1st Grade Chapel

Here is Justin's 1st Grade class performing "America the Beautiful" at chapel (Canaan, Marshall, Sage, Emma & Justin).

Alexa's 9th Birthday!

Alexa actually decorated this cake herself!! We got the mold for the cake (skirt) and the doll top in a set at Michael's and Alexa chose some fun icings and decorations.

For Alexa's party we went to Build-A-Bear with all the girls from her class; here are Audrey, Hope, Meagan, Anne, Elise, Clara, Justin & Alexa.

Here's Alexa with a store-bought birthday cake.

Halloween

We made some delicious sugar cookies this year that the kids decorated with lots of fun designs.

Alexa was a witch this year.

Justin was a Ninja.

Here's our star soccer player (#2) playing with his teammates on the yellow dragons!!

1st Day of School!

We have a new 4th grader & 1st grader in the house! Alexa picked this outfit out for her first day of school at Justice on our Reno shopping trip.

Justin, ready to try 1st grade! Emmy took Alexa back-to-school shopping and they picked this shirt out for him ;)

Alexa's class lost 2 students this year, but added a new student, so they are 7 girls, 7 boys. Here are Cole & Caleb and Alexa in front of Annabelle, Anne & Audrey (lots of "A"s!).

Justin is excited to have his good friend Marshall in his class this year-he had been homeschooled up until now. His class is 3 boys (Justin, Marshall & Canaan) and 2 girls (Emma & Sage).

Tahoe!

We headed up to Lake Tahoe this August for our annual family vacation. Doug sported a new do.

We had a great time swimming for hours in the pool, miniature golfing, rafting down the Trukee & shopping. Here are the twins-Grant & Reed, Katherine with Anders, Finn, Justin & Alexa.

The whole crew-even Katrina joined us!

Grandparents Camp

Grampa & Emmy invited Justin up to the Farm for a fun couple days with cousins Finn & Katherine this summer. Here they are playing with water guns outside.

The next day, they drove downtown to visit the Children's Museum. Justin can't wait to take Alexa!
