First Day of School



The big kids started school today. Andrew is officially in High School and decided to attend the new Charter High School YAA!!!!!! We (mom and dad) are so excited with his choice.  Spencer is a middle schooler this year. Spencer started the 7th grade. He was so excited to be a big kid he told me "I have been waiting my hole life to be in 7th grade and have my own locker". Abbie is at the same school and is in the 5th grade this year.. She was excited about her new teacher.. And was thrilled to have her 2 BFF's in her class. I love having the ability to decide what class my children are in...  This picture is so funny Andrew has grown so much as well as Spencer.. Andrew and Spencer are both wearing Andrew's shirts from last year we have not had time to do school shopping only for supplies.. The shirt is a lot to big for Spencer and a Little short for Andrew.. (giggle) Abbie is just a little pip squeak she stays in the same size forever she can still wear a 8-10 and she is 10.5 years old. Her little brother Zach weighs about the same and he will be 5 in Oct.... Abbie was luck enough to get a new shirt and pants for school in time. She still fits all her other cloths with the exception of a few white shirts needed.. I have to say I LOVE Uniforms!!! It's so Easy....  This year the kids all start at the same time yikes. To top it off I have to drive them all. Regan is in a carpool know (waaaaah) He drove the kids to school last year I was so spoiled and I know it! I am such a night owl as is all of my family.. It's going to be rough getting back into the swing of school... Andrew will also have drivers-ed this year he will be 16 in January.. I can't believe it my self... At least we don't have early morning Seminary Andrew said no way to it because he would rather have release time this year... He even said her would give up weigh training if he had to.. Weird... I choose early morning ever year in high school so I didn't have to give up any classes... To each his own...
Zach was sad yesterday to realize that he had to wait for Teacher Wendy (pre-school) to start in Sept. He loves going to school and will go 3 days a week this year. I am also excited to see his mind grow. He learned so much last year...

Last night we had back to school blessing from dad and we hope the the best year yet!!!
Time to do chores sense all the child slaves are at school..(he,he) at least that's what they think...
