Back To School with a few Birthday Wishes!

Well School has officially started for us here in Utah. We now have a somewhat quiet house for most of the time with Brittany in Jr. High, Jace in 4th grade, Zak in 3rd Grade, Haylee in Kindergarten, and Kam starting Preschool. I can honestly say I don't know what I'm going to do with 2 hours to MYSELF every Tuesday and Thursday now. We are just so excited to have the kids back in school and have our lives return to some normalcy. Here are a few things that the kids have said about their first week of school.

Brittany:

"Can I just say that I do not miss recess at all." (P.E. Must have been exhausting, or maybe it is opening the locker that is keeping her too occupied to remember what recess was really like.)

Jace:

"Mom, I have to do my reading. I have to. And you HAVE to sign my paper everyday. So don't forget."

Mom: "Well then you have to help me remember Jace. That is part of your responsibility too!" (I thought that was a good way of making it sound like I'm not that forgetful. HA)

Zak:

"It was good, I don't remember what we did." (Now, keep in mind, he could have just met some celebrity or just got off the most amazing roller coaster ride and he would still say "I don't remember". It is so funny.)

Haylee:

"In my test mom, I couldn't believe I forgot what a triangle was." (She must have been nervous about her Kindergarten assessment test.)

Kamryn:

"Mom, I will make sure I let my teacher know how to spell my name." (Now he doesnt start until the 4th, but he cant wait.)

It is so exciting to watch my kids grow everyday. I am so proud of all of them and I anticipate every year to see what new things they will learn and accomplish. Next thing I know, they will all be graduating....................YIKES!!! Where does time go?

ON TO THE BIRTHDAYS!!!
