Silverwood

Labor Day weekend our family took a trip to Silverwood for the first time.  We started off in the theme park and rode a few rides.  We ate some lunch, got changed, and went to the water park.  First off we went in to the lazy river to get used to the unusually cold water. Next we tried out the wave pool, and then went to the Avalanche Mountains.  That was one of the scariest water slides I have ever been on in my life.  We went on a couple different water slides and went back in to the water park.  We grabbed some ice cream, went a ride, and at 8:15 p.m. we drove back to our hotel.

First Day of School

On Tuesday, August 27th, 2013 Shelby and I walked to school on our first day.  This is Shelby's first year of public school and so far she loves it.  I was very fortunate this year to get all the classes that I wanted to get and I love all of my teachers and my classes.  I am nervous for high school next year though, so I am trying to keep my focus on 8th grade.

Shelby is sporting an adorable pink, green, and white top with some cute teal jeans, and a pair of black Airwalk sneakers.  So CUTE!!!!!!!!  What a great way to start her sixth grade year!!!!

I am rocking a gray and pink top with some dark denim jeans, and a pair of blue and purple zebra stripe Vans.  ADORABLE!!!!  I am ready to tackle eighth grade!!!

Shelby and I are so ready to take on middle school!!!!

Wild Waves

Last Wednesday Shelby and I went to Wild Waves with our youth group.  I went with my friends Larson and Clayton and Shelby went with her friend Grace.  We had tons of fun going down the slides, hanging out in the wave pool, and being lazy in the lazy river. It was a very fun and exciting day that everyone enjoyed!!!!!

Here is Shelby and I enjoying our Dippin' Dots!!!!

Hey everyone!!!!  I am going to be taking over the blog from my mom.  I am super excited to share some of our lives with you.  My first blog is going to be about our trip to Moses Lake with our grandparents. 

 Isn't Shelby just totally adorable in front of the beautiful scenery????

The metal horses were so cool.  We got to walk up there and touch them!!

What do you think of this picture of me?  I really enjoyed the scenery behind me!!!

Growing up in the Grange

Well, to say it has been a while is a little crazy, so I won't say it. I just wanted to post the family Christmas picture and promise more info to come later. I hope everyone is doing well...our life is crazy but so much fun!

Fair Trip

We went to the Central Washington State Fair a couple of weeks ago. There were rides, games, exhibits and tons of food. We go on the first day of the fair every year and get the bracelets for unlimited rides.

This year I tried out the Drop Zone. Where you go up really slow, then when you get to the top you DROP! It was fun and a little scary.

We tried something new this year called Bubble Bay. You get into a big bubble (ball), they fill it up with air, and then you roll around in the water. I was attempting to stand up the whole time. Shelby just rolled around. Mom said we looked like hamsters.

They have a huge slide at the fair. Dad, Shelby and I raced down the slide. It was so much fun. We went on it about ten times.

Our Camping Trip

This is a picture of Lake Easton during our camping trip in September. We had a wonderful time and it was very peaceful, relaxing and a much needed fun break.

This is a picture that Lexi took on our hike around the lake. It shows how late our camping trip was this year.

This was a beautiful island that the sun was shining on and reminded us of how peaceful camping can be.

The clan with their walking sticks. Dad's is a little big, but we thought it looked good with his outfit.
