School is in Session!

Some photos from the morning of the first day of school.
Brayden 6th grade, Zach 8th grade and Haley 5th grade

Kacie kindergarten and Nate 1st grade

This is how Nate posed when I told him to smile for a picture--silly boy!

Family

Here are some random photos of our cute family.

Brett and Kara on the bay front in Newport Oregon this August. We love to come here and relax, eat great food and just be together.

My cute grandma with Kacie, Haley and Nate.

Myself with my grandma Root. She's 95 and looks so great!

Zach sporting some of his new school clothes--what a handsome young man. Watch out Jr. High!

Sisters a shoulders to lean on! Kacie catching some zzzz s on the way up to Kilgore

Zach giving Nate a ride on the rip stick.

Brett and I in Newport right after a satisfying lunch at Mo's --yummy!

Kacie's driving lesson on the way home from church. We were all scared!

Soccer Fever

Nate and Kacie played on the same soccer team this summer. They had a great season and Nate is so serious! It cracks me up! Kacie was more interested in the grass salads she'd make when she was sitting out.

The team and Coach Watson

I am not sure what Kacie is doing here :)

I guess that stretching made her thirsty

A grass fight caught on film

Yes, Nate is definitely more into the game. Go Nate!

Justin, Nate, Ben and Ethan

Ouch!

Brett had an unfortunate accident on the 4-wheeler a couple weeks ago. He was speeding through the field behind the house as Bella ran beside him and didn't see a big hole in the ground. He flipped off the 4-wheeler and got some doozies for bruises. It knocked him out for awhile also. We're glad it wasn't worse and that time has healed all wounds.
