Back to School


The girls started their new school year today. They were definitely more excited than I was. Kristyn and Kaley are going to Pony Express Elementary and Sydney will be going to Meadow Elementary. Blayne will start next week at Pony Express preschool. I can't believe how big my little family is getting. Kristyn got her hair cut on Saturday in preparation for 5th grade. (I'm I even old enough to have a 5th grader.) She was very happy with her new hair. I think it makes her look more grown up. I am not sure I'm ready for that just yet. Kaley wasn't even nervous to start today. She is more use to the school this year, and already has a few friends in her class. 3rd grade should be a great year for her. She is becoming more responsible, she was up and dressed this morning without being woken up. We'll have to see how long this lasts. I had a hard time letting Sydney go to school today. The bus came to pick her up at about 8:00, she has an hour and 1/2 bus ride to school. The bus driver is hoping to have her back home by 4:00 today since it is an early out day. I'm not use to her being so far away from me. I know she will do great and have so much fun in class, but I am struggling with having her gone for so long. To me she is still my little girl. How can she possibly be only enough to stay a full day at school and even have lunch in the cafeteria? At least Blayne will still be home for one more week. He will help keep me busy.

I am so proud of the kiddos. They enjoy school and do such a great job. What a lucky mom I am.

That is a long bus ride. She will probably love it though. You do have great kids.

Such an emotional day isn't it? It's amazing how fast they grow. Can't wait to hear how the kids are enjoying school!

Linds, the kids all look so cute. I love Kristyn's haircut. I finally posted some more pictures on my blog.

Fishing in Herriman

Fishing in Herriman
Kaley's big one. Kaley didn't have the patience to cast and wait for the fish to bite. I'm not sure how she managed to leave the pole in the water long enough to catch anything.

Kristyn fishing (kind of)

I think Kristyn would rather sit back and relax, and stay as far away from the fish as possible

Sydney' fish

Sydney' fish
Sydney was getting tired of fishing so she was reeling in the line to pack up and go home. She couldn't beleive it that there was a fish attached to the end of the pole

Blayne was ready for fishing before anyone

Blayne is quite the fishing pro. He has his own spiderman pole and his fishing hat.
