1st day of school

Today was the 1st day back to school. The kids were excited to see old friends,

make new ones, and meet their new teachers.

Anya is in 1st grade this year. She is very excited!!! She loves having lunch and recess this year, and riding the bus with her big brother.

Gavin is in 6th grade this year and he is excited to rule the school! He rotates through all 4 teachers this year so he will be ready for

Jr. High next year. Where did my little boy go???

Cloe` is in 9th grade this year. She has a very full load, but can't wait to get going. It was her 1st day as student body president, and her 1st day of seminary. Tomorrow is her 1st match on the highschool tennis team in Logan. Good luck sis!

When I was a little girl, my mom always made cookies for us on the 1st day of school. I always loved running home knowing that she would be waiting for us with her homemade cookies. I am carrying on the tradition with my own kids. Every year I make our favorite chocolate chip cookies. Anya also put in a special request... "Mom I want you to make sugar cookies with no frosting please". So this year I made both. YUMMY!!!

We as a family are expanding the tradition. The kids love to deliver homemade cookies to their friends when they get home from school. What a great day it's been!!!

1st lost tooth!!!

Anya finally lost her 1st tooth on the 5th of August.

She never thought this day would come. She has

been wiggling her tooth forever.

She was eating dinner over at Cami's house and

she bit into an apple and out popped her tooth.

She was so excited, she came running over to tell

me all about it, and then we had to take some

photo's of course.
