Zachary and Kindergarten

Zachary has been in Kindergarten for an entire month already I can't believe it. So far he has done very well. Only 1 trip to the school nurse so far and no missed days of school. He is LOVING being in all day school although he comes home pretty tired most days. Our biggest issue is that he won't eat his lunch and it doesn't matter what we give him he just won't eat. So far he has lost about 1.5 pounds which is not a lot but on Zach every ounce counts. So we are fighting that battle with him. He says he's not hungry but I can't imagine him going all day and not getting hungry. So we will have to see what they say when he goes into the CF Clinic in a couple weeks. Maybe they will have an idea that we haven't tried yet.

First Day Of School

Okay I have no idea why Blogger won't let me upload more then 2 pictures but this picture was to CUTE not to post. Here are Emalee and Ryan on the first day of school. Take a look at the 2 other posts to see more cute pictures of my Big kids.

3rd Grade Princess

Emalee started 3rd grade and so far so good. No tears and we haven't had any major melt downs. She seems to really like her teacher so that is a really good thing with Emalee. Half the battle is having a teacher she likes. She is growing up and I really don't like it. Rich told me this morning to stop making her look so cute for school. Oh what fun the next few years will bring with Emalee and her Dad. I think the screaming has only begun.

The Cool 8th Grader

So Ryan started 8th grade Monday. I can't believe it. He is getting so big !! Didn't he look cute on his first day?? I know that is totally an uncool Mom thing to say but it's true. So far school is going well. Of course we're only 3 days in. We'll see tonight he is supposed to get Algebra homework-- watch out I will probably be calling for help !!!

The Latest Fashion Craze

Emalee, Madison. Hannah, and Chloe all had matching dresses for church last Sunday. The looked so cute!! They are dresses made out of pillow cases that Carrie's mom made. She is one talented lady-- you should see the things she makes. It was so nice of her to include Emalee. As you can see the girls love each other and thought they were so special wearing matching dresses. Thanks Carrie's Mom !!

Sand, Water, and Fun

A couple Saturdays ago we went up to Echo Reservoir and went boating with Mike and Carrie and Carries Family. Rich water skied and knee boarded.He did really well seeing as it's been 20 years. Ryan knee boarded and he did great for a first time.I got dragged behind the boat and embarrassed myself. Oh well Knee boarding is not for me--what can I say I never claimed to be an athlete. It was a lot of fun and I hope we get invited to go again. This time I think I will stick to riding in the boat though.

All In One Days Fun

We went swimming and went and had a picnic with our friends Mike and Carrie and their Kids. We had a fun time swimming in Rich's parents pool and then afterwards we went up one of the Canyons and had a picnic. It was a nice relaxing day. Our kids love playing together so it made it fun for everyone. Notice no pictures of me in my bathing suit--that is the good part about being the one taking the pictures.
