Back to School!

Well, I am back in school. This week was the beginning of a new year in COOP. These first three days have been spent training the new high school students to be prepared for the little ones to come tomorrow. So far it is going very well and I am anxious for the little ones to come. We had our parent meeting last night. That is always nerve racking for me but it always seems to go very well. I enjoy seeing the parents' face light up when I tell them about all of the cool activities that their children will be doing during the year. So we are off to a good start.

Yellowstone Park, August 2009

We were so excited when we were driving into Yellowstone Park and saw this MOOSE! We have always been anxious to see moose when we go up to the northern states. We stayed the night in a neat cabin 36 miles outside of Yellowstone near Big Skye, Montana. On our way into the park in the early morning, we saw this guy just off the road. We actually saw 5 moose on this trip! This is the best picture that we got though. The others we could see really well with the binoculars. Very memorable!

Idaho Trip

While we were visiting Ben and Shanae and Baby Saige, we took a day to attend the temple. Our plan was to go to the new Rexburg Temple however when we arrived we learned that it was closed for cleaning. It is a beautiful temple and perhaps we will have another opportunity to visit and do a session there. We drove back to Idaho Falls and attending a sessioin there. It is a beautiful temple as well and the grounds were just lovely. Our list is growing of all the temples that we have been able to visit and do a session. We are surely blessed!

Carl's Dream

While we were in Idaho, Carl became a bit envious of all the drift boats that we saw there. We took a little drive one evening and kept seeing them behind every truck. He even discovered this Hyde Drift Boat dealership and I couldn't resist taking a picture of the "dream boat" even though we had just come from the Idaho Falls Temple. We talked about all the fun we could have together with a boat - me rowing and him fishing the day away! Yeah! What a dream! Well, you never know!

A Lee Baby with lots of dark hair!

It's definitely amazing to see such a precious little Lee baby with hair! She has enough to have an adorable curl on top and wear bows and keep them in! Wow!

Our 7th Grandchild!

Carl and I traveled to Idaho to meet our new, precious, little granddaughter. We are so proud! Isn't she just adorable? Papa is definitely admired by Saige - just look at how she is staring at him! We spent a week enjoying her and giving her lots of hugs and kisses. It sure is hard to be so far away from this cutie pie.
