Ogden Temple Open House

On September 6th we had the chance to walk through the newly renovated Ogden Temple.  It was beautiful and we were so excited to have it back.  It's been a long time and we've waited anxiously for it to open again.  I love to see the temple!!!

Kaylee's 13th Birthday

Well it's happened...I now have an official teenager...another one!  Heaven help me!!!

Isn't she cute though, especially while stuffing her mouth with a giant birthday donut?

She had a great day and got lots of fun stuff.

New clothes and shoes!

Of course $$$ is a great present for a teenager!

Then for cake she wanted cheesecake.  She LOVES cheesecake!

Make a wish!

We love you baby girl!  Hope you had a great birthday!

First Day of School 2014

Today's the first day of school, oh my!

Shelby is in 11th grade at Syracuse High School this year.  She is going to be getting her CNA certificate while she's there to start her career in the medical field.  We're so proud of her!

Kaylee start junior high today.  She's in 7th grade at West Point Jr. High.  She's a little nervous and not sure she wants to go through with this moving on from elementary thing.  But we have faith in her and know she'll do a great job!

Carson is in 5th grade still at Lakeside.  Not too many changes yet for him so he's a pro at this.

Austin is the hardest one for me.  He starts kindergarten today.  I didn't think it would be that hard but knowing that this is the last child of mine that will have a first day of kindergarten is kind of tearing at my heart strings!  He's so big!!!

He didn't even want to hold my hand walking in to his classroom!  My heart broke just a little!

Christi's Wedding

On August 21st our good friend Christi got married.  She is so cute and it was so great to see this happy occasion!  Congratulations Christi and Jake!

This was at her reception.  We have such a great group of friends and I truly love them all!

They had a photo booth with dress-up stuff and lips and mustaches.  Christi and Jake were busy so we had a great time by ourselves!  I think we manipulated that photo booth longer than the little kids did!  Who are we kidding...when we're together we act more like little kids than the little kids do!

Nye Summer Luau

This year's luau was fantastic.  Grandma Nye bought these blow-up things where you try to bump your opponent out of the ring.  I took more pictures but for some reason can't find them.  But here's the one with Curt and Troy.  Nothing better than brothers battling for bragging rights!

Thanks for the fun times, Grandma and Grandpa Nye!

Cousin Birthday Party 2014

On August 2nd we had our annual Nye Cousin Birthday Party.  Jeff and Holly were in town from Washington and they actually planned it.  We had at Get Air, a trampoline park in Kaysville.  It was so much fun.  Most of the moms didn't jump but the dads got in there with kids and there ended up being this gigantic game of dodge ball with our whole family and a lot of the people who were there with their families.  It was so fun to watch.  A dad that was there said that he's never played so hard in his life and loved playing on Curt's team because Curt took it just as seriously as this guy did, too.  They were dripping in sweat but they all had a great time!!!

Love this picture of Shelby!  She's going to kill me that I put this on here!!!!  That's what she gets for being funny!

 

Pineview Fun

Today we went to Pineview with our friends the Smith's.  They have a boat so we went to play in the sand and water.

This is Darcy, their youngest.  She's a little spit-fire but the cutest thing ever!!!

The kids loved playing in the water and riding on the tubes!

Of course there's handstand competitions!

These pictures are deceiving.  It looks like he's swimming but he's just fooling!

This is where he always ends up.  He loves to play in the sand!  I love his face on this picture!

Thanks Alex and Brydie for having us.  It was a blast!
