Fall 2015

Hannah finished her volleyball season. She loves it! She has become such a good little player. Her team had a great season.

Chloe surprised us by failing her vision screening at school. I took her to the eye doctor and sure enough she needs glasses. She is very far sighted. It took her a little bit to get use to her glasses but she loves them now. 

We were able to go to a few homecoming parades. Heath always drives his dad's car in the Bonneville one. 

Heath giving away the truck at the Civil War game. 

Kinley loves her bag of candy that she gets at the parade.

Chloe started dance. She loves going to class with Tessa and her teacher Natalie.

We have had a beautiful fall. The weather has been beautiful. After one rain storm, there was a beautiful double rainbow. Love all the awesome fall colors.

We went to a few of Alexis's volleyball games. She is a junior for the Shelley russets. They were able to win state this year!

We went on a family trip to Utah. We went to the Hogle zoo, took Granny great to dinner, swam at the hotel, visited Mike and Jenny and went to a BYU game. It was a fun time. 

We have been working hard on redoing Hayden and the little girls room. Hayden got a queen bed and decorated in a Bronco's theme.

The little girls have a bird room. They now share a room with bunkbeds. Kinley has only fallen out a few times. :) We now have an office upstairs again. 

HALLOWEEN! We loved all the fun activities. Grandma and Grandpa Thornton always grow us awesome pumpkins and gourds. We had fun carving them.

Hannah dressed up like Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz and Hayden was Willie from Duck Dynasty. 

Chloe was Elsa from Frozen.

Chloe was a bumblebee.

I was Sadness from Inside Out with my ladies at work.

We had fun at the parade and parties at school. 

We went to Utah for Sydnie's baptism. It happened to be on Halloween. We stayed there and celebrated with them. They had an awesome neighborhood to trick or treat in. They all have decorated doors, spook alleys, and give great treats. 

We rode around on a trailer with straw. It was a really warm evening too. 

Hayden meeting his cousin Ellyiott.

Winter is officially here. It snowed this week. At least the girls were excited to play in it. 

1st Day of School 2015

The year has started out great. This will be the only time that we have three kids in one school. Everyone is so happy with their classes and who they are with. 

Hannah started 6th grade with Mr. Sorenson. She is loving her class and being the oldest in the school.

Hayden started 5th grade with Mr. Weller. He loves his jokes already and is working hard in school. I think he was the most excited to go back. 

Chloe started afternoon kindergarten with Mrs. Taylor. She is loving it and loves her mornings at home. She has missed preschool a little because you got to play more but is really adjusting to all the learning she is doing. She is excited to learn to read. 

Kinley is trying hard to keep up with her siblings and thinks she should do just as they do.

First day getting off the bus. We love all the kids in the neighborhood. Chloe did great on her first ride home with Hannah's help. 

Kinley has had fun hanging out with mom doing things like getting her haircut, going to parades, and hanging out with grandma and grandpa while mom works. 

Chloe loves all the great kids in her class. Her and Kendyl help each other be brave with new things. 

Kinley is still trying to keep up with everyone and finally gives in wherever she is at. 

Then finally Kinley got to start three year old preschool even though she is technically still two. She is doing really well with it and loves to have her own place to go. We love Ms. Joy!

Chloe finally got to start the kindergarten bus. She loves she has Pyper to get on the bus with. They love having the bus to theirselves during the day. 

We have started a full schedule with football games, volleyball games, dance, music lessons, guitar, homework and lots of work. We are busy but blessed and happy!

Happy 5th Birthday, Chloe!

Chloe had a great summer birthday. She woke up to decorations in her room and a french toast birthday with candy syrup. 

Hannah helped decorate her cupcakes in the number five. 

She received lots of barbies and barbie clothes. 

Our first activity was to ride our bikes around the river. We love stopping at all the benches that are around the river. It is such a fun place to walk around. 

We love the park that is by the river. It is fun to play at. 

Then we had lunch and headed to ijump. It was so much fun jumping for an hour. 

We played with neighbors, took a nap,  and then headed to chick fil a for dinner. Both sides of grandparents came over for cake. It was a great day!

More Summer Fun 2015

Our summer continues to be great! We have had a few days at home lately which has been nice to get a few projects done and just hang out with friends. Hayden had a day camp to krupp scout hollow. He had an awesome time and especially liked shooting the guns.

He participated in the golfing tournament. It was a little cold that day. They all had a great time with golf this summer. Hannah was a trooper to hang out with the boys all summer. 

Hannah also got to go to Krupp Scout Hollow for day camp. They had a great time with a water day.

Hannah practicing her skills with baking.

We went to Utah to visit the Huls family. We love seeing them. Jenn took their pictures. The cousins had an awesome time hanging out. They swam, slip and slide, rode bikes, didn't sleep, visited Mike and Jenny and family and then we went to Seven Peaks.

Kinley just being cute this summer.

We have really enjoyed having the boat this summer. We have had a great time together as a family. Hayden learned how to waterski and wakeboard. Hannah loves kneeboarding and everyone loves the tube. It has been fun to bring friends and meet other families there. Chloe and Kinley learned how to swim with their lifejackets. They were really scared at the first of the summer so this was a big deal. Mom even waterskiied once this summer which was also a big deal.

We went on a trip to Boise while Heath had meetings. We love the downtown Hampton to stay at. There is so much to do there. We loved walking around downtown. Running around the campus. Going to the Zoo. School shopping and swimming a lot at the hotel. It was a great weekend. We just missed Hayden because he had to stay home for football practice.

Hayden did get to go with Heath to Denver. They were able to go to the Broncos training camp and watch them. They were so excited to see Peyton Manning. Hayden got a few autographs too. That night they went to a Rockies baseball game. They had a great time.

 We made a bucket list of a few last things we want to to before summer is over. We are excited to accomplish those and then be back to school. Everyone is excited for school to start.
