First Day of School August 12, 2009

Today was the first day of school. Tyson started Mountain View. 

All of us girls are going to Highland Elementary.

Brooklyn wanted mom to read her The Night Before Kindergarten.

 So was so excited to start.

It was so cute.  Tyson left this note for Brooklyn on the kitchen counter.  

Translation:  Good morning!  I am already at school and have been there for a

 long time!  I got up really early! What are you dong for breakfast?

  Get mom to make something good for your first day of Kindergarten!  

Send me a picture on my phone!  Have a good first day of school.

Love, 

Tyson

Mom was sad this morning.  Her oldest was starting High School

and her youngest was starting Kindergarten.

Paige, Brooklyn and I on are way to a brand 

new school year.

Tyson is in the 10th grade.  He is taking 5 advanced

classes and seminary.  Tyson is lucky because our Uncle

Brian is going to be his seminary teacher.

 

I'm in 6th grade, my teacher is Mr. Casey.  I am excited

 because a lot of my friends are in my class.

Paige is in 3rd grade,  her teacher is Mrs. Kight.

And Brooklyn is just starting Kindergarten.

Her teacher this year is Mrs. Smith.

Summer Fun with Cousins

July 2009

We went to Yellowstone with cousins and their moms. We stayed in my Grandpa's condo in West Yellowstone. It was so much fun. I want to go back. Also we went to St. George.

Me, Jessica, and Paige on our hike to Mystic Falls. We were like a trio that day. It was so long. But we had beautiful views.

One of our traditions in Yellowstone is to see a play at the Playbill. Me and my cousins after we saw Guys and Dolls. It was hilarious. 

Paige, Tyson, me and Brooklyn at Old Faithful after watched it erupted. Another Yellowstone tradition.
