Stacie and I decided to take the kids to the drive-in.  We watched Despicable Me 2.  
It was a lot fun! 


Teniele also joined us with Joshua and James.


Oh and Jocey came too!

Taylor photo bombed them with her foot.






The movie was awesome! We all loved it!

1st Day of School

1st day of school went pretty smooth! 
Here's hoping for a fantastic year! 
 We can always pray!


Love these two so much!
Kacie and Mallory....can't believe they are Freshmen!

Brady's teacher Mrs. Nichols. I sure hope they get along good this year!
Brady with his good friend Callie.
  
On a side note...yesterday I got a call from Brandon's home and his school is wanting to charge him out of state tuition (since his parents live in Oregon) to the tune of $40,000 per year.  Didn't even take into consideration that he has lived in Idaho since February 2010.  So he won't be going to Meridian High until he turns 21.  Thankfully Tomorrows Hope has a day program they are going to put him in.  I'm also so glad we didn't wait until he turned 21 for him to walk with the graduating class.  

They also took him to have a bone density test and they going to have to take him off of the Depokote which helps with his behavior because it is starting to cause osteopenia.  This is having bone mineral density that is below normal levels but not low enough to be classified as osteporosis.  Sure hope the medication change doesn't mess him up.

Happy Birthday to Me!

 Scott was out antelope hunting so I thought it would be fun to go see the Disney movie Planes.  It was so cute and it was fun going with so much family.  Kacie was thrilled that Steele was able to go too.  She has been wanting to do something for him since he broke his arm and this worked out good.

After the movie we went to Kiwi Loco and then to Ryan's last flag football game.
