First Day of School!

The best day of the year came yesterday.

It was the first day of school!

The kids were up bright and early, especially Colby who was up and kicking by 6:15.  

Beds were made, lunches packed, scriptures and prayer accomplished, teeth brushed, hair combed and shoes tied all by 7:30.

For some reason, they can do this on the first day…but never again.

Colby started third grade and has Mrs. Sailors just like Carter did.

She is fantastic and I'm thrilled for Colby to excel in her class!

This kid could hardly hold still he was cracking up so bad.

Fifth grade must be really fun!

Mrs. Dahlquist is his teacher (Hurray!) and Carter was rip-roaring to go.

Ok…had to include one more of Colby.

This kid is losing his little boy look and is growing up.

My heart aches a little.

And this one?

My oldest?

Well he started HIGH SCHOOL!

What in the world?

The younger two desperately trying to be a little taller.

Don't worry boys, your growth spurts will come all too soon!  Sniff Sniff.

 Moments after the last picture was taken, Saylor girl peeked out in her pj's sporting her blanket wondering what all of the early morning fuss was about!

She is losing her summertime buddies.  Andrew scooped her up for pictures.

Colby tried to eat her up she is so cute.

But he quickly learned if you try and eat someones toes…you might get kicked in the eye.

Accidentally of course.

My four oldest offspring.

Grady was eating Frosted Mini Wheats with Steve and missed out on the photo shoot.

I'm happy to report everyone came home happy and excited about their first day.  This year is looking to be great!
