First week of school!

This week was full of first.
First day of Middle School!!!
First day of 2nd grade!!!
First day of Kindergaten!!!
First day of putting any of my children on the bus to school!!

We mad eit though them all.
Savannah is LOVING middle school, her flute, and riding the bus with friends.
Autumn LOVES her teacher and just being at school again.
Liam was so ready for school that he kicked me out of the room so he could get on with his learning. He had a great day! Now to find myself something to do.

Riding a bike

Liam learned to ride his bike this week. He was so proud. When he got home he asked for the training wheels to be put back on. But he later decided to store them for the new baby.














I thought I could find pictures of Autumn and Savannah learning to ride as well. So the second picture is Autumn. I think Savannah is before the digital era.

Primary Temple Trip

I little while ago our primary went to the Seattle Temple. The kids had a great time. The day was hot. I hope they could feel the spirit. I'm looking forward to taking the kids on Tuesday to the Twin falls Temple open house.

Girls Camp

This year I was the Stake Hiking specialist for girls camp. It was fun. Our 1st and 2nd year hikes may have been a little short, but we had fun route finding and visiting.

This is my 4th year over night group.
myself, two leaders and 27 girls. We did a small hike to a lake and then canoed to an Island for the night. Try docking 10 canoes at the same time. great fun. On the island I made dutch oven pizza which turn out great. (took to long but girls were fine waiting.) Next I had a treasure hunt with activities along the way. Like drinking slime and eating candy cockroches, a puzzle and an ostacle coruces.
They even talked me into sleeping under the stars. We stayed up too late. Got up at 6am and canoed back. I feel very blessed that anything fell into place. Man it's good to be home. Now I must get ready for our Utah trip.

Summer at last!

We the sun has come out, and we are loving our new pool. It's still a bit cold, but each day the kids stay in a little longer. By the end of summer they won't get out.

Cinco De Diaz

Today is our Perkins Family Cinco de mayo fiesta. Here is our family pinta. (Sambrero if you can't tell.)

Lights and Tile

We got all the lights in this week. It looks great. I spent all week trying to decided on tile. I went with the Slate, which was my first choose. I hope it looks good.
