This boy of ours is getting big! I can't believe he turned 8 years old this summer and was baptized. He is such an intelligent little guy, asking questions, working things over in his mind, thinking, always thinking. He read through almost the entire Lemony Snicket series this summer and earned almost $25 doing our "penny a page" reading program. We made a checklist of things to do this summer and I think we got through almost all of them.
Some of our summer list:
see the Greenshow
make homemade strawberry lemonade
ride bikes in the kid-car-wash
make smores out back
sleep outside
watch fireworks
going swimming a bunch
visit Star Valley
make rocket balloons
eat humbugs
I think we did all of them!
This was his last day of school in Cedar. Such a cute little first grader.
Since we only do friend parties when the kids are 5, 8, 12, and 16, it was a year for a friend party! Tyson choose to do a small one up at the aquatic center. Man, these pictures makes me miss Cedar so badly! Dusty was the person in the pool, and I stayed out in case we had to deal with an emergency.
Tyson is getting really confident in the deep-end.
Can you find Jackie?
It was nice to have a little get-together for Tyson before we moved. It was just the day before this that we had decided to accept Dusty's job offer.
We baptized Tyson up in Star Valley because it was easier to get our families together.
We had been talking about baptism for quite a while and Tyson was excited for it.
Afterwards we had a little luncheon in the pavilion with our families. It was a little chaotic at first because my mind was so scattered with the details of my upended life, but thankfully the moms helped me out and we got it all together.
Is this proof that Will truly does love his sisters?
This is a cute one of the cousins bonding yet again over electronics.
The day we moved, I asked the boys where they wanted to take pictures and they told me, in front of the tree-house.
We had so many great times in this backyard. My heart aches to think that we won't ever play in it again. But onward and upward!
Dusty took Tyson to the local skate park a couple of times this summer. Tyson got to be a little bit braver on his bike and scooter. It's not the environment I want my kids to hang out in though, so I was glad that Dusty was there to monitor.
Tyson really had fun with his cousins in Star Valley this summer. I am glad that they are finally getting to know each other.
This was the first day of second grade here in Worland. Tyson did great! We had already met his teacher and he knew a few kids in his class so he wasn't nervous at all! He has done so great with this move and I can only think of one time that he had a sad moment.
