Back to School

The First day of School is always an exciting time. All the kids were excited and a little nervous. Brogan is now in 1st grade, and has Mrs. Ferlic. He is adjusting to a full day of school, it is a little long for him and he is exhausted when he gets home. But he still comes home with a smile, which is a good thing.

Kaden came home and said that his day was AWESOME! So I'm assuming it went well. He has Mrs. Haskell as his teacher, and he gets to be in the new 3rd grade building. He is very excited that he gets his own locker this year.

Brock absolutely loved school. He loved everything about it. On Sunday, he cried because he couldn't go to school. He thinks he is all growed up, How sad. I had withdrawals the 1st day, I really missed him. I got over it pretty quick. I love that he enjoys school, but I also love when he comes home and we get some one on one time.
If you're wondering were Kyli is, she erased her picture. I have to get another one of her, then I will post it. She is loving Junior High. She gets her own locker, and loves her teachers. I'm proud of her for being so brave. She started Cross country, even though her friends didn't want to do it, she did it herself. And she is really enjoying running each day. She is up to 2 and 3/4 mile. Go Girl!


Summer Time Fun!

We've enjoyed a fun Summer. School is now back in session so unfortunately we have to get back to being tied down. I couldn't post all the pics, but here are a few of the activities of the Summer. This is the picture of us at the drive in. We went with our neighbors and we took our trailor bed. It was a little redneck, but it was great fun! :)
We also got a new cat this summer. After much debate, it was decided that her name was to be Pearl. She is a very good cat, and the kids are very much enjoying her.
Then the highlight of the Summer is always the family reunions. We had a great time at Mom and Dad's. We played volleyball, ate ice cream, had pie eating contest and enjoyed each others company. It was great.

The cousins all had fun husking corn together, to eat for dinner. They love helping in the Garden and they actually eat Grandma and Grandpa's veggies. I guess they taste better.
We also had a Jackson reunion, we got to spend time with the Jackson clan. We enjoyed swimming at Green Canyon and dinner at Chris and Debi's. I forgot our camera, so unfortunately I don't have any pics.




And then of Course, we celebrated the 4th of July a little early. Before heading up to the reunions we set off fireworks at our house with friends. This summer has been fun, but it went way to fast.
