Back to School

Summer's over. Can you believe it? I sure can't. It went by so fast. On Monday Kobe started first grade. He started at a brand new school in our neighborhood. He was so excited. Last week we found out that two of his best friends were in his class. When we read the names Isaac & Evie he started jumping up & down. It was so cute! He did not get scared or nervous at all. When the bell rang to go into class he gave us a big hug & kiss & was off. He was ready to go face the day. When I asked him what he was most excited for he said "three recesses & lunch at school." What a kid! When he got home from school, he had the best day. He was all smiles! He loved it.

I on the other hand, had the hardest day. I was so sad. My baby is growing up. He is my one & only & will probably be my one & only. He is my whole world! Riley was so good about it. He helped me out a lot. Now I just have to look at it as I get some me time. I have stayed really active & it has helped out so much. I even went to the temple on my own which I have never done before. I think I might start cleaning some homes for people. We'll just have to see what tomorrow brings. I can't wait to find out!

Donut Falls

This last week we hiked up to Donut Falls. It was so refreshing & cool up in mountains. I just love the peace & quiet that you get when you're up there. The hike was so beautiful & so easy. Really enjoyable. If you have not hiked to the Falls, I highly recommend doing so. We can't wait til we go back!

Pioneer Day

We had such a fun 24th Holiday. The day before was the Bountiful City parade so Bret, Andy, Drew, Sam, & my parents came to the parade with Kobe & I. Riley usually drives either the ambulance or the fire truck, but this year he was on duty so he was not able to be in it. It was still a really great parade though. I think it's one of the best! After the parade we all went back to my parents & all slept over. The kids swam & then we had banana splits. My favorite!! The next day we had a fun day all just hanging out & eating a yummy bbq. Good times!

Farmington Pond

We went to Farmington Pond last Sunday & it was so beautiful there. Some kids were having some fun on a rope swing, so Kobe wanted to give it a try. He loved it. We didn't bring him a swimsuit, so when he got done he had to drive home in some of Riley's shorts, & Kobe thought that was so funny!

Future Yankee

We had so much fun this year watching Kobe play t-ball. He did such a good job & he loved every minute of it. He can't wait til next year. Every time the kids go up to bat they were given the opportunity to take a pitch from either their Dad or the coach. Kobe was able to get a hit every time! He was so excited Grandpa, Grandma, Drew, Sam, & Uncle Bret were able to come & cheer him on. I think that was his favorite part about playing. Everyone yelling his name! We are so proud. Watch out Red Sox, we got a future Yankee on our hands!!
