Pizza! Pizza!

Today was the day for all September birthdays. For all of you that are farmiliar with Flying Pie's "It's your day", It was Henry's chance to take advantage today. He got to wear this cute apron and had to pick a hat. He was not sure at first but had a blast by the time it was over. He threw the pizza and helped put cheese on it and pepperoni in the shape of a smiley face. Here are his pics:

Avery's first day of Kindergarten

It is with great sorrow and joy that I announce Avery had his first day of Kindergarten today. He has been eagerly anticipating this day for a few weeks and he had a great time. I failed to tell the teacher that I would pick him up from school today so I had to catch her from puting him on the bus. When I got there he looked at me and said , "Sorry Mom, I am riding the bus home." What could I say? I let him ride the bus home and he was beaming a huge grin as he got off. My baby doesn't seem like a baby all of the sudden. He made a huge step toward independence today and I could not help but shed a few tears.

Waiting for the bell to ring.

Starting to make some new friends already.

Getting off the bus right in front of our house. His bus drivers name is Chuck.

Update on Grandma Kuntz

Thank you thank you to all of you for praying for my Grandma. After a 7 hour surgery, a small stroke, a case of pancreaitis, two blood clots, and a fall, my Grandma finally gets to go home today. She is doing well and my Grandpa said she had a huge smile on her face the whole way home. She still has some recovery ahead of her but we expect her to be back in full strength soon. Please continue to keep her in your thoughts and prayers. She is staying at my Mom's house now and I have had a lot of people ask where to send cards so below is the address. Thank you again. Love to all!

Prayer Request

This goes out to all of my prayer warriors out there. My Grandma Kuntz is going to have a major surgery done next Wednesday July 29th. She has to have two valves replaced, she has an artery that is 80% blocked, and she has an aneurysm that has a very thin wall. The surgery has a pretty good success rate, but it will be five plus hours long and the recovery with take a lot of time. Please just pray that God will give the Doctors all the knowledge and wisdom they need to make her surgery successful. And pray that the Lord will be with each and every family member as they wait with Grandpa. And pray he will give Grandma will have strength to recover.

My Urban Cowboy

Henry is my child that is a little bit more particular about what he wears. He gets really into particular t-shirts or hats or for this blog post, his cowboy outfit. We went to a rodeo in Eagle in June and he was so excited to wear all of this stuff. The outfit really is hideous because the pants are way too small and the shirt was so small we just had to find a t-shirt that matched the best. We went to another rodeo on Friday night and we were just about to get out the door and he looked at Jaime and I and said,"Oh! I got to go get my cowboy outfit on." So I dug the pants out of the box for him to wear them one last time. Here he is, our little urban cowboy.

White Water Rafting

Our gracious new neighbors are part owners in Cascade Raft and Kayac (the best rafting company in the world). They have two boys just like us and had been trying to set up a time for us to take the kids out on a raft trip. I was a little skeptical at first but thought well, he has been doing this for a long time so he must know what he is talking about. When we got there it turned out that we actually had nine little children on the raft with us four adults. Again I was a little skeptical, but it turned out to be so much fun. They had little wet suits for all of the kids and he told them when they could jump out of the boat and swim and when they had to hang on. Over all it was an awesome first experience for our kids and they can't wait to go again.

Avery is hanging on to the rope with his buddy Kyler (he is the toe head that is further back). And Henry is sitting right next to Kevin.

Uncle Beavis

For all of you that already know Uncle Beavis, as you know, this is not out of the ordinary. For those of you who don't know Uncle Beavis, meet Uncle Beavis. In a nutshell this pretty much describes his personality. There is never a dull moment when he comes around. We love you Uncle Beavis for being You.
