Ho Hum............

Well, We still haven't been able to find our camera charger in the move or my car keys might I add, so the pictures I will be able to post will be from my phone.  And as you can tell they aren't the best.  So just bear with me and use your imagination.... :)

There hasn't really been much going on up here.  Justin and I got new callings in our Branch.  Justin is the 1st Counsleor in the Young Mens, and I am the Relief Society Meeting Cordinator.  Fun times for us both.  Both our callings are pretty demanding.  I have been working on the Super Saturday that is coming up, and trying to put together a committee for it.  Justin has been busy with Youn Men Activities and Meetings and such. 

Last Sunday we went to the Brigham City Temple Dedication.  It was really neat.  It has been a while since I've been to a dedication to it was nice to go again.  I love the Temple and I'm glad that I'm worthy to attend the Temple.

Zoey has made a new friend.  Her name is Phoenix.  She rides the bus with Zoey.  They aren't in the same class but they both go to afternoon Kindergarten.  She is really cute and nice.  Zoey really likes her.  So naturally I am friends with her mom, Shauna.  She's really nice.  We meet at the bus stop and visit until the bus gets there.  Then we walk a little ways talking for like a half hour and then go home.  We did do a play date one Friday.  It was fun and the kids really had fun together. 

Tyler has made a couple of friends.  First there is Logan.  He is so nice a friendly.  I'm actually glad that he has him for a friend.  They are in the same grade, but he goes to a different school.  His mom didn't want take him out of his school that he was already in when they moved so she kept him there.  But we have his number and they play together all the time!! They are so funny and cute together.  Then there is Tyler.  Tyler is in the same grade and class as my Tyler.  Funny right? He is a good kid, but I'm not so sure about his sisters.  Tyler comes home and tells me some things that they do to him that are mean.  So, when they play they play at my house. 

As for Lexie, she is growing bigger everyday!  She is talking a lot more!  She says mama, dada, bye bye, night night, some, more, mine, all gone, yay, grandma, and Abby.  It's really cute to hear her talk.  And she understands what you are saying too.  Example, if I told her to get her binki she would.  Or if I told her to find Zoey she would.  It's fun.  This is the funnest stage right now.  She is soo funny and always puts a smile on my face.

Well, that just about sums up our lives thus far.  Clearfield is an interesting area.  VERY different than Nephi, but there are a lot of nice people that I have met.  Our Branch is great, and our family is doing GREAT!! That's all that matters right? 

We are happy, what more could a girl ask for?

First Day Of School!!

 
 
 
This year I have been soooo excited for school to start!  The kids really needed a routine and something to do during the day.  They were excited for school to start too.  So September first Tyler came running in our room at 7:00 A.M. He was all dressed and had his backpack ready.  The bus didn't come til 8:15 so he had plenty of time.  He didn't need to eat breakfast cause they eat in their classroom.  We did give him a little snack so he wouldn't be hungry.  When it got closer Justin did his hair and walked him to the bus.  The Next day I walked him to the bus and got a little sad cause he was growing up!  I mean, my first born is in the First Grade!!!!  ;(  

Then it was Zoey's turn!  She was super excited!! Oh my goodness.  She was all dressed and ready to go by 7:30 A.M.  We gave her breakfast after Tyler left then talked with her on what to do.  Justin went with her to school cause it was only a half day so they were orientating the Kindergarted parents.  Justin said she was nervous at first, but then had so much fun when she got in there!  Now everyday she keeps asking, "Is it time for school yet?"  She loves schoo!!! yesterday was her first day to ride the bus there and back!  She met a friend that rides the bus with her to school.  Her name is Phoenix.  That was nice so they both wouldn't be scared to ride the bus.  She rode the bus home with Tyler.  He was pretty protective of her!  He helped her on and sat next to her.  (I LOVE hearing that!!)


When they got home from school they both wanted to do their homework because they LOVE homework!! (That's what they told me!)  I love it!! I hope they both continue to love school the rest of the year.  Zoey's teacher said that they are going to be reading by the end of the year!! This excites me! This school seems to be advanced and the teachers seem to love their jobs! 

It's going to be a GREAT year!  YAY for school!!!!
