Back to School

Well, Here we go again. This year brings us all to new schools. Mom started to teach first grade atDeclo Elementary. So that brought Blakely and Katelyn over to Declo. Many tears were shed by Katelyn the night before school started, but she was a real trooper mainly thanks to EMily. She is in the 3rd grade with Mrs. Wrigley. Blakely starts the dreaded junior high. After three days of schuedule changes I think we got it right. she has signed up for band. MY CLass consists of 22 students, 15 of them being boys.Wow! I think it will be a good class. Garret and Brady are also being troopers staying with a gal named Tara.She distracts Brady every morning with fish and kittens. One week down, many to go.

Sunday Drive

We went for a Sunday drive a Sunday or two ago. We went to the Oakley Resorivor. I have never been there and was amazed how big it was. We walked down to the water's edge and let the kids wade. We found crawfish. When we started out for this drive Blakely wanted nothing to do with it. You can tell that by the end she was just fine with it. We returned home to well done Barb-que ribs for dinner. All in all a good drive.

Getting Rid of Puppies

Well, we went to Walmart today with three puppies. (We wanted to take four but there was so much weeping and waling, we just took three) Anyhow, within 15 minutes all three puppies were gone. Another family wanting another puppy. We stood in awe that they were gone so quickly and said we should have brought more. Once we got back to the car, the tears started to roll from Katelyn wanting the puppies back. We tried to decide whether it was worth the gas to get the other puppies. All the way home the kids were saying, "No ,you can't take my puppy," but Next Saturday here we come. Grandpa if you want one you better come get it. !!!!!!

Manwaring Family Reunion

We DID IT!!! All the Brothers and Sisters got together in the first time in three years. We had family pictures, we went to the Twin Falls Temple open house, ate good food, swam, slid, dived, climbed, and partied it up. Thanks to all who worked so hard.
