Homecoming

Tonight was Hunter's last Homecoming, and Brinley's first. They went separately, but both had a good time.



Hunter, his girlfriend Morgan, and their friend Gretchen did their photos at Scentsy followed by dinner at the Matador, and then came to our house after the dance for s'mores around the firepit.








Brinley and her best friend Mia went together. They also did photos at Scentsy, then went to the dance, followed by dinner at Chik-fil-A. 



Strongman

This weekend Tristan traveled over to Dublin, to compete in a Strongman competition. He placed 5th in his division, and really enjoyed his time both at the competition and exploring the city.




Young Women's Campout

Last night we had an opportunity to go on an overnight backpacking campout with the Young Women. We had 6 girls and 5 adults, and we decided on hiking into Duck Lake, which only took about an hour. It was really beautiful, and the girls had so much fun setting up their tents and catching frogs once it was dark.




The next morning we had breakfast and enjoyed some time exploring and fishing before we headed back down the mountain. We finished off our adventure with lunch in McCall, and the girls all had a wonderful time!





Happy Birthday!

This year we celebrated Cahl's 43rd birthday by spending the night at the fair. We took Hunter and Brinley and several of their friends, along with Cahl's mom, and spent a few hours checking out the exhibits and booths, and playing games while the kids rode all the rides. After dinner, the adults headed home (but not until after Cahl finally won a GIANT cookie monster!!) and the kids stayed to play some more. We all had a great time, and hope Cahl had a great birthday!




Back to School

It is once again the first day of school! It's hard to believe that Hunter is already a Senior, but today he started his last year at Renaissance High School.



It's even harder to believe that Brinley is a high schooler as well! Today she started her Freshman year at Renaissance High School. 


I'm thankful that these 2 will get one year together, and especially that Hunter and his friends take such good care of Brinley, and watch out for her. They've been super helpful in getting her comfortable with going to high school.
