FINALLY........PICTURES!

SOOOOOO, here I am again! Did you miss me? Here is a little
update on part of our summer.
Logan improved her handwriting in school by the end of 1st grade,
so we said she could go to seven peaks. She worked really hard the
whole last semester to improve her grade to the highest level. We
were so proud! Me and Logan had a great time, but got a little fried!
This was toward the end of June.



Here we are at Payson Lakes on the 4th of July

we had a fun surprise visit from Kathryn (my sis)



Sometime around the end of July, we had a little family
campout up Payson Canyon! It's so beautiful up there.
I always forget how cold it gets there, even in the middle
of the summer! We had a fun time anyway!




Celebrating James' 34th birthday on August 2. His parents
came down to our house and joined us for dinner and cake
and ice cream! He got a new dutch oven, some clothes, and
a gift card to Cabela's! Another great day!


The week before school started, we made a quick trip to
California to mom and dad's for our FIRST HEATON
FAMILY REUNION!! Here we are at the sacramento
railroad museum! Very fun, and educational. Kids loved
it too!



We stayed at mom and dad's for 4 days and stayed two nights
at Bodega Bay in a fun beach house. Here we are at the beach
and there is also a picture of our house! There were crafts, games,
pictures, shopping, playing at the beach, and lots of fun family
bonding!! I hope we can continue our HEATON family reunions
very often in the future!






We decided to take a quick day trip down to S.F. since we were
so close. It was fun to walk around the pier and see the sea lions
and do a little shopping. Most of all, the chocolate heaven store was
my favorite!! I paid $5 for a giant chocolate turtle. No calories
when you are on vacation right?!! Fun times!!


AND here we have our big 2ND GRADER!!! This
was the first day of school!! She was so excited, and is
loving school so far. She has a great teacher and is making
lots of new friends. We are proud of her for doing so
well!


When I can get James to help me find the rest of my summer
pics, I'll be updating again soon!! I didn't realize how much I
missed blogging!

Well, I certainly realized how much I missed your blogging! You guys did a lot this summer and it all looks so fun! Thank you for sharing all your pictures. And try to remember how much you miss blogging when you don't do it.

Logan's hair is so cute short! And you James look great! What is that tube thing in the first pic? I have never seen that before?

Amy and David said...

Wow, great times and pictures. I can't believe how much Logan looks like you. Incredible! I wish we could all get together and actually see each other and our kids--maybe someday...

Holly said...

Glad you are back on....and yes, I did miss you! Thanks for all your sweet comments you left on my blog. The next day after I did that post, I felt a little silly at how depressing it sounded. But it is great to know that I have your support and lots of other friends and family too. Thanks for always being so sweet and such a good friend. I really appreciate it!

What a great summer! I love that you guys were at Bodega Bay -- I used to vacation there too, and I recognized the Sac. town train museum. It is so awesome that you guys were there! You and your sister are beautiful together, and Logan is getting so grown up. She's darling on her first day (eek...of 2nd grade!) I love the pics!
