First Day of School-2009

School didn't start until August 31st this year, which means we won't get out until June. I can hardly believe all my kids are in school, they are growing up so fast! I thought having them all in school would mean I would have a little time to myself, but it hasn't quite happened yet!

Kaden started Kindergarten this year, he only goes 1/2 day so we still have time together and he gets a little down time before the kids get home. His Kindergarten teacher is Mrs. Holdaway. It is her first year at Discovery, but she has been teaching for quite awhile. Kaden really likes school, his only disappointment is not having his best friend Gavin in his class.

Jacob is in the third grade! He loves his teacher Mrs Nelson and is extremely happy he has almost all of his friends in his class. He is such a social bug and loves to play with both the boys and the girls. He has had way to much homework already due to the fact that he socializes to much and gets distracted to easily.

Miss Madison is in the 5th grade which means she is one of the oldest in the school. I think she kind of likes this. I like it because she can be the dependable big sister and make sure her brothers get to school safely. Mrs. Becki Korth is her teacher and a few of her friends are in her class. She too is most disappointed that her best friend Sarah is not in her class.

Tyler entered Box Elder Middle School this year and is in the 8th grade. WOW, can he be that old? This year he seems to like most his teachers so far and was thrilled to have his best friend Hunter in one of his classes. He was excited to go back to school mostly to get away from the slave driver-me! I think he likes school work better than all his summer jobs. Tyler was excited to have contacts to start the new school year.

Peach Days 2009

I still plan to post from our Yosemite trip and the first day of school, but thought I would share just a small part of Peach Days first. Mark is the Chamber President this year and so we had a BIG part of Peach Days! The theme was "Having the time of your life". I enjoyed being a Hostess for the Peach Queen Pageant again this year. I really enjoyed the two girls I got to help and be "Mom" to. I was very impressed with all the girls that ran, what a great group!!! Mark did an amazing job with Peach Days, one of our favorite things was the Jon Schmidt concert. Mark is a big fan and thought that he would be fun to have come. He was right! Biggest crowd ever at a Peach Days concert. Another highlight this year was having the govenor, Gary Herbert, come to Brigham and be in the parade. Mark and several others went to the Capital and invited him to come with only one bribe-PEACHES! I guess they were good!!! Madison, Jacob and Kaden all walked in the children's parade on Friday night with other Discovery Elementary Dolphins. Jacob carried a flag with other cub scouts in Saturday's big parade. Thank you Micah, Tiffani and family for coming Friday night, we had fun celebrating Rebekah's birthday at Peach Days. Thank you Dad, Mom, Melanie, Justin and Juliette for coming Saturday. We have such amazing family support!!! Just a few pictures... I didn't to do great with pictures again!

Peach Queen Pageant... these are the cute girls I got to help. They both did super well and are very talented. They were so fun to be with, thanks for letting me help!

Madison had a soccer game at 8:30 Saturday morning in Lewiston, about 1 hr. away. She did AWESOME! She scored 4 goals, and yes her team won! Way to go HOT PURPLE PEPPERS! We made it back in time to see Jacob in the Parade!

Jacob carried Indiana's state flag.
