Labor Day Campout

 The kids were so excited for the Clark family campout! They always have so much fun with their cousins.

We ate delicious food, played fun games, and visited around the fire. 

Grandma took some super fun pictures of the grandkids on the tramp!!

I love this one!!

The Call's brought Hitster and we had a great time playing that. 

We played again in the morning before we left. We really enjoyed that game.

Thanks for a fun Labor Day Campout Grandma and Gramps!!!

UIAAA Invitational & Timpvite

 Rockwell had a cross country meet in Spanish Fork.

They tried a new strategy to have the varsity team run together the whole time. It didn’t work great and I don’t think they will do that again. 

Rockwell finished in 17.20.26 (133rd place, 5th on the team).

Emilie and Matt came to watch him run. They always come to the races in Spanish Fork, and I always forget to get a picture. I remembered this time though! Yay!

Their next meet was the Timpanogos Invitational.

Rockwell looked really strong every time I saw him pass.

He had a great race and set a new PR!!

He finished in 16:30.7 (90th place, 2nd on the team)

Rockwell was really excited about his race. He felt great and was so happy to get a new PR.

Everyday Adventures

 Rockwell mowed a few lawns for his job this summer. 

Kathy Fullmer made quilts for each of us kids and Dad out of my mom’s clothes. Al helped cut the squares of clothes and organized it all with Kathy. I love how they turned out! We have so many memories of my mom in each of these shirts or dresses, and it’s fun to recall the memories every time I see the quilt.

Damon enjoyed welcoming the new kindergarteners to school on their first day. The student council spent a few hours helping the kindergarteners learn how to eat lunch at school and playing with them at recess and in their classrooms. He said it was his best day ever!!! 

Paul and I went to dinner and Whose Live Anyway with Katie and Ben. It was a really fun night! We enjoyed visiting during dinner and laughed so hard during the show. It was a fun date night!

Squishies are a huge trend right now. Swig was giving a free squishy with each 32oz soda bought one day. Tessa and Damon were so excited! We waited in line for about half an hour, but they were thrilled with their squishies and their sodas. :)

There have been a couple mornings where the kids have unintentionally dressed matchy. So cute!

The Ham Fam got together at Mel’s while Matt & Lori were here for a weekend.

My dad and I tried to solve the world’s prodems, but I don’t think we made too much progress. Haha!

Back To School

 Rockwell is in 11th grade

He's started wearing blue-light glasses. They look good on him!

This is how he felt about starting school. :)

Tessa is in 8th grade

This is how she felt about starting school. :) They both loved summer! 

They both leave before Damon wakes up. It's looking like 9th grade will move up to the high school next year, and they are excited about having a year together in the same school.

Damon is in 6th grade

Damon was super excited to start school! He's on Student Council this year, and he came home from his first meeting absolutely pumped to get back to school. He loved helping at Back to School Night. He has loved having Ms Jensen for a teacher and loves seeing all his friends every day. His friend Cody is the mascot this year. :)

It's always an adjustment to get used to early mornings, classes, and homework. They're feeling tired, but hopefully will get used to the schedule quickly and will have a good year!

Tessa was making us laugh during the photo shoot. :)
