The water slide

Here is the water slide video. Raygn goes first, then Porter, and last is Shane Van Tassell....yes the kids have tried to stand up and go down the slide already!

Aleigha's first big girl swing

O.k. so here is the video I wanted to put on but put a picture instead.-Thanks barbara

Raygn's 4 reasons why he is excited to start school!

1. He can pickup rocks on the way home(walking down the lane.)
2. He gets to sit with Kyler on the bus.
3. He gets to go to recess.
4. He gets to play with Kyler every day.
I was riding my bike and when I got home I asked Raygn if he wanted to walk to the mailbox with me, on the way there he told me he was excited for school to start but only for 4 reasons! I thought that was so cute.

Walker came to Idaho


o.k. he really came to see grandpa and we were going to get a day in also but football and soccer started and something about being there for tryouts and uniforms got in the way. We do love our cousins.

The water slide...Hidden Valley style!



The kids love to flood the sandbox, now they found a new way to do it...down the slide.

Summer Days!







I guess we did have a few hours of just playing in the backyard this summer. I am both sad and excited to have school start on Wednesday. This summer has gone by so fast. I'm not sure if you can tell but all 3 kids love to swing with Aleigha, go down the slide, or just play in the sand with her. What good kids we have!

Van Tassell Reunion


I really wanted to have a Van Tassell reunion-we haven't had one for...20yrs or something. So I planned one! We went to Murry park in Utah. It was a lot of fun. I got to see cousins I haven't seen for years. Then the next day my dad's family went to seven peaks. We were all there but Don. (he was in Iowa for his in-laws 50 wedding anniv.) Thanks to everyone that came. Next year Aunt Pat said she was planning one! Hope to see EVERYONE then.
