September Activities


First Day of School - Kassy is in 4th grade & Brittnie is in1st grade.My friend Kristie (who we call crazy holiday mom) likes to celebrate the different holidays throughout the year. September 19th is "Talk like a pirate day". We had a treasure hunt for the kids in the neighborhood. RJ and Alexis were enjoying themselves. Kassy getting some last minute advice from her Coach Lauryn. She has had three meets in the last five weeks. She qualified to move on to sectionals on October 22. If she does well there she will move on to state. Kassy on the awards stand. "Gymnast Salute!!"Then Kristie (crazy holiday mom - the one reading the book) had an Apple Party to celebrate apple season. They read apple books (10 apples up on top, etc.), played "Apple, Apple, Seed" (duck,duck, goose), apple concentration, had an apple relay, and ate apple slices, applesauce, apple juice and apple crisp. RJ and Sean were enjoying the books.We had our buddy Sean come visit for a few days while he was here in California.

Some Firsts


RJ dislocated his wrist playing around at the pool. It popped back into place on its own but he was in pain for a day or so. He kept asking me to put another band aid on his arm. He thought that would take the pain away. The doctor said he most kids won't keep a sling on but RJ wouldn't take it off. He even had to sleep with it on.


Brittnie lost her first tooth (besides the one that has been broken since she was one) on her birthday. It had barely been loose and she bit into a ear of corn at the ward beach party and it loosened it right up. A little pull and it was out. No crying or anything. She wanted it out!!!

Alexis decided to roll over. Her siblings had just come in from playing outside and she put on a show for the whole family. We all got to see her roll for the first time. Look at that proud daddy in the background.


That was a lot of hard work.

Allen Reunion August 2006



On the Trip to Palisades Reseviour (eastern Idaho and western Wyoming for those who don't know where it is).
The adventure began even before we got to camp. At least Rollin had some helpers.

RJ and Alexis were worn out and after only one night.

We had a blast in the water. (Mazie, Kassy, Syd, and Amber)

Does Pops even know about this picture since he is asleep?

We hope everyone had as much fun at the reunion as we did.
