~3rd Grade here she comes.
Aren't they just CUTE!!!They were so excited for school to start that day that they were up at 5:30a.m. Yes, they are crazy. When I had walked out my door at 5:30 in the morning they both were sitting on there beds, mind you that they were already made, dressed and ready for school. They were sad that they still had 2 hours before school actually started!!

Ok! If you ever get the chance to head up north stop by "Bear World" We paid an extra $20 to do the Curator's Tour. When you do this you get to ride in this big truck to feed the Elk and Bears. It is so much fun. Of course if you travel with a Pickett you can count on it raining or should I say a down pour. Yes, it was overcast but not raining at all until the Pickett Family decided to get in a big truck and do something fun. While feeding the animals it rained BAD but as soon as it was over(45min later) it stopped. Anyways, the kids had so much fun doing this. The bears would sit up and clap their hands for food. The guide would start saying "Time to get up Bears" and they would crawl out from all over. The funniest was to watch the bear cubs chase each other and see who can get there first. It was great to do together as a family!

~ThE PetTinG ZoO ~

The Petting Zoo @ Bear World was fun. The kids were able to pet the deer, goats, funny looking chickens, but their favorite was the Potbelly Pig. It made the weirdest grunting noises. There was also big Moose. As you can see in the picture that it was laying right next to the Fence. Shawn walked right up and stood next to the fence and the Moose could care less. It was fun!!\

Idaho Falls Temple

Shawn and I decided last minute to take a short family vacation over the 24th of July. We went up to Idaho Falls and Rexburg. We have heard many things about "The Falls" that run by the temple. It was absolutely beautiful. The kids loved just sitting next to the river listening and watching the falls. We did a little Geocaching around the area but mostly walked up and down the falls to see everything. I suggest that if you ever drive through Idaho Falls, stop, it's right next to the freeway and is beautiful.

Swimming at Willard Bay

The kids and I meet my parents at Willard Bay to go swimming and sailing. It was a beautiful day. We spent about an hour sailing around the an hour alone just swimming around in the water. The kids are fish when they are in the water. We loved driving down and meeting them. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Willis

Together for Eternity

August 8,2009 ~ It was a cold, raining morning in Logan Utah. The Pickett household was calm and quiet until a knock came on our bedroom door. When I opened the door there was two beautiful children standing there with HUGE smiles on their faces. I was still groggy, not quite awake and all they wanted to tell me was "Today We Are A Family For Eternity". It brought tears to my eyes when I finally had realized that this day had come for our family. Through tragedy, trials, but most importantly through Prayer and Faith we kneeled at an alter, tears in our eyes, smiles on our faces, we were sealed for Eternity. The room filled with many family members and friends to experience this with us even made it that much better. The kids will never forget this day and are true "Angels". Thanks to all of you for your support and love. We love you all!!
