School Time!!

The Grandview Grizzlies!All ready for school

looking less than thrilled!

The boys started school this week :( They are loving it! I am so sad. I cannot believe Bry is in 4th grade, Cole is in 2nd and Cody started 1st grade this year. Where does the time go? I am missing them terribly!!! They go to school at 9:00 at don't come home until 3:50! Then we spend time on homework and dinner, before you know it, it's bedtime. I was not ready for school to start, another month or two of summer would have been nice. I am really looking forward to the first school holiday!

The kids are enjoying school however. They have made friends really fast and like their teachers. The big thing at school for them right now is that they have a great playground.

Temple square, isn't it beautiful!

We were all pretty sad after we dropped Dan off at the airport on Saturday. To cheer everyone up I thought it would be fun to spend the day in Salt Lake. I drove the boys around down town and was able to show them my college, where I lived, met Dan and where I worked through college, they thought it was all "sweet" as Cody said. We then went to the church history museum. The kids had a great time learning about the pioneers and past prophets. There is a room set up for just the kids, they were able to play and touch things, they had a blast. Next we went to Temple square and the Visitor center there. We saw The Testaments. WOW. The kids sat through the whole thing and came out with a better understanding of the Lords sacrifice for us, it was a very spiritual experience.

After spending about 5 hours down town we headed back home. The kids keep asking when we are going to go again!

Going to the Lake!!

I cannot tell you how sore I was after spending time with Missy on the tube!

Taking a break and playing a friendly game of catch between the boat and the tube.

We all got dunked!

The kids loved the lake this year. Bryan and Cody both got up on the kids water ski!! When Cody fell he said "that was totally sweet!", cutest thing ever! Cole and Cody both went on the water tube with grandma, they loved it, Cody even went on the tube alone! I went on the tube with Missy and have never been so sore in my life! Doug drove crazy with the two of us on it and I am awfully proud of myself for how long I could hold on! Dan had fun water skiing and wake boarding, he did really good until he pulled his thigh muscles! It was a fun afternoon and we all slept great that night!
