Ali's first day in the 5th grade

Ali started the Fifth grade this week.  I can't believe I have a daughter that old, but I do and we truly love and enjoy her.  She is a really good big sister and a beautiful daughter.  I hope she can stay this way.  

Simonson reunion

We love summer and boating.  We especially love Dworshak, a reservoir about 1 and 1/2 hours away from our house.  This year all of my siblings and parents decided they wanted to join in on the Dworshak fun.  So we turned it into a family reunion and all my family made the trek up north and we played for a week on the water!  Here are a ton of pictures of my family and all of the fun things we did.

After the fun on the water my Dad loves to go blackberry picking.  So we went and picked a ton of blackberries and then made a lot of jam out of them.
