Well, it's back to school time already and I didn't even get to tell you about any of our summer fun. Not having a camera to take and share pictures with you all just takes all of the fun out of blogging!! So, a quick recap of some of the things we did over our summer break...camping, hiking, swimming, get-aways to Nana's house, just chillin', and a really fun Family "Luau" at the KOA in Richfield. Really not a lot, it seems like our summer just flew by, we blinked our eyes and it was gone; so now it's back to the daily grind, back to the books, and back to crazy chickens running with our heads cut off!!
The kids are excited to be returning to the same school they attended the past two years, even though we're not living in the boundaries. I decided that it was worth it to me to drive them back out there until we know where we are going to end up for sure, I would hate to get them started at a new school and barely be settling in and finding new friends just in time to yank them out to go somewhere else. We hope all works out so they can stay where they are now, we would really love that!!
First day of school, they look so sharp in their new school clothes!! (What a cute pose, huh?! :)
Sydney is in 6th grade this year and so excited to "Rule the School"!! I can't believe she is getting so old, and big enough to share shoes with me (YEAH!!, more for me!)
Stetson is in 4th grade and has such a great attitude about school this year, thanks to last years teacher (we love him sooo much!!)
What a blessing it is to be surrounded by a multitude of our Heavenly Father's beautiful temples. And what a special priviledge it was to attend the dedication of this Holy House with my family. I am so grateful for the wonderful spirit we felt and was able to share with Sydney and Stetson, especially in singing 'The Spirit of God'. As we sang the words "...the veil o'er the earth is beginning to burst" I was so overcome by the spirit that I could not even utter the words of the song, it is a marvelous feeling and I cannot express how grateful I am for my Heavenly Father and all that he has given me. I am especially grateful for my eternal family and for the knowledge I have of my Heavenly Father's plan.
