Jory T., Dallin, Camri, Cody and I were able to go to Priest Lake with some friends over Labor Day Weekend. Jory was still too busy planting and Kylie had a vball tourny, but the rest of us went anyway. I felt guilty until I got there and saw how beautiful it was. We had a great time. We played all day in the lake swimming, paddle boating, jet skiing, fishing, diving, and canoeing. We went on a nature walk and went to these rock water slides. I got the biggest bruise in my life from them, but couldn't show anyone because of its location;) The kids were able to do lots of four wheeling and motorcycle riding as well. We have the best friends in the world, not just because they took us up there, but because they truly love and care for us. I sure love them:)
Kylie is enjoying volleyball and doing great. Her team is lacking in heighth, but she's having a great time. Her first home game, she sang the National Anthem and forgot where she was at. The audience helped her out and cheered afterward. Last Thursday, her friend Michael gave the coach a volleyball for Kylie that read, "It would be a hit if you went to Homecoming with me." The coach gave it to her during serving warmups. She went bright red and got hugged by her team. The next night, she sang the National Anthem for the home football game. After she said, "Michael Hale, yes I'll go to Homecoming with you." The crowd cheered and the team started smacking Michael around as football players do. So she's excited to go to homecoming. Pictures to be posted later;)
Dallin decided to break his arm after school. He was playing king of the box on top of a utility box in the park. He lost as he was pulled off and landed on his arm. I was driving by shortly after and saw him walking home, crying. I figured an eighth grader beat him up. No, he was just being a boy. He broke both bones in his arm. It was a clean break. It was broken like how a can starts to be crunched, so he didn't have to have it set. We go back next week to see if it is healing well.
He was really excited for the cast and everyone to sign. As a parent, this was not a big deal. I had Jory T. at home to babysit. Kylie showed up later to fix dinner. I just got to sit in the Drs. office and tell Dallin stories of all the stupid things I did as a kid. I love having teenagers. Well, most of the time. 
And we did start school again. Everyone goes quite early, so Camri is the only one I remembered to take a picture of. It's been a good start so far:)
