Getting Ready to Start School

I can't tell you how nice it is to have our own personal stylist
in the family!

Maddie got everyone decked out before school started and
saved me a fortune at the salon :)

Bronson does not like to get his hair cut -
or pose for pictures!
 Talbie loved her new hair and tinted eye brows :)
 Emmie got a "home" hair cut/trim.  She wants to keep growing
her out but refuses to wear it any way but in a pony tail.

Random Happenings...

We've had a busy summer and I'm finding that
I am only taking pictures on my iPhone these days because it's so convenient.

I've also been loving Instagram so I find that I don't blog as much as I used to.
I still need to keep a record of things going on with our family and
the blog is a good place to do that.  So - here are some our latest happenings...

Talbie went to Girl's Camp on July 24-July 28.  She had a great time!
She was a ward and stake YCL this year with her friend Kayla Crandall.
Camp was a huge success this year.  Our ward theme was
"We Can Do Hard Things" and they used "Rosie the Riveter" as their mascot.

 This is the "Rosie the Riveter" doll/mascot Talbie made to go to camp with the girls
 Before she left for camp I took my cute girls to Target for some last minute supplies :)
Talbie turned 16 the day after she returned home from camp.
We had a fun family party on Sunday and then on Monday- we went to the 
DMV and got her license!
She's a little nervous driving still but she has already taken herself to
the library and the mall!


Bronson had Scout Camp the week after Talbie got home.
Bronson is the oldest Deacon and will be 14 in October so this was his last
camp as a Deacon.  He had a ton of fun and finished up some merit badges he needed.
 Dave and I were able to go up on his last night for a fireside.
It was fun to see him :)  
Let me just say that boys at camp and SO much different than girls...
 Bronson was there for 5 days and only changed his clothes ONCE!
When he got home and we started to unpack his stuff, everything was clean and folded - just
like he had packed it.  The most disturbing thing was this "pristine" hygiene kit I sent with him.
It wasn't TOUCHED the entire 5 days.  Eeeewwww!

Our latest party was my cousin Holly's baby shower on Saturday.
 She is having her first baby - a girl - any minute!
We're so excited for you, Holly!!
