September school days

-

 This has been such a busy month!  School started for Natalie on August 27th.   She is a junior this year.  ACK!  How did that happen so fast!  She is trying a new sport too - cross country.  Let's just  say that it wasn't her first choice and it was really hard for her when she first started.  But I am so proud of how hard she has been working.  She has practice five days a week and then a meet on Saturday, so it works out to be a long week.  In addition, she works two evenings a week after practice!  And she's got a super packed junior year class schedule.  She has survived the first three weeks of this and is about halfway through.  Three cheers for how hard she is working.





Then on September 15th Kenna started her senior year of school - but all classes via BYU-Idaho concurrent enrollment.  She is taking 10 credits this semester and working 18 hours a week or so at In n Out.
She is in my seminary class (so sorry, sweetie!) and I love riding to and from seminary with her.  I don't have a back to school picture for her yet - we take senior picture this week though!  She is working really hard and it's going to be a great semester!




Finally, Faith started school on September 17th.  She is a sixth grader and attending Gracious Me Academy for her fourth year.  She's excited to be back with her friends.  She really enjoys learning out there.  She's doing archery right now and continuing her piano lessons with me.


I am teaching year three of seminary and I love this class.  Like seriously love them.  They come, they mostly come on time.  They are willing participants, and they are funny and insightful.  What a bunch of champs.  

All in all, we are off to a great start for the school year.

I think I posted this photo on Facebook....can't wait until my girls are home and I can hear all about EFY!!!   I have missed them but know they are having a blast. My little girl loves her baths!  She's turned into a monster crawler, and this week learned to pull herself up to a standing position, so baby-proofing just went to the next level.  She loves to play with her siblings.  She follows them around while they enact their pretend plays and chews on things while she watches whatever they are doing.  She is darling and we love every second with this girl! Four days after scout camp, the scouts had the unique opportunity to earn their archeology merit badge.  They were able to participate in a real 'dig' a couple hours south and be taught by an archeologist about what they were looking for.  They found some Indian arrowheads and Logan was able to bring home some obsidian souvenirs.   Boys love dirt!

First Family

 Oh goodness - it's always a treat when we get Nathan and his family all to ourselves in Oregon.  It's a sacrifice for them to drive all the way out here in a busy summer.  This year they came so that Aves could attend FSY with Kenna and Natalie.  While the girls were gone, the rest of us played.  Faith had the week of her life.  Summer Camp at Miss Annie's with her cousins was a highlight. We also read books galore, ate treats, went to a baseball game and played and laughed hard together.

Second family/Reunion/Anniversary

 After our first family visitors left we had a turnover day, and then the next family group started streaming in.  ;-)  We had some family stay with us and some had arranged their own housing.  We planned three days of activities.  One thing that I loved was having all my sisters together - that is a rare treat. Not too many photos from the anniversary picnic.  We had professional photos taken which will be coming in a few weeks.  It was crazy hot but we had a good time nonetheless. On Thursday the sisters packed up our kids and went to the redwoods and enjoyed the afternoon playing in the river at Jedediah Smith park.  We got lucky with the BEST weather. And that concluded our family reunion and anniversary celebration.
