Kickin' it off with some style!

So, the Boyz kicked off the first day of school on August 21st, with matching Skater/Skull shirts, and thought it was terrific! (Eli was excited that his brother wanted to look just like him...NOT!)
Ash was so excited to start the 1st grade! When I told him who his teacher would be, he said, "Oh my, she has such a LOVELY voice!" (even though I don't think he had ever met her:))
There he is with his buds Brynlee, and Savannah. Isn't he lucky that he gets to sit by friends that he already knows? He thought so!
Eli is ready to LEARN! His teacher is so EXCITING, and FUN! He just adores her! (and he really likes this one girl in his class....yuck!)

You gotta love it! The first day of school. Our family tradition is to start the year off with father's blessings, night before school. Judd gave the boys terrific blessings. The spirit was strong, and full of peace afterwards. We all slept so soundly that night:) The next morning we had a traditional breakfast of eggs, sausage and pancakes, and then we loaded up our backpacks, put the baby in the stroller, and walked to school. We always walk on the 1st day!

When the boys came home I had piping hot cookies fresh from the oven ready (ha ha ha, just kidding) we went to Mickey D's for some soft serve to celebrate the day!

Avey and I are getting used to a new schedule, and Judd and I are enjoying a much cleaner house! (no one is here to mess it up!)

Awesome first day of school outfits! Good job on doing a big breakfast and walking to school on the first day (we barely made it with just having cereal (we don't have an oven right now))!

The boys are so cute. Who would think they were the same two that terrorized the chapel a few weeks ago. LOL
I always loved the first day of school and the peace and quite that happened at home. More time with the baby great.

You are such a good mom. I'm sure they loved soft serve just as much as cookies. They looks so cute. Hope they had a good day.

I'm so glad to hear from you!!! Your baby girl is too cute, and I can't believe how big the boys are!! It just feels like Eli was a baby! Time goes a little to quick these days, for instance, it will be a year in oct since I've seen you at our wedding! Congrats on the baby, she is beautiful and your family is adorable. I loved the church story, what little Olympians! Shaun and I are excited to be expecting our first baby in feb:)
