Same shoe size?!

 Katie figured out that with the conversion of men's sizes to women's sizes, she and Kyle wear the same SHOE SIZE!  She couldn't resist having Kyle try on her high heel shoes!  He was game to try and even managed to walk without falling!
Looking good!

Heading back down the hall

Katie gets a new car!

Since Lance is driving now and we as parents don't like our teenagers to drive anything newer than 10 years old or so, it was time for Katie to relinquish the mini van and get a new car.  She's a senior in college now and it seemed like the right time for her.  She looked at different makes and models and also wanted a blue car.  This is a Toyota Camry 2014.
This was what she used to drive - it's going to be Lance's car now

We were able to find this vehicle in Gallup.  We're showing our hometown pride.

First day of school. Aug. 12, 2014

Lance is a sophomore

Kyle is a 7th grader

The bus stop is right in front of our house

The boys go to Rehoboth Christian School

Arriving home after the first day of school.  

This is what the kids do while they wait for the bus.

On Thursdays it's a late start day so the seminary students including Lance get on at our bus stop

Lance's birthday. He's 15!

Lance's birthday this year was the day before school started.  Luckily, they chose to start on a tuesday so Lance didn't have to go to school on his birthday but he did take advantage of the opportunity to get his driver's permit!
He got 8 new Frisbee's for one of his gifts
Susan brought a gift and we had some fun with her

Lance drove home from the MVD

Lance is 15!

Well we didn't have the right amount of candles so we got creative.  We had 8 regular candles and the #8 and a #0 so we pretended it was a 1 and subtracted it from the 8 to get 15 total!  Genius.

Lagoon on vacation!

 We went to Lagoon in North Salt Lake City area with our friends, the Christensen's while on vacation in Utah.

We wore our matching shirts

We got soaked on the Rattlesnake rapids





Lance is on that ride upside down!

Lance & Justyn get ready to go UP!

Here they go.  Then they get dropped.

Kyle spent some time in the water portion of Lagoon.

John went with Kyle to the water part.

These guys closed out the Rattlesnake rapids for the night going 12 times in a row!
