School Days

Today was Chase's first day of kindergarten. He was so excited to go that he wanted me to drop him off at school when I took Brody this morning and he would just wait there for afternoon kindergarten. He thought I was an idiot when I told him he had to eat lunch at home and then come back for kindergarten...he said, "What do you think the lunchroom is for?"

When I picked him up he was eating a hostess cupcake with a note attached that said "My first day of kindergaten was a piece of cake" I read it out loud and Chase responded, "It really was."

He said he meet two new friends that he played with all day. I asked Chase their names and he said, "I havn't asked them that yet." Good thing I have Chase around to always make me smile.

Chandler started Junior High School last Monday August 25th and Brody started 4th grade also on that day. Chandler loves it! Brody not so much. When we ask Brody why do doesn't like it he said, "Its school mom, who likes school."

Chase at the carshow.

Last night the kids went to the antique car show with Grandma and Grandpa Atwood. In the middle of browsing at all the cool cars, Grandpa asked Chase, "What is your favorite car so far?" Chase answered, "The icecream truck."

The 4th of July!!

Oh ... we love the 4th of July! We headed up the canyon to partake in pancakes, bacon, eggs and orange juice. It was a great time! The kids found a treasure map and went on a Pirate Treasure Hunt. They loved it!

We headed over to the Gateway to run through the fountains to build up a apetite for "Sky Box" where we had a late lunch. We won't be eating there again. It was horrible.

Before fireworks, we cruzed over to Grandma and Grandpas' house to recharge. Some took naps (Shaun and Dad)
