First Day 2013-2014

August 22, 2013 = The First Day of School!!!

The kids were up bright and early. Zach came in at 7am and said, 
"Mom! Get up we are going to be late! I'm going to get dressed!"

Whoa down there sporty we don't have to leave for an hour and a half!!

I made cinnamon rolls last night so breakfast was done and ready!


All ready to go! They still have dress code, however they have relaxed a little on the rules. They added Khaki, and colored denim! 


Sassy Miss. 4th grader!


Excited Mr. 2nd grader!
"Mom, at first I didn't want to go back and now I am really excited!"


Brynley wanted to join the picture! She was a little confused and sad this morning. 


At the school ready to go in. They changed it up this year. You used to be able to go to the classroom and find your locker. This year they had the gates up so you couldn't go down the hall. :( So no picture with the teachers or at the locker! We said goodbye and they went outside!


 Yep! She cried as soon as we walked out the door. Sad little sister. All the way home, she said, "Where's bubba (Zach) and Sisser (Madison)?" "Where go?" "Noooo!"

One of the new school year traditions that we have done over the years is a Father's Blessing. Each kid gets their turn to receive a special blessing from Dad. Each in unique and just for them. We can receive a Priesthood blessing to help us get through different times in our lives. A Father's blessing is very special because it comes from dad and Heavenly Father. We loving have the Priesthood in our home!

Madison went first, then Zach and then Brynley. She sat so still and quiet. Madison and Zach are such a great example to her! We did this last night right before bed.


Here's to a great school year!

So sad that Brynley was so distraught over kids going back today :( hopefully having Bay and Ry over will make it not so bad instead of being home all day alone. Here's to another school year...sooo not looking forward to going back the beginning of the month, summer went by WAY too fast this year!!

Courtney misses the kids a lot too! She was so cute when Robert was giving the kids a blessing. After Brandon she jumped right up and sat in the chair and was ready for her turn! They are so cute at this age.
