Playing nice together

This is a rare moment at our house. Zach and Katelyn were playing nicely together. I don't know if it was because Kyleigh was at school, or Zachary is realizing that Katelyn is getting older and can play with him now. They rode the little bike, pushed around the baby stroller and did a puzzle. It was really cute.

Homework!

When I picked up Kyleigh from school Monday she was so excited she could hardly wait to tell me......that she had homework. She then informed me that she had to complete her homework right when we got home from school. We can only hope that she is always this enthusiastic about homework. Marlin said we should probably video tape her saying that she loves homework for future reference.

First Day of Kindergarten and Preschool

Today was the first day of Kindergarten for Kyleigh and the first day of Preschool for Zachary. Kyleigh woke me up at 6:30 fully dressed in her uniform for school. She was ready for me to go downstairs and make her a "healthy"breakfast so she would be prepared for her first day of Kindergarten. Do you think she was a little excited?!?!

Zachary was also excited to start school today. He goes to school from 12:00-2:30. I told him that he doesn't go to school until after lunch. Right after breakfast he asked me how long until lunch time. When we walked into his classroom he headed straight for the toys. I told him that I was leaving and would be back later to pick him up, he said "see ya Mom". We are so blessed to have kids that are eager to learn and not scared to go to school. Although I did see more tears from parents than from the kids.

This is a picture of Kyleigh's "healthy" breakfast that she requested. Bananas, Apples and Scrambie eggs.

Here is a new picture of Kyleigh, Zach, and Katelyn from our vacation to Utah. This picture was taken at Temple Square in Salt Lake City. More vacation photos to come so check back soon.
