Labor Day Hiking

I forgot the hiking pictures. These are the type of trails that Jason and I have been running on weekends too. Lots of obstacles. But the kids walked 4 miles and did great. The first mile is all up hill and climbs about 650 feet.

Labor Day Weekend

It was a packed weekend! We stayed local and explored! We went to a civil war battle re-enactment (I didn't get pictures of that though), the zoo, hiking and explored the Huntsville Botanical Gardens. A great family weekend. I'm just going to post a bunch of pictures from  the weekend with no regard order. if you want to know specifics on a picture just ask and I'll give details.

first day of school

Alabama...The kids are back in school here and it is Adam's first day of kindergarten and yes I made my kids ride the bus the first day of school. We make it a clean break here at our home. No walking them in, or even dropping them off with one last goodbye at the door, no sirree. Here at the Guffey house we do things the old fashioned way. Or at least the way that is less driving for mom's big white van. They were pretty excited to ride the bus though and after her first day when we asked Lydia what she thought of riding the bus her response was "it's Awesome!!!!!" complete with a little happy dance.

   This is Jonas posting. I have a new love for paper folding. I think I got it from my mom. She folds diapers, which are made from paper! Anyway, what you are about to see, is not only awesome, but my collection.
