Two Down...

Hooray! Oh, did I say that?? I'm sure I should be sad that two of my children are now gone for most of the day...but, I'm having a hard time feeling any type of remorse...no mother of the year award for me I guess.

#2 made it through his first day of Kindergarten. Just look at the excitement on that face! He is such a little sweetheart and so pumped to be able to go to school with the "big kids".

Summer Sum-up

Wow, I can't believe school is starting Wednesday! Where has the time gone?? This summer has turned out a bit different then originally planned, but we have had fun none-the-less. Here are a few of the big events from the past month or so...

Trip to Paradise, California - My Grandma Polkinghorne passed away in July. She was 85 and I'm sure is marvelously happy to be reunited with her sweetheart. I braved a 13 hour (each way) road trip with the boys to attend her funeral. I can't tell you how well they did! They were troopers! A few highlights from the trip: Stopping at the Salt Flats, celebrating #2's birthday and swimming in a canal.

A few weeks ago I was called into the YW Presidency. Lucky for me, I was put in just in time to attend Girls Camp! This past week we headed up to Bear Lake for four days and nights of fun. Besides having to rough it in tents, sleep through 40 degree temps at night and stave off misquitos we had a great time.

So that's our summer in a very small nutshell. We are looking forward to all the adventures the coming school year will bring.
