First Day of School

Today the kids started a new school year, I think they were all excited to go. They got ready this mornings with no complaints and we had a ton of time to spare. I know the novelty will wear off and we will be running out the door within a few weeks.

Brandon is starting the 7th grade. He only has one teacher he knows. The 6th grade math teacher from last year moved up with them. She is awesome, so he is looking forward to Pre-Algebra. He also has Honors Language Arts, Science, Social Studies, Visual Arts, and this quarter a science elective on Space- he is really excited about this. Over the other quarters he has vocal music, P.E, and another elective I can't remember now.

Zachary is going into 5th grade. He will be in Mrs. Hill's class. Brandon also had her.
His class should be a really good class this year. Of the 27 kids in his class 9 of them are LDS. Only 2 of those are also boys, there are a lot of girls his age. So he starts the year with a great peer group. I love all the kids his age they are all so kind and loving to each other.

Ethan is in full day kindergarten, he has Mrs. Schmidt as his teacher. Both of his bothers had her too. So we know what an awesome lady she is. He hasn't said much the past week or so weather he was excited or not, but he was up at 6:00am this morning. He walked right out to the playground, but his backpack where the teacher told him, and then was a little put out I made him take a picture with the teacher.
When the bell rang he lined right up, and waved when he saw I was there. No worries!!

Here are all the kids right before we left to go to school. I don't think Rachel realizes they are going to be gone all day and that she is stuck with me. Luckily her friend Kameha is going to go by this afternoon for a while.

It's hard to believe I have a 7th, 5th, and a kindergartener. I don't feel old enough to have an "almost" teenager (as Brandon like to remind us) .
