Cujo Doodle...

the new favorite past time in the kearns house is seeing just how mad we can make the doodle... jason is the winner!! He discovered that gracie is NOT a fan of zerberts which of course means that he finds it necessary to wrestler with her and zerbert her belly whenever he can.
Ahhhh.... what a pretty smile!

5th grade....

It is hard for me to believe it was the 1st day of 5th grade...next year is middle school, YIKES! Since we couldn't take pictures this morning i made her pose for me tonight and just pretend she was getting ready to leave for school...however you'll notice the grass stain on the knee which i am sure wasn't there this morning!

I asked bailey last night if she was super excited for school to start & her answer was classic... "Yeah, i'm ready for it to start, just not tomorrow".... Apparently it dawned on her that she would have to be out of bed before 11am!

That reminds me of a funny story from one day this summer: jason was mowing the lawn about 10 o'clock one morning and kept looking in the windows checking for any signs of life (from bailey or gracie!) since bailey had a hair appointment at 11:30. Finally he went in about 10:30 to wake the little sleeping beauty (bailey...it was still way to early for the doodle to be out of bed) and in a beautifully crabby 10 year old voice she growled back to her dad "IS THAT YOU OUT THERE MOWING THE LAWN THIS EARLY"...

Anywho...enjoy bailey's first day of school!!

kearns camping....

We headed out this weekend with the Dunn's for our first camping trip of the summer and had a great time. We went to Owyhee Resevoir which we were told was the "Lake Powell" of our area. I don't know about that, but it was beautiful and offered fantastic water skiing! Of course i forgot the camera on the first day and missed some great shots of both jason & bailey skiing, the entire group - including the doodle swimming, and robbie dunn's Olympic Medal winning flip from the boat!!! I did however catch some fun shots on the boat this morning... a couple of them were so cute i just couldn't mix them in with all the others!! Gracie wore her life jacket like a champ and I of course couldn't pass on the opportunity to take her picture.
