First day of school!




Well, well, well!!! School is finally here and there are 3 off and running. The house is a little too quiet for me these days. James stole the camera and still hasn't given it back so I can't post their first day pictures yet. I figured it was fitting enough to do a baby picture of each because that's how I still have them in the mind anyways. I'm not sure exactly who these other "bigger" kids think they are. Anyways...Jarom is in Kindergarten which is now down the road from the other school. He was so cute on his first day telling me that he was a little nervous. I'm guessing the nerves wore off because I let them ride the bus home and he came running off the bus with a huge smile and told me that it was the best day ever!!! Tank and Ana enjoyed their first days just about as much. Tank has a bearded lizard in his class and that's really the most important thing about 4th grade at the moment. Ana is just excited to be there and doesn't talk much unless we pry it out of her (she's kind of like her dad!) They are loving it!
Beka and Sariah I think are enjoying having the big kids gone. Yesterday we made cinnamon rolls and painted fingers and toes together. What a treat! I started walking with my next door neighbor which is always fun to do. I'm really excited about the coming school year and I have a feeling it's going to be a great one!!!

Oh my word. Erin, those kids are getting so stinking old. I about died when you said Teancum was in 4th grade. you have got to be kidding me. I remember when I would babysit him at Ricks and he would crawl around getting into stuff. Oh, I love that kid. I just can't believe how old they are. And that's so funny of Jarom, a little nervous, but then to have it be the best day ever! Oh, so cute. That's so fun for you guys. I can't wait to see you guys again. I hope you guys are able to make it to thanksgiving and to the Hoopes reunion during thanksgiving time this year. That's what I hear anyway. I would love to see you guys.

I am so happy for those 3 big kids. School is fun & good for them. I have been worried about Jarom going to school. It is scary for those little 5 year olds that think they are all grown up. Fourth grade already, Tank should be in maybe 1st grade. That Ana is a smart kid. She must be the best reader in her class. Good luck for a great year.

Holy spokes 4th grade! That is crazy...are you sure he didn't skip a couple grades? The first day of school is pretty scary I agree with Jarom and I have been going for 13+ years!!

Wow! School is starting so early this year! I think the first day of school is so scary, but also so exciting! I always get an itch to buy school supplies at this time of year.
