Back to the Blog

Gavin has joined a scout troop in Provo, it is troop 999. Summer camp started this past Saturday. Matt being the awesome father that he is, volunteered to drive some of the boys up to camp. I am not sure exactly where it is but I believe that it is somewhere near the Uintas. I have to admit that I have been a little nervous letting him go but I know he will have a ton of fun.

I wonder what Gavin is thinking in this picture?
Does Matt appear to be oozing stress?
Jade is starting to want to be all grown up. She wants to stay up late with the older kids, watch the same movies as them, and do her own hair. Lilli is just trying to keep up with her. So this morning I heard the two of them in there bathroom arguing over who's turn it was for the brush, and who was going to go and get the piggy's. I hope that these two will always be the best of friends.
Jade gets a little stressed while doing her hair, she asked Lilli if she could leave because she was being to noisy.
I imagine that the future also holds a few fights as well. I am just happy that they want to do there own hair, because I had to force McKinley to do her own hair when she was 12 years old.

I don't have a clue when you really should make them start doing thier own hair is!! I had to learn very quickly at the age of 9......I think I am just now getting the hang of it:)

My poor kids, I would probly help them do thier hair forever because of my childhood experience.

Your girls are cute!
