We all headed back to school on Thursday! The kids were all pretty darn excited. Brig headed to Middle School and 7th grade. Katry is attending elementary school in 5th and Seth headed right back in the door to have homeschool for 3rd grade with Kaleb, Kai and I. Well I must say it was much much easier sending off a 12 and 10 year old for their first days of public school than I imagine it would be to send of a kindergardner. They were excited and enjoyed it quite a bit. Katry was nervous about not knowing anyone. But three little girls from her class came right up to her and asked if she wanted to play on her first recess and she hasn't looked back since. Brig made the Middle school soccer team and has been wearing himself at that for a couple of hours every night. He has been wearing our ears out at night telling us about everything that goes on at school . I love it! Brig has been riding his bike to school and today Dad, Katry and Seth rode their bikes to school to greet him as he was leaving school. He said that he was happy to see them, but a little embarassed to have his family show up at the school.
We squeezed every bit of summer out that we could the three days before school started. I have been wanting to make pretzels all summer and we finally fit it in. Yes these pretzels tasted as good as they look. Way to go kids!
We watched a video, went swimming several times, did last minute school shopping, got all our supplies ready, rode bikes and ate popsicles galore. Wednesday night, Brigham gave us all Back to School Blessings. We love having his calming priesthood power to bless us. Thursday morning we arose and began our school routine. We excersized as a family, read scriptures, ate yummy waffles and strawberries, then headed out the door. 
Our little Kai- for your viewing pleasure. The kids like to dress him up.

This is a Love note to Kaleb from Maizie. She has ben asking me If she can write to him so tonight I let her. As she typed she said will he know what I am writing? Then she began to tell me what she was typing.. hope you have a good day. I give your baby Zibby a love from me and give your a giant hug. I miss not playing with you at Grandmas house.
Opps I needed to read that post before I sent it... ben = been
Give your "MOM" a giant hug
Looks and sounds like school was great. I could go for a family work out, scripture study and waffles and strawberrys. Sounds like a perfct way to start the day. Might need to work that one into our plans.
Hey there. I'm just catching up on all the posts for the summer. Looks like you had a wonderful summer. We just missed all of you visiting Utah by one week. Looks like both weddings were great. I loved all of the pictures. Cute cousins in all the wedding shots.
Dang the kids are lookin sharp!! I'm so happy Brig and Katry had good experiences and are loving public school! Little geniuses! that love note from Maizie is SO cute!! I love seeing the cousins interact and be friends, our family is getting so big! I love it!
Wow! What a big day! I am so glad you are all doing well and that Brig and Katry are having a good experience at school! I met a lady at Gracie's dance class who had a son on Katry's soccer team. She was talking about this great soccer coach who was an orthopaedic surgeon and military who had like 6 (she got that part wrong) kids and his wife home-schooled! I knew right then that she was talking about your family. She had really great things to say about you both and she said that Katry was the star of the team. I wasn't surprised to hear that either. Her son was Cameron, I think. Anyway, it was nice to hear about you and think about your sweet family today!
I'm glad the kids are loving school--that's always scary for a mom (I don't want to think about kindergarten next year!) What a fun summer for you guys...I think my kids will be happier next year when their mom isn't so pregnant and lazy! We miss you. P.S. Tell the kids that I hope they're still practicing piano!!!
