First Day of School!!!!





Well, school started a week ago today, so we are a little slow here. The girls had a great first day! They liked the teachers and seemed great! They just both got sick after day two!!! It was crazy my kids were missing part of the first week of school! Monday was Paige's first day to ride the bus (they didn't bus kindergartners the first three days, while they set up the routes for the little one's!) We were so sad when the bus stopped at our house to pick her up, and we had to yell out the window at the bus driver that she was sick!!! Tuesday we missed the bus pick up, we weren't sure what time it was coming, and somehow missed it. So, I dropped her off at school, and told her to ride the bus home. So after school, I run out with my camera to catch both of my girls riding the bus home for the first time together, and only Morgan got off the bus!!! I asked her where Paige was and she said she hadn't seen her!! So we raced inside, woke up Carson, drove to the school, and hoped she wasn't headed to some other neighborhood!!! She and one other lonely child were standing in front of the school, looking like they had flakes for mothers!!! So today she rode the bus to school, and both of my daughters actually came off the bus!! It was great except for today, my camera batteries were dead!!! So here are a couple of first day pictures, minus and bus photo's!!!!

Lowry Family Reunion 2007





I have been stressing about the Lowry family reunion for weeks now ( I was in charge!), and now it is officially over and someone else's turn to worry. We had a great weekend!! It rained and rained, so I was glad I had stressed about games to keep the 11 grandchildren-who were cooped up in the cabin together- busy. They played together really well, it was really fun. It was really nice to relax, and the rain make the weather wonderfully cool!!! We also had some great thunderstorms. We were really glad that we were not staying in tents! It was fun to hang out with family, the only problem was the 1 and 2 AM bedtimes. So most of us came home a little hammered. Here are some pictures of the cabin we stayed in and all the cute cousins!!!

Star Valley!!




Every year, the first weekend of August we head to the Lincoln County Fair! Our children love it and we get in a visit to Great Grandpa Lindberg! The kids had a great time riding rides and seeing animals. Carson loved getting a ride with Daddy on grandpa's tractor! Carson was in heaven checking out the horses, lots of cats (he calls them meow's), 4-wheelers, and all the farm equipment. It was great to have a little time to relax!
