First Day of School 2015

Our first day of school was on Monday August 24,2015. I can't believe how big my kids are getting! Next year I will have one in college.

Scott starts 10th grade and it's his first year in high school. He is excited to start in the engineering classes.

Diana is starting her senior year! It feels like I just barely took her to her first day at  Challenger School.

Sean is starting his first year of junior high and is in the 7th grade.

Maggie's is the only one left in elementary school. She is going to have a great year in the 5th grade with Mrs. Malloy.

Odds and Ends

I can't believe summer is coming to a close. We are busy getting ready for school to start. Maggie is in Mrs. Malloy's 5th grade class this year and we get the older kids schedules this week. My calendar gets fuller everyday.

Here are a few highlights from the last few weeks.

Sean made the Layton Surfers swim team. He loves it! His tryout was really funny. The coach asked what kind of experience he had and we told him he had only done swimming lessons. He didn't seemed thrilled by our answer. He asked Sean to swim down the pool freestyle and back with a backstroke. Sean jumped in and four strokes later the coach said "He is on the team." There was then a discussion on which team to put him on. Coach Alex then asked him if he knew the breast stroke and butterfly. Sean told him he has difficulties with the butterfly. He swam both of the strokes and the coach was amazed at how good he is just from lessons, especially since he has difficulties with the butterfly.

This week was also South Weber Country Fair Days. Michael, Scott, and Maggie all ran the 5K. Scott PRed and Mike ran Maggie in. 

We went to breakfast as a family at The Cracker Barrel. We have a tradition of drawing names for Christmas over breakfast there, so that is what we did.

Later, while Scott and Diana were at work, Sean and Maggie did the climbing wall.

I hope everyone has as great week.
