New School Year

Here we are at school already! Kimrie is in 4h grade, and has Mrs Ramirez, who loves science, and Kimrie will be dissecting a frog. Mallory is in 1st grade and has Mrs. Sparkman, who seems like the perfect 1st grade teacher.
In Mallory's picture she is sitting at her desk, waiting for school to start. She took her school supplies in and out of her desk 15 times. It was precious.

where to begin?

I really didn't think I had anything to post until I looked through my camera. So here goes: We were able to take a tour of the Olympic training center in Colorado Springs. Jim had finished some work for them for class credit, anyway we got an extra special tour. The one thing they asked is no flash photography around the athletes. Of coarse, everytime I took a picture, the flash went off. That was really great when it happened at the shooting competition. Jim was humiliated to be seen with me.

nothing really

I haven't posted for awhile, so I found some fun pictures to put up for the hay of it. First is a pic of my niece Annika with my dad, uncle Jex, and Mouse the horse. Next is Abbey as a baby. I just loved that pic. I'm sure I'll be posting more random photos later. School starts Wednesday, can't believe it. Oh and I forgot to mention that Kimrie's broken arm was a result of "horsing around" I'm sure Kjaersten knows what I mean!!

Latest fashion accessory

Kimrie being the trendsetter that she is, has started the latest back to school fashion trend. A Cast!! Last night Kimrie fell backwards while playing, and broke her wrist and her arm! She was in a lot of pain, but within a few hours at the ER she was feeling alot better. Anyway, the doctor had to reset her arm, (which was truly hard to watch,) then he put a cast on it, that was curved forward to compensate for the backwards break. It is a wierd looking cast up towards her hand because it is all pressed in and shaped. She is hanging in there well, and diligently ices it every 2 hours or so just like to doctor said.
Jim felt so bad for her, he told her that she could pick what we did today. She picked seeing the movie UNDERDOG! Ugh! It was so stupid, I am "more dumber" for seeing it.
