Summer is over!

We went swimming one last time before the temperatures started to drop. The girl's absolutely love swimming and really get excited when BJ & Misty invite us to play at their house. We had an awesome BBQ and played with friends until it was beyond time to get the kids in bed.

New Sis-in-law!

What a fun bridal shower and celebration for my new Sister-in-law.  The shower was outside of her parents home in Parowan, UT.  Perfect weather, fun people and yummy treats.  I am so excited for my youngest brother and his lovely fiance!

Shopping

I have the best little helper. Peyton has been very sad after we drop big sister off at school each morning. I decided she needed to take charge of something to make her happy.

She got her own shopping cart and picked out some of her favorite things.  She was still a little sad in this picture, but trying to show me her big girl side.

School 2012

 I am very amazed at how fast Kindergarten and our first official summer break flew by. Now Brynlyn my oldest is a First Grader. She is super excited, I'm excited and sad all at the same time.

 Happy baby Miyah, excited to leave the house!

 Peyton is just as excited for Brynlyn as I am. She packed toys and an empty lunchbox in her backpack for the adventure.

 So many parents and kids everywhere on the first day of school. The little girls enjoyed the stroller while Brynlyn got to see classmates from last year.  Nicholas is her buddy from Kindergarten, very cool they ended up in the same class again. 

 I love this picture. She was so excited and nervous at the same time.

The second day of school we got to take Brynlyn's friend Aliyah.  These girl's love to play together.  But, they fight really well too. The first few weeks of school Brynlyn was exhausted and cried often, we fought over homework and almost everything else.

By the fourth week of school she was a happy kid again.  Adjusted to her new full schedule and loving her weekends at home.  She is almost kinder to her little sisters now that she is not with them all the time.
