Thought I would show a picture of Courtney's new hair. I love it! Thanks to Jamie Gums the best stylist ever! And not sure if you can tell but Jamie also cut Katie's hair and it also looks so good. We love Jamie if you are looking for someone great to cut your hair you should give her a try 761-4648.
Also, just an update on our Olema camping trip/Jensen Family Reunion....it was fantastic. Probably the best camping trip I've had ever. We had lots of fun hanging out around the campfire, skits, playing Nertz, speed, Zarahemla, going to the beach, hiking and driving to fast! Lots of fun memories and can't wait for next years reunion.
Strauss Festival was fun. Ciara had lots of fun dancing with the Polka Troupe and they were great! Polka always steals the show. And looks like I am going to be directing next years show...it should be fun.
Ciara with her dance partner Devin Kirk (Sheryl Hodgson-Drapers son), Ciara with our good friends daughter Emma Cahoon & friend, Katie and Devin, and after the show Ciara, Katie & David.
Summer has been going by way to fast. I can't believe that the kids start school in a week. I am not ready! We have been shopping for school clothes for David and he looks great in his new clothes. He will be the best looking 7th grader at Smedberg. I will post pictures of the first day of school later. I am also headed back to Utah the end of the month. My father-in-law volunteered to take Katie and her cousin Rachel back to school and I am coming along. I will be helping both Courtney and Katie to move into their new apartment. They are going to be roommates this year. (Courtney and Katie decided to start a blog about this new adventure www.theroommateblog.blogspot.com) They are excited to be rooming together....lets hope that lasts.
Both girls will be in Noteworthy again this year...which I am very excited about and Courtney will be co-directing the group. Noteworthy will be competing again this year which means they may be headed back to New York......ahhhh, that would be so great but I am getting ahead of myself, but first they will be headed back to Marin to compete in semi-finals in March. I know this because they will make it to semi's of course. You should go check out Noteworthy's new blog at www.noteworthyladies.blogspot.com and then you can keep up with the groups happenings.
It is going to be very hard to have Katie gone again. I have loved having her home all summer and will miss her. I have gotten used to having her home again and her leaving will be like ripping a band-aid off. I am praying she will have a better year and will actually enjoy school this year. I love having grown children but hate that, that means they have to move out. I miss my kids when they are gone.
Okay, have lots to do today so I must end my rambling for today.
