Ellie's Birthday

First Day of School

It's been very crazy around here since school started. Here are a few of our favorite pictures since then . . .

Thank You for Your Prayers

For all of you who have been praying for Mr. Hager, he passed away this afternoon at 3:00 p.m. We will miss him dearly . . .

Happy 5th Birthday Abbey!

GYMNASTICS!

Ellie, Nathaniel and Abbey all started gymnastics last week. Today was their second time. These are a few pictures from last week. Check out the video of Nathaniel. He is SOOO excited to be in gymnastics. He goes all out each time:).

Mr. Hager

The kids and I went to visit Mr. Hager. He is not doing well and the prognosis is not very good. They are going to begin radiation this week, but only try it for two weeks to start with. It will take an absolute miracle for him to pull out of this. As Ellie said though, "Mom I sure am glad he's a Christian."

Christine and Emily are Here!

Emily, Christine, Abbey, Nathaniel, Ellie and Sam at the Upper Falls

Christine and Emily have been here since Wednesday. After an eventful flight experience, they arrived safely and spent Thursday watching the kids while I was out of town for teacher training in Moscow Idaho. On Friday, Shane took everyone to Yellowstone while I travelled home. Yesterday we recovered and went swimming in the afternoon, after a much anticipated (by Emily) visit to the pasture to meet the horses. We are looking forward to some naps here in just a bit and see what the rest of the week holds.
