I started working again and it has been such a change. I work at the school so my hours are almost the same as my kids. Macie goes to her BFF's house to play before school and I leave the house as soon as the other kids get on the bus.
We got kids in our class on Wedensday and wow was I tired when I got home. Don't get me wrong I really enjoyed it, but having a cold and not having any energy right now was not what I needed day one. Day two went a lot smoother for everyone. I am looking forward to a great year.

Macie's First Day of Kidergarten
Macie was so excited that the day has finally come that she gets to go to school with her brother and sister. She was mad at me because I wanted to take her to school on the first day instead of riding the bus. She was really excited to ride the bus home. She is in Mrs. George's class. She seems like such a fun teacher. Her room is decorated in a jungle theme. I think the most exciting part of Macie's day is when she got to school and her best friend was sitting right next to her at her table. She also has two other friends from up the street in her class.

First Day of School
Another school year has come upon us and I can hardly believe that my kids are so old.
Brayden is starting 5th grade this year and is so excited to have Mr. Earl. Mr Earl is the kinda of teacher that tells jokes in class and likes to goof of while learning.
Corey is going back to Mrs. A's (Adamson's) class and with most of his friends from last year. I have a hard time saying that he is in 4th grade, but when my other kids move up a grade so does he.
Abbey is in 3rd grade with Mrs Searle. She really wanted her for a teacher and was really relieved to find out one of her BFF's is in her class.
Macie will start kindergarten next week. So I will get a whole week to enjoy some piece and quiet with just the two of us before she goes of to the BIG world.

what font are you
I took a fun little quiz to see what font I am. It was totally not what I expected, I thought I would be something a little more fun, but none the less here I am...
You Are Times New Roman |
You are formal and conservative. You're concerned with how you appear to others. For you, maintaining a good reputation is important. You want people to trust you. Elegant and classy, you always maintain your composure. You are never crass. You are professional, competent, and upstanding. And it shows! |

How much summer can you cram into one week?
Well with only one weekend left until school starts we had a lot of activities left that we wanted to cram in, not to mention school shopping. So Friday we did the school shopping and I have to admit the kids did really well for a six and half hour trip.
Saturday was camping we went up to Payson Lakes. This was intended to be a quick up and back trip and it was. We left my moms around 4:00 and were back to our house by 10:00 Sunday morning.
We hiked down to the lake and the kids found a stick that had a fishing line and a bobber on the end of it and tried to catch a dead fish that was in the water. Corey went off and picked me and Gussy some wild daisy's and told us both he loved us the most. He is such a sweet kid.
Macie even learned to tie her shoes. She was the first kid to pass Grandma Gussies summer graduation program. (tie your shoes and tie them tight so you aren't slopping around in untied shoes all day:))
Grandma and Corey serenaded us in some lovely campfire tunes, Burning Ring of Fire and Hey Jude. I promised I wouldn't put the video on, but it is worth a few laughs. Just imagine.
Tonight we are off to 7-peaks and tomorrow is back to school night. Then finally the day has come that peace and quite will sweep through my house again. A bitter sweet day.

Abbey's Baptism

Abbey was baptized on Aug 2nd. It was a great experience for her. She looked so beautiful in her dress and for those that know her you know she is a princess and had to have her tiara. There was a terrible car accident that morning so most of our family was 45 min late. Luckily she was the only one from our ward and we were able to wait for them. After she was baptised and changing her clothes the bishop knocked the door and told us that we had to do it again because she was holding onto Sean's arm to high, so back into the wet clothes for another try. Other than that things went well, all of the family came over to our house after for breakfast. Luckily we were able to get the counter top laid and backsplash up in time.
