The Russell Clan: August 2009

Ok! I have to do some major catching up! So I have posted a whole bunch of pictures from July 4th, our vacation from Colorado and the kids B-day and 1st day of school. You will probably have to scroll down a bit. LOL!

Another year has begun! My kids have been so ready for the school year to begin and I have to say so have I. I am so excited for my kids! I am so proud of these two girls. They always do so awesome in school!

My beautiful 4th grader! Yes, can you believe that I have a 4th grader!

My gorgeous 2nd grader!

Here are some pics from Brigs's and Li vy's Birthday parties. Livy turned 1 and Brigs turned 2! Can't believe that my little babies are so big. I love them so much! They keep me constantly busy, but I enjoy every minute.

Ok so I wasn't being a good parent and keeping an eye on my daughter so she wouldn't put her hand on the lit candle. So unfortunately this is Livy's one year old picture that we will be able to remember! Way to go mom!

Brigs opening his many gifts! The kids scored big time! We won't have to do Christmas!

Livy and Anslea are really into it! LOL

Friends and cousins hitting the Cars pinata!

We went to Manassa, CO for the Pioneers days in July! It was absolutely gorgeous there! Totally somewhere where Trav and I could live, minus the cold winters! They had a parade in the morning, a rodeo in the afternoon and a carnival at night and a durby, that was really fun. We had a great time. We also got to go and show the kids where my mom was buried and it was really nice and peaceful there. We definitely want to go back next year.

Picture of the girls by my moms grave!

I love this picture of my Livy!

My two favorite men in my life!

Livy loved to eat the dirt while we were up there!

Livy taking it easy on a picnic we took up in the mountains.

Brigs and Issy!

For July 4th we went over to our good friends house Lafe and Bea and had a cook out and let off some serious fireworks! We had a blast, literally! The kids had a great time and it was fun to see the kids react to the fireworks, even though we almost burned the neighbors house down a couple of times it was a lot of fun!
