I think I posted an entry on my blog right when school got out at the beginning of the summer somewhat complaining about the kids being home and it being stressful. Well, it ended up being a great summer that went WAY TOO FAST!! Once we got in a groove it was all good. I am VERY SAD that school has started up again so soon. However, the kids are thrilled. They came home from their 1st day (it was a 1/2 day) very happy and excited for the school year! Eden only went for 1 hour today with mommy and daddy to put away her school supplies and meet her teacher. Tomorrow she will venture out on the bus. I am SO HAPPY she has Faith and Sawyer to show her the way. I wanted to post some summer highlights for the kids and this is what they told me...
Sawyer- Kalista and Kara coming, Chuck-e-cheese, Camping with daddy, sleepover with Carson, going to Utah.
Eden- Spray park and Chuck-e-Cheese with Kalista and Kara, camping, staying with Grandma Donna
Faith-Softball, Going to Springfield, Utah and Kalista and Kara visiting.
I find the older the kids get, the more I enjoy them. I will ALWAYS love babies but I love doing "older stuff" with the kids now like playing wiffle ball in the backyard, going on bike rides and seeing movies and having them try on clothes at the mall and them actually enjoying it. Watching Eden enter kindergarten has been the hardest one for me yet. I thought it would get easier but it hasn't. I am really praying for a good school year for the kids-Faith getting prepared for jr. high and this is a big responsibility year for Sawyer in 3rd grade-he also starts getting letter grades this year-for Eden that she will like school since she will be spending most of the next 17-20 years there. Here are some photos from this morning. Oh,yeah-Eden has her friend, A.J., in her class this year so after the hour of school we went to Krispy Kreme for a donut....or two :)
