Happy *89th* Birthday!

There has been a little debate around the Haws household for quite some time about how old Grandpa is... Grandma is and has been just sure that Grandpa was turning 90.. but Grandpa over and over again says *89*.. I don't know if I will ever know who's right but I decided to side with Grandpa bc after all it's his Birthday day.. Happy Birthday Grandpa!

Bear Lake

I know it seems impossible, but I always wish I took more pictures. It's true.. I like to have way too many pictures for my own good. We went to Bear Lake with the Watson Family. We had too much fun with lots of swimming..
Local festival.. Tomahawk throwing.. score..
fish catching fun..
Feeding the fish everyday..
There were lots of things I didn't get pictures of.. way too much zombie playing..beautiful views.. old friends.. raspberry shakes.. bike rides.. Grandma and Grandpa.. the beach.. and the row boat. Good times..

Back to School

Every year I have a love/hate relationship with Back to School. About the middle of August we are definitely ready for something.. yep...ready for more structure. I'm not sure if I was ready for sending my kids back into the big bad world of grade school! Definitely NOT ready for my big kids to be gone all day long. Sniff! I know I wasn't ready for early mornings.. more reading.. . homework.. spelling tests... and PIANO! BOO! The first couple of weeks were a little rough for this mom.. now that we are starting to get into a good routine I am starting to adjust. Still miss them.. but winter break is right around the corner. :)
First day of school pictures. I can hardly believe how much these boys have grown since last year..Our big 3rd GraderAll Day school.. 1st grade and loving it!This one too..Our Jacq loves*loves*loves her PreK school.. Dancing.. Karate.. and singing.
Had to have the Twinkle toe shoes!
Choose the Right .. Love your Mom!
