First day of school 2010

Karen is a Freshman and Rachel is a Senior. They both go to University High at Tolleson Highschool. Since Rachel has graduated 8th grade the middle school had changed school boundaries and now feeds out to another high school. So Rachel can take the bus, but Karen can't because they no longer have the funding to provide transportation for out of bound kids. We don't want Karen going to her boundary school so we have to drive her.

We make a stop at the water park after dropping the girls off at school. Autumn usually is the only kid there that early.

Autum was playing outside and I had on the sprinkler and she started to get wet then grabbed my hand and led me inside the house to the bathroom. She wanted shampoo to take a showa (shower) outside.

Fish Hatchery

We stopped on the way home to have a picnic at the hatchery. It rain pretty hard while at the hatchery, but stopped once we sat and ate.

We went with Jon, David and D'Ree. David was trying to catch some air.

Autumn loves the trees!

Autumn got a dirty face after rolling down the hill, I had to dive ahead of her to stop her from rolling and slid down the bank in the process, but did manage to stop her before we got anywhere near the rushing creek. Gave Jack a good laugh.

The pouring rain!

Daddy helped keep Autumn dry.

Trip to Snowflake

We went to Snowflake for the celebrations, can't remember the last time we went. We saw most of the parade and went to the Art Show.

Sitting in Grandma Marili's grass, toes tied.

Feeding Uncle Bills horses, Autumn wasn't scared to shove them some hay.

Making a turtle with Jape(Jake) at the park.

Laying in the grass at the Art Show just before the rain shower.

Rachel Marili 17

For Rachel's birthday we went out to eat at Red Lobster and walked the Mall. Autumn got a Elmo balloon(has ears?) Then we ate cheese cake. Rachel got a new dresser and bedspread to finish the decor in her room. She finally got all her key chain collection on display.
