Back to School

 Let the school year begin! Logan has been more than excited to start 1st grade. I have had a little bit harder time realizing he'll be gone for the majority of the day. However, our theme for the school year is to BE BRAVE, so it can apply to all of us!

We had our traditional back-to-school dinner to make the kids feel like they're starting off on the right foot.

Morning came and this kid was ready to go. He picked out his outfit, his lunch, and marched into the school without a moment's hesitation.

I went inside with him to make sure he found the right classroom and got situated.

His classroom was decked out in a really fun Jungle Book theme.

Cookies after school and a little conversation about his first day. He loved it! He specifically mentioned it was fun to have 3 recesses.

I know he'll do great this year. Way to go Logan!

Summer - Week 11 - Last Week!

 We made sure to fit in a few more things before school starts this week.

Namely the park:

and the zoo,

the new library and park right next to it,

and a fun BBQ with some dear friends. It was a great way to end summer.

Bring on the school year!

Summer - Week 10 - 2nd Half

 Once we got home from Eden, we still had a fun-filled weekend.

Logan found out who his teacher and classmates are for 1ST GRADE!

The kids made these cute butterflies from our craft kit.

Logan received a postcard from his cute new teacher.

On Saturday we went to the Davis County Fair.

 Here's Norah and Daddy watching a special princess show.

Norah was in heaven.

Especially when she got to meet everyone afterward.

We ate yummy, expensive fair food.

And paid for expensive rides that the kids thought were amazing.

Shared a treat.

Max's first taste of cotton candy. It's a winner!

The boys braved the repile tent.

Max found a fun kids tent with sand (and apparently dipped his head in it).

Fun times as always! Sad that summer is almost to a close!

Summer - Week 10 - Eden, Utah

 We spent a fun 5 days up in Eden with Benj's side of the family. We had beautiful weather and views from the top of a mountain (right by Snowbasin).

Benj didn't come up until Sunday because he was traveling for work.

Max with Aunt Bryce!

Monday we went to Pineview Reservoir and spent the day at there. We rented a couple jet skis which were a lot of fun.

Here's Benj and Norah.

Max fell asleep while floating on the tube.

Norah with Grandma.

Uncle Jon and cousin Cameron.

Caught a beautiful sunrise on one of my walks.

Bet this looks a lot different in the winter!

We went to a fishing pond and let the kids catch their first fish!

On the last day we checked out a local farm/petting zoo. We had the whole place to ourselves.

We got to feed the babies!

This is how Norah felt most of the time. Ha!

Getting pony rides!

Even Norah did it. Yay!

Lots of fun and hope to visit again!

Not pictured: a super fun playground in Eden, complete with a lunch of cheeseburgers from a local bar. Pretty sure it was the only restaurant open in town!
