School Starts

Another year of school starting. Jake started High School at Maple Mountain. Daxton and Josh both are in 8th grade at Mapleton Jr. High. Amanda and Alyssa are at Sierra Bonita in 6th and 3rd grade. Rylan is at Hobblecreek in 5th grade and Keslee is at Mapleton in 2nd grade. It is crazy to have so many kids at so many different schools, but it keeps us busy. Daxton did not want me to take his picture because he is "too old" but he was a good sport.

Rylan and Keslee are both bussed to their schools.

Keslee has her favorite bus driver Jeremy again this year. He sings songs to the kids all the way to school. She just loves him!

Pinewood Derby

Rylan had his pinewood derby. He had a lot of fun making his Utah State car. He ended up taking 3rd place and we were all so excited! Way to go Rylan!

VICKI AND CRAIG'S WEDDING

Vicki and Craig got married in August. It was a very fast engagement, but the wedding was absolutely perfect! My parents flew Audrey and Scott and the kids back to Utah so we could all be there. We had a ton of fun! Look at all these cute kids waiting at the temple.

These two little boys never stop making me smile. They are so alike. They both got a lot of Grandpa Bingham's genes.....

Vicki asked me to make the flowers for her hair and all of the little girls. I was so nervous, but then she asked me to do her HAIR! I thought I was going to die! That is one of the most important things at a girl's wedding. I was very happy she trusted me to do it because I sure didn't trust myself. The only thing that mattered was that she loved her hair!!! Vicki was so happy and gorgeous she could have worn a pony tail and been beautiful!

They got attacked with children as they came out of the temple.

Here is Vicki and all of the girls frm both sides.

I loved ths picture because it is so magical....little girls twirling...that includes Vicki.

Here is Craig with all the boys from both sides except for the one hiding in the upper corner.

Here are the sisters.

This is exactly what you get when you put these guys together. Luckily there was a little room off to the side where the kids could be themselves.

This is probably my favorite picture I got because I love the look on my Dad's face. He is so happy for Vicki. She really did find the perfect guy for her and she is the happiest I have ever seen her.

Keslee could not leave Craig alone. She loves him. We are so happy he is in our family. He is always so fun with the kids and so cute with Keslee.

Look how cute baby Lilly is snuggling up to Daxton!

The two little besties.

The kids decorated their car and Vicki was a really good sport when she came out to see the handy work. Congratulations guys! We love you!

Summer Family Trip

We went up to Idaho for our family trip this year. Daxton and Rylan were able to each take a friend, so we went with 9 kids. It was crazy but so much fun! We first went to Paul's brother's house. We went to the sand dunes to play and ride 4 wheelers. We had a jumping contest off of a dune and Jake won by a long shot.

At the end, we all lined up and went at the same time.

Rylan and Zayden

Keslee was a GREAT driver. She wanted to go faster. She has no fear.

Back at the cousin's house, they have a lot of animals and the boys had fun trying to ride the pigs.

We also went cave exploring.

This is what we all looked like when we left the and dunes.

Then, after a few days we went up to Island Park to a cabin right by the lake. Grandma Daybell and more cousins came up to the cabin and spent the rest of the week with us! Daxton and his friend Josh could not stay out of the water.

This is Daxton jumping off the raft.

Jake looked too relaxed so Paul had to spray him with water. It was so funny!

Josh and Amanda loved the double bike. They were really good at it.

We stopped to see some really neat waterfalls on the way home.
