1st Day of School 2016/2017!!

I can't believe that summer is already over and another year is ready to begin!! I must be having too much fun, because time is flying by!!

This week was full of first days for everyone, accept Talie. 

Ashlynn started first, getting to the bus stop at 6:55 on Monday morning. (Talie did Ash's hair and makeup - and she's lookin good!) Ash is going into 8th grade at Mesa Middle School. She is in the Panda pod, and has every class, except one, again with her friend, Cambria. It's going to be a great year!

Peyton was next, getting driven to Castle Rock Elementary School, where he starts the 4th grade!! with Ms. Bryant, who is very nice and does lots of science projects!! By the 2nd day of pickup, he was already responding that his day was good! Another good year ahead!

Kennedi went with Peyton. She is in Ms. Zelem's class, who is already her favorite teacher (no surprise for Kennedi)! She was nervous at first because all of her close friends that she talked to before school started are in a different class. But, of course, she walks in and finds a class full of her other closest friends and is ready to tackle the 3rd grade!! 

Tanner, my baby, is in Kindergarten! The school went to full day, everyday kindergarten, but did give a half day pick up option, which we are currently doing. Monday was just his meet the teacher day, with a few other kids. His teacher is Ms. O, who he continues to call, Sister O, and she is from the South. When I picked him up from meeting the teacher, he said, "Mom, I want to go to FULL day kindergarten, because I like how my teacher talks!"

Dallin is a BIG junior this year! I can't believe he'll be ready to leave us in two years! His first day was Tuesday & it seemed to go smoothly, besides most people surprised that he was back this year - they all thought that he was moving to St. George. He's driving, playing tennis and getting his braces soon! I'm excited to see what other fun things will fill this year!!

My FAVORITE picture!!

And, Wednesday was Tanner's first day of Kindergarten! He's so lucky that he's surrounded by a big brother & sister at CRE! He told me that they walk him into class in the mornings, give him a hug, a kiss and tell him that they love him before they head off to start their own day!! What a great way to start a day! That makes a Mama cry;).
