School starts...

I am so awful at updating! I swear I will get better! Now that I have a little more time on my hands. The kids started school on the 11th! My baby is now a first grader and my other baby is a FOURTH grader! So crazy. My kids got awesome teachers again this year. We have been so lucky that way! Peyton got a male and I am thinking that is just what he needed. He LOVES school so far and everyday he is excited to go. Pajha didn't get any of her friends from last year in her class but she does have a few of her friends from Daisies in there and of course she was not effected by that at all, she makes friends everywhere she goes.

My Fourth Grader

My First Grader

We were lucky enough to finally take a family vacation just before school started. I had the competition in Vegas, so we turned that into a big family vacation. My mom, and my sisters met us in Vegas so we got to spend the weekend with them, and then we went camping in Pine Valley, UT for a few days and had so much fun. The weather was beautiful, we hiked, explored, fished (or at least attempted to), drove into Zions for an afternoon where it was hotter than hot and did a couple of hikes. We cooked in our dutch oven, roasted marshmallows and ate way too many s'mores! It was JUST what we all needed. We then went back into Vegas where we stayed with Bjay's Aunt Tracey. The kids swam and played WII and we just RELAXED. That was the best way to end our summer. I have all of these pics up on facebook but incase you haven't seen them here they are!
