Back to School!

Meg has been waiting for this day for MANY years!  She is so excited to get on the bus!  I'm excited for her.  She is one happy kindergartner!

 

 J and Lo are in the same school this year.  They are happy to ride the bus together this year.  4th and 6th grade.  Crazy how quickly they are growing up.

 Zander is so excited for 1st grade.  H is excited to eat lunch at school this year and thinks his new shoes are AWESOME!

Utah Summer Vacation

We loved our vacation this year.  We love to visit family!!!  It is about a 26 hr drive and our kids did it like CHAMPS!!  We had movies going and ipads, ipods, etc. which really helped.  ;)  It was long, but we made it.  The kids like to stay in a hotel half way through and swim!  While we were in Utah, we had fun with family at the 4th of July parade, hiking the wind caves, boating at Bear Lake, riding Papa's tractor, and playing with COUSINSSSSSS!!!!  We hit Arches National Park on our way home which was AWESOME!  It was hot, but super fun!  I loved meeting people from all over the world who had come to visit the famous ARCHES NATIONAL PARK!  :)  We had a WONDERFUL time and I miss family a lot, but so glad we were able visit and give hugs to all!

Here is the slew of pictures:
