First Day of School!











Today, August 18th, 2009, is the first day back to school! All the joys of homework, waking up early, the morning rush and a tight schedule was put back into our lives. Fun. Miranda a Junior, I a Freshman, and Jordan into sixth grade (ugh, middle school). Miranda and I rode to school this morning in her car. Mom wanted to take a picture because we looked "so grown up". Jordan rode with mom, and then while we went to school, so did mom. She did her hours at the elementary school, had lunch, went back to the elementary school to do paperwork, picked us up, took me to the dermatologist (which took an hour and a half), came back home, and made dinner. What a day!

Knoxville, TN

Aunt Cathy and Uncle Mark had to work during the day on the week of August 2- August 7, 2009 and needed my mom and I to come and babysit the boys, which we did gladly.


The moon was so pretty that we just had to take a picture of it.


We sat out on the boat and watched the sunset.
Alex wanted to drive, so Uncle Mark let him drive.



After driving, there was a little dancing...



And then back to driving.






Alex and Blake liked to throw things in the pool. So when it was clean up time, and Alex called for help, super girl was on the way! Mom picked up her "cape" and called "super girl is on the way!". she set down her "cape" at the end of the pool and did a belly flop, but as she was jumping in, the towel caught her foot and flew into the pool. When she came up, Alex, Blake, and I all were laughing. Then we all had to try it, Blake did it first, then Alex, even I tried it.

Blake and I reading



We went to Baskin Robins, Mom, Blake, and I, and I think that Blake really enjoyed the ice cream.


Running Camp


















July 19- July 23, 2009, Miranda went to running camp. She had a lot of fun, even though running eleven miles a day, she got to spend time with friends and, at the end of camp, they sang and dance in Lip Sinc.



Kentucky Missions



June 30- July 4, 2009, Miranda went to Kentucky on a mission trip. Although it was hard work, she had a lot of fun.

Jenny Gets Glasses!


I used to have to wear reading glasses, but I never wore them and now I have to wear them all the time. Nice one, Jenny.
