New Pictures!! Yay!

Just a quick shout out to our awesome friend Dave Broberg for our new pictures! We love them. Thanks Dave!

Check back in a week or so...we are getting family pictures taken this Saturday!  Wish me luck, you can see from the back to school pics just how cooperative Jackson can be!

The First Day of School!

So, you can see by the pictures just how excited Jackson was to start school.  If anything gets in the way of his play he is not a happy camper!  He took off that morning and wouldn't let me walk him to school, while Abby on the other hand, who is in 6th grade insisted I walk her to her class.  I was completely lost that morning, my house was clean and way too quiet.  I sure enjoyed having them home this summer and was sad to see it end.  I kept wishing Abby was out in front with her sno cone stand and all the neighbor kids hanging out on the driveway.  I realized just how lonely I will be when all my kids are in school :(

Just because...

These are just some cute snapshots of the sweetest baby ever! (I am so in love with her!) and my crazy little Krew.

This is probably my favorite picture ever of her, I love her cute teeth!

She is usually so happy and smiles anytime you talk to her!  Such a sweetheart!

Krew has adopted Darren's old dirt bike helmet for his bike helmet and wears it ALL the time, I don't know how he can stand it! It looks so hot!

Bear Lake

We went to Bear Lake the first week in August (I know, it's taken me forever to update my blog!) and had a super fun time with our "Bear Lake family".  It was me, my mom and the kids that went.  So, here's just a few pics to show what a fun time we had!

Hill Family Reunion

Over the 24th of July we traveled up north to Idaho Falls for the Hill Family Reunion.  We went to Rigby Lake where as you can see the kids had a total blast.  On Saturday night was a family rodeo at my Dad's cousin's house.  We had so much fun seeing all our family and cousins (we all stayed in the same hotel).  Thanks to Grandma and Grandpa for all their help with the kids.  We had a great time!!  Looking forward to next year's party!

Can you believe he's actually eating something?!?!  Nothing like a good piece of watermelon!

Just a small part of the Joe Hill side of the fam

This is as far as Krew ventured into the water

All the kids had so much fun with the water toys

Check out that smile! You know Abby's in heaven

Oquirrh Mountain Temple Open House

Here's a few pictures of our visit to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple Open House.  Darren's sister, Tiffany and her family came with us.  It's beautiful, if you haven't been, I suggest you hurry!

I love this picture of Abby and Alyssa!  Cute cousins

Just the boys!  Austin, Krew, Jackson and Matthew

Krew

Alyssa, Abby and Makaela

Believe it or not, this was the best of the pictures we had taken as a family.  Jackson was being a total nerd and crying because he had sun in his eyes.  We have the worst luck with family pictures!
