This year Kyla and Hunter have moved into their new home and are attending Mesa with them, what fun to have cousins to see at school. Kiss summer good bye, it's time to hit the books again!!!!

Babysitting

This summer we have started leaving the kids to babysit on their own. Let's just say it has been heaven!!! At first I would just go ride the swather or tractor with Garrett for a few hours, or run to the church for a quick meeting. In July Madalyn said that she was ready for us to go to town for a short date. So we took her up on that offer and we went to dinner and to walmart. Since then we have been able to leave them for about 4 hours at a time. It has been so nice not to have to find a babysitter and pay them. The small things make me so happy. After 10 years of paying a babysitter we finally have a child old enough to do it on their own. Oh Happy Day!
