Jenny came! She came to surprise my mom for her birthday. It was such a surprise and so much fun! We missed seeing her out here and only wish her kids weren't in school and could've come too. The next day...
Dani and Blair came! We had been waiting for this for, of course, two years. It was great to see Blair again and he's just as sweet as ever. The boys loved him because he's so athletic and would get up at 5:15 AM and go play basketball with Dad and them at the church. We just loved how cute he is with Dani and that he's such a good guy.
We all went to eat at Shae's Place one night for Mom's birthday and had a fun time talking and laughing.
We lucked out and got to have Sam visit during this same week only 2 weeks after she'd moved to Utah. We miss her, but know she'll settle in soon to her life out west. We're looking forward to Christmas when we'll get to see her again.
Just a cute quick pic of Niki, Dani and Blair before their food arrived. There were so many other happenings... 
Sabrina sang her Tom Sawyer song for some sweet entertainment at Jameson Days...
The girls "scored" when they beat the boys to the court after mutual one night...
Aubrey and Annie Nelson got to hang out all day and then sleep over and watch movies 'til late...
And Mike decided it was time to get this floor signed, sealed and finished. He got sick of standing, and figured if he was going to do it he might as well relax and enjoy it.
One day we went to Jamesport, got rained on (check out the drops on Blair's shirt), drove to Trenton waterpark to swim (it was closed), ate some terrible McD's, and drove back to Gallatin. What a fun day!
That same weekend Elena, Mom and Sterling all had their birthdays. We had a fun party for them on Sunday. Here's Elena, all 14 and grown up.
Saturday night we had a Northern units dance for the youth at our church building. Dani, Blair and Jenny came as extra chaperones. Of course, Dani was her shy, introverted self and even won 2nd place dancing disco with one of the priests in the Cameron ward.
Doesn't Jadey look sweet dancing with her Daddy?
Doesn't Sheri look sweet dancing with her--who is that?
And school begin? Mac isn't sad at all--he loves his Pre-K teacher, Ms. Critten.
Sheri and Niki of course look adorable for their first day back.
Today was the first day back at school--cute...
And crazy! My life (and the kids) is more hectic when school is in and we miss the lazy days of summer, but we're excited for the upcoming holidays and, of course, all the sports events.
Jade would be very upset if I just put in those two previous pics of her with her eyes closed, so here's one of Brina and Jade, sweet and with open eyes. We have a 2 1/2 week lull until Mom and Dad Steele come on September 15th for 2 weeks. We're so excited they are coming and hope to get the floor finished before they get here. How will we do that with all this traffic? Keep blogging--we love your words of wisdom and your fun pics!!
