First Day of School

Today was the first day of school! Kaden is starting the 4th grade, and Allie is starting the 1st grade. I have to say that this summer flew by so fast. I was not looking forward for school starting so quickly! (Just kidding) I was soooooo ready for school to start. I was afraid Allie and Kaden may kill each other before school started. Sending Allie off to school all day is a big adjustment at our house. Both kids gone all day long! What am I going to do with myself?......

I'm sure I will think of something:)

Please keep the comments about bathtubs and books to yourself!

What some cute kids!

Joseph, Utah/Bryce Canyon

Over the 24th of July we went to my dad's home town of Joseph, Utah, for a Mills family reunion. Joseph is a small town south of Richfield. Population of about 300. Growing up as a kid some of my favorite memories about Joseph was my grandpa's dairy farm, riding 4-wheelers, walking to the Flying U for some candy, sitting on the side of the road trying to get all the semi's that drove by to honk with my cousins (not sure how safe we were), Thanksgiving dinners, hiking in the hills and cutting down our own Christmas trees, and there are many more. Both of my grandparents on that side have passed away, so we hadn't been down in a long time. It was a lot of fun reliving some of those memories those few days in Joseph. (Just for the record, we did not try to get any semi's to honk at us!)

All the cousins and grandkids.

Not sure why I never was a rodeo princess.....Seriously

One day we drove to Bryce Canyon and went on a hike and bike ride. We had tons of fun!

The hike we went on was called the Navajoo Loop Trail.

Here is my nephew Bryce:)

Last but not least, it's always fun swimming in the hotel pool!
