Sunday night we had our "Back to School" family dinner. We made pizzas on the pizza oven and had a fun night together. Then Danny gave each child a beatiful fathers blessings to start the new school year!
Baby Bowen in his little suit! He's so cute! 

Monday morning the kids started School!!
We had a big, yummy breakfast to start the day.

The kids have mixed feeling about school. They were feeling nervous, scared, mad, tired, excited etc... to start school Monday morning.
Taylor goes with our neighbors to school, and leaves at 7:25
The other kids all leave with their walking groups at 8:05.
Emily is at Clayton this year! She's excited for 7th grade and hopes to have a great year! 

We took lots of pics with all the kid and their friends all morning long! We love our neighborhood and all the kids that are our friends. 

Natalie, Richie and Bowen were visiting this week from CA. They are here for a family wedding, and they blessed Bowen too! He is such a CUTE baby! 

Jenn and Chandler have been sending pics of their cute new baby, Millie. She is so adorable, we can not wait to meet her!  We really love having all these baby cousins.

Here are lots of pics from his blessing. We had a fun night with a family dinner and seeing all the Connolly's. 

Sunday after church we decided to head to the mountains. We went to Silver Lake and explored. We loved the cooler weather, the gorgeous views and seeing the wildlife etc.. it was a great afternoon and so fun! 

I am sad that summer is over, but it's nice to get back into a schedule and a routine etc.. I think it will be a great school year for all the kids!
