    Packer is in 2nd Grade. Mrs. Acker is a new teacher at our school. She seems really nice. I hope Packer has a GREAT year. This is the First time that Luca is not in his class with him but they did find each other on the first recess πŸ™‚

    Benji is in 4th Grade. He was not excited to go to school BUT he has friends in his class – Seth, Brock and Austin, so that makes it ok. His teacher is Mrs. Durrant.

    The boys love walking with their cousins and neighbors. It looks like it’s gonna be a good year!

    Crystal Hot Springs

    No Comments

    We drove to Honeyville on Saturday and met up with some of my family: Ryan, Joel, Brady and Shannon. We spent the day at the hot springs swimming and eating and chatting and playing with kids. We had been warned that Crystal Springs is pretty trashy BUT we fit right in πŸ™‚ Everyone helped with our kids which was so nice and makes it enjoyable for Ben and I. It was great to visit with Shannon who just moved to Ogden. The water was perfect temperature – one pool was cool and the other 2 were at least 80 degrees. I didn’t get to try the hot hot tubs and the 3 different temperature water falls were neat but always crowded. The water had a gross taste to it if it got anywhere near your mouth. Don’t wear white in the water though, the kids white swim shirts are now copper brown πŸ™‚ We didn’t pay for the slide – a few people did and said it was ok, not amazing but fun.Β On our way home Megan took us to one of their family favorite places to eat – Maddox. It was super crowded but the food was good… and That was our last Saturday of the Summer!

    Fishing with Grandpa

    No Comments

    On Friday the 3 oldest kids got to go fishing with their Grandpa and their Dad! They went to Deer Creek and fished from the boat. This was Cali’s first time going. They got a few nibbles but Grandpa Netty was the only one that caught one. The kids weren’t too sad since they had talked about bringing one home for dinner and none of them wanted to do that. They loved the boat and loved the attention.
