We have had a fun summer of fishing, swimming, hiking, traveling and you name it. It is hard to believe that we are down to less than a month until my little girl starts school. I guess she is not such a little girl anymore. She is such a good climber, biker, reader, teaser, hiker, scrapbooker, helper, gymnast, and I could go on and on. I can now also add swimmer to the list. I am so proud of her. She loves to go to the pool, but hates to get her head wet. This last week in swimming lessons, the light turned on. She's now such a good little swimmer and she loves it! She even wants to swim with her head under the water when we are at the lake. It is so fun watching them learn, grow, and succeed. She is really excited to start school, and I am too. I know that I am going to be so lonely without her. She has been at my side almost constantly for the past whats almost 6 years now. I love her so much and am so grateful that my life is blessed by her being in it!
(She couldn't decide which video to post and really wanted them both, so here they are.)
The day has come when for my little Camden to start school. Her first day was August 31st. It was only half day for the first week, and then full day after that. She absolutely loves it! She makes new friends every day and is having a lot of fun. She was so excited for it to start. She had been counting down the days. What a sweet kid. I sure am going to miss having her around all of the time. 
Camden and Kota saying good bye on the first day. Kota was excited to be the big girl around the house. She has changed a lot since then too. She sure misses her sister though. At least a couple times a week she asks if we can go get Camden now and we hadn't even had lunch. They sure are good sisters. 
Camden walking into school. They doubled the size of the building this summer and made it really nice. There are only preschoolers and kindergartners in her school.

Sitting down to color her first picture at school. Right after that she asked, "why are you taking so many pictures." I think that she was ready for us to go and to be on her own. Boy it was hard letting her go. I am sure glad that Darrick was there on her first day so that when I needed to take a time out and control my emotions, he could keep things moving. I wish that I could say that her first day was the worst, but boy I have sure missed her. I am glad that I still have my other two sweet little girls around to keep me company.
They were married in the Seattle Temple. I flew up for that, which was an adventure in and of itself. Thank you girls and Darrick for letting me go up and for everything being in such good shape when I returned. It was really fun to see them and to be around family. It was a little strange not having 3 constant sidekicks, but it was a lot of fun and relaxing.
The next weekend they were having a reception in Rexburg. The girls were so sad that they didn't get to go to the wedding and meet Dana, so we decided to head up to the reception. It was so much fun and they just love Dana. They are constantly making her cards and other fun things. Some of the other cousins were there so it was fun to play with all of them. It was so nice of Dana to let the girls try on her tiara. They were so excited and still talk about that. Of course they were in dress up to add to the occasion.
It was so great to see a lot of friends and family that we hadn't seen in a while as well. My grandpa and grandma were able to make it up for the reception. My grandma hasn't been doing that great so it was really neat to see her there. Oaks was pretty beat, but we made it through the night and had a great time.
Camden named it "Stillist" because it sat so still while it was waiting to take flight.
