School Year 2010-2011

Well, here they are my kids, headed out into the lone and dreary world. Don't they look sad?! Hunter is NOT in school, he's just 2, but you know how they are, they have to be dressed, have their own backpack, and their own snacks, and make them "feel" like they are doing something special, too!


This is the traditional posed photo, and this is usually how it goes...





Me: "Kids time to leave, oh, wait, someone get the camera"

Them: "Mom, we're gonna be late!"

Me: "C'mon, it won't take but a second"

Them: "Grumble, grumble, grumble"

Me: "okay, now everyone stand together and act like you like each other"

6 pictures later.....

Them: "Are we done?!"



Now you know why I don't post many photos!

They all have survived the first 3 days and have loved it...I am still playing catchup from all the summer projects. My folks are coming in town for a few weeks, so I'm super excited. I will post pics of our projects!

Days of Summer

Well the time has come and the kids go back to school tomorrow! This has been a wonderful summer break, but I am looking forward to the schedule and routine that the school year brings! A few thing will be different this year...

Aubrey will be driving. She is in 11 th grade and besides her core classes she has medical terminology, medical anatomy, sports medicine and seminary.

Ashton will be in 8th at a new school and has theater and guitar. He also has a new haircut which makes Rick and my gma very happy!

Carter will be in 4th. He is excited about everything!

Parker will be in 1st and he loves school and his teacher is a great lady, however this year he will eat lunch at school and he is a picky eater and I worry that he will starve. He is more of a grazer when he eats so only eating once a day might be hard for him.

I thought I was going to have so much free time with just Hunter and me at home, but I was just called to serve as 2nd counselor in the Relief Society and will be over homemaking and humanitarian. We will have weekly mtgs and this week is training with the stake, so looks like that free time is now the Lords time :).

Tonight we have our annual family counsel about the school routine and the kids will each a get a fathers priesthood blessing...THEN I will be ready for them to go off into the world!
