Back 2 School


Well we made it through the first week of school. The kids have been really excited and it has made mornings a breeze. They both are adjusting great, Sam had new friends, but as usual he can't remember their names, and Elisabeth talks endlessly about her new friend Parker, who likes pink! Jeremiah wonders why she always has boys for friends? Sam is in 4th grade, that means we have a "child in the upper grades" and has Mrs. Bruce for a teacher, she loves music and her and Sam have hit it off well! Elisabeth is in 2nd grade, and "so far it is easy and a review!" Her teacher is Mrs. Andersen and she is into reading which is also a perfect fit. The only excitement for the new school week was Elisabeth being stung by hornet before school even started on Thursday, they said she was very brave. That same day we had check-ups and both kids are healthy, but neither of them are going to break any size records! I've already got a spot on the PTA board and I am going to be in charge of book fair, and will spend as much time as I can in their classes, something I really missed last year! So life keeps moving, and all is well! (except we still have that darn house in St. George.)

Bye, Bye Tonsils

I'll keep this short since i'm still pretty groggy on loratab, but I finally got my tonsils out Tuesday, hopefully no more sore throats! I wanted to give a big thank you to Grandpa Craig for taking Sam all day and Grandma Bonnie for taking Elisabeth, they both had a good time going to work with their grandparents. Thanks to Lisa for homemade soup and treats and letting the kids sleepover! And I can't tell Miah enough thanks, he's been the best nurse ever! He actually took off two whole days off work! He got so much done around here while also taking great care of me!

-----------------
Spending the day at Lagoon with your cousins = PRICELESS

We just got home from our yearly excursion to Lagoon with all the cousins. The kids had such a great time and it is a lot more fun with them than just mom and dad! All the kids, except Stockton, are now big enough to ride most of the rides and they couldn't get enough! Funny Elisabeth cried on the Terror Rides but never holds on, on any roller coasters! Sam is also not afraid of anything from the Rocket to the new ride Wicked! All the kids are so much fun and everybody got a long great! But boy were all the mom ready to come home, good thing that we don't have to go back for a year! Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Rigby, and thanks to Grandma and Grandpa Johnson for the tickets!
