The kids all started school this week. Lizzie was so nervous, scared, excited for Kindergarten! She has a teacher names Ms. Cole. It's going to be a good year for her. She goes half day in the morning and comes home around 11:25. She was thrilled with her haircut, new backpack, and clothes! 

Isaac is starting 3rd grade! He has a fun new teacher named Mrs. Laplante. She's a smart teacher and he's going to have a lot of fun learning all the 3rd grade stuff! I love his smile and his laugh in contagious. Can't believe he's already in 3rd grade! 

Emily is going in to 5th grade! She is gorgeous, kind and smart. She has a quick wit and is good at jokes and sarcastic remarks. She's been doing her own her for a few years now and I she's awesome at it! Love this girl and her fun friends! She has Mrs. Locante was excited for a few friends to
be in her class. It's going to be an awesome year for Emily! 

Taylor was a bit uncooperative for
"Back to School" pics.
He's starting 8th grade at Clayton! He's not nervous at all this year, and is pretty happy with his new Adidas backpack, cool new shoes and styling haircut! He has a hard schedule of classes in the MELP program getting him ready for high school!!!
We love his energy, his attention to detail, he's good at school and a good friend.
Love ALL of these kids SO much! 

We do tons of pics on the first day of school with friends and everyone in the walking groups. Here are a couple of pics. Lizzie is super excited to walk to school with the big kids! I'll be walking with her for a while, until she's comfortable. 

The Jr. High group! 

Once the kids were back in school we had a big primary activity to plan! The kids in our primary read the "Book of Mormon Reader this summer and this was their celebratory activity! We had 6 different stations with lots of fun activities for them to participate. It was a lot of fun- and a lot of work for the leaders! 

We love our ward and neighborhood, it's such a wonderful place to live!
