First days of school!!!

This year was kind of a crazy start. Trevor started fourth grade on Monday August 15th. He got an awesome teacher named Mrs. Mower. I can honestly say she is awesome, because I know her personally. She is in our ward, and we picked our track purely on the wish of getting her. Trevor was really excited this year for school, and so far he is doing really awesome too.

Dilan went to meet his new teacher Mrs. Rubalcava on Monday, but didn't actually start First grade till Tuesday. He was really excited, more to eat lunch at school, but he is a great student and is super excited to have his buddy Parker in his class.

They were so excited! and so cute together :)

Bryson was sad he didn't get to go yet, but put a smile on for the camera anyways.

I got all three boys in for the next picture...nobody wanted Bryson to be sad.

Bryson went in Wednesday August 17th for his testing, and did really well. I have had so many people tell me to hold him back, because of his birthday being in August. I didn't feel like this was right for him as his mom. After his testing in which he read a book, his teacher Mrs. Woods was super impressed. I told her I was a tad worried, and she agreed that holding him back wasn't necessary. His first day was on August 23rd, and he was so excited to ride the bus!


Tyler started preschool today September 14, 2011. He has been so excited to start school, but today when I went to wake him up, he told me he decided to not go. I laughed and asked why, he said it was because he had an cut on his finger, so I told him we could put a Mickey bandage on, and he was all smiles and ready after that. I thought there might be a little hesitation when I dropped him off, but he didn't hesitate at all and went right in with the teacher, I was so proud of him! When I picked him up he was really happy, and said he had so much fun. He played in the sand box, made his hand, and sang and elephant song. Sounds like a successful day :)

and we got a group shot of the smallest three while we were at it.

I know preschool isn't necessary for every kid. I like to read and teach my kids at home too, but I think there is something else they get from going to school and away from mom and their homes. I LOVE PRESCHOOL!!! Here's to hoping for a great school year!

Bryson is 5!!!!

Happy Birthday Bryson!!!!
He wanted me to add in this picture because it makes him look like a mad scientist, ha ha he is so funny!

Bryson has wanted to be five for most of his life. When he turned three, he actually said, well only two more years, and I will be five! Most people have known Bryson was my hardest baby, but he has turned into one amazing kid, and I am so blessed to have him. I found some adorable baby pictures of him, and I couldn't resist adding them in.

Ha ha ha no wonder he has so much personality

He looks so sweet here.



I am glad I have all these cute pictures of how fun he has been too.


This year he got a friend party, so we made it a swim party :) He had fun with his little buddy Brooklyn, while eating hot dogs and chips.

My sister let us borrow her slide, so everybody had lots of fun!


There were tons of kids! I think we had at least 20 with some parents here, it was awesome! It was also our first peanut free party, with peanut approved ice cream and cupcakes. He really liked opening his presents, but I think he just loved having a lot of people over.



He decided he wanted to go to Chuck E Cheese for his birthday dinner

We celebrated his birthday with Spencer's family in the canyon along with celebrating Spencer's, uncle Dave's and Grandpa's birthdays.

We ate hot dogs and s'mores.....yum!

We had his party with my family the Sunday after


He got some more awesome gifts, Thanks everybody!


Five years seems like such an accomplishment with Bryson. He is one of the craziest, unique, frustrating, smart, and adorable kids I have ever met. He makes life really hard sometimes, but he adds so much more to everything! Bryson, you are truly an amazing kid full of a sweet personality and strong will that I love more and more each day. Thanks for teaching me things I never knew I needed to know, and for showing me how be a better mom for everybody! I LOVE YOU BUDDY!
