The Night Before...

The night before a Missionary leaves for the MTC can be a little hectic... BUT we had been gathering everything that he would need for the past 3 months.  Zack took a picture of his stash  before he packed it.  He was set apart as a missionary too.  It was nice to have Grandparents and Aunt Sandy there too.

Fall Pictures 2011

We had BIG plans...

It's the Monday before Zack leaves for the MTC...  we had plans to go to Crystal Springs....  We are all ready to go, some even in their swimsuits... I call to confirm their hours... ALL the slides are closed for the day... QUICKLY come up with a new plan!!!  

We talked about going to a local swimming pool, miniature golfing, bowling but we couldn't agree... SO we ended up going to a movie.  "Cowboys & Aliens"... the trailers that I had seen looked ok... everyone hurry up and get into the car...  the opening scenes are blood and gore and it gets worst from there!  I do not recommend this film.

These pictures are obviously the happy before the movie starts faces!!!

Zack's Farewell

We had Zack's farewell a couple of weeks ago (July 31st).  He did such a great job on his talk.... no flippin' or slang of any kind :)

He already acts like a missionary! 

We will miss his smile around here!

July 24th

This year for the 24th we went down to Aunt Becky's (inlaw's) to swim with the family.  Sadly these are the only photo's that I took that day!  I don't know what it is with holidays and my family this year.... but Megan is getting nervous for Labor Day!  It's her turn for an accident! :(

Day 3 of Staycation

Day 3 we went to see Harry Potter 7 part 2.   LOVED IT!  It even made me cry.  I'm a little sorry to see it all end!

Day 2 of Staycation

Cowabunga Bay... We were so excited to try out this new park.  It was OK.... the slides look MUCH bigger from the freeway!  I would say great for younger kids.  I think we would have had a better time if the wind wasn't blowing all day!  

Fry Night is always a hit at our house.  We don't do it very often.... so when we do the kids get to pick out what we are going to fry.  Tonight was pot stickers, onion rings, chicken, zuchinni and lots of other good stuff!
