School Days

This year I am in for a roller coaster ride, as far as school is concerned anyway. Tom has been accepted into the masters program at the University of Utah. (go Utes!) It is a two year program and will be in school on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. Very proud! Very proud!

Laine is in 8th grade and is doing well.

Kaylee is in 7th grade. First year of middle school! Laine is old hat when it comes to Middle school since he is a big 8th grader now. Hehehe. For Kaylee it meant new school and new experiences. We spent 2 days at the school getting used to the surroundings and finding her classes. She is very excited! And a bonus, she gets to ride the bus!

Chesney and Jaycie started preschool this year as well. Can you say excitement overload! Chesney goes on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Jaycie goes on Tuesday and Thursday.

Here are some pictures of Chesney and Jaycie's first day of school. Kaylee is to cool for first day of school pictures and Tom, well he is just Tom.

The newest member to our clan

We were lucky enough to add a new addition to our family. Introducing Nike! She is a little dachshund. She is 3 years old and came to us fully trained! She is a perfect addition! She loves the kids and plays with them all constantly! She had taken to Kaylee the most. She sleeps with her, unless Kaylee is gone then she is with me. She loves to play ball and soccer! Squeaky toys don't last long with her (about an hour) but it sure is entertaining watching her play with them. Everyone (including Tom) loves having her around.

I absolutely love it when she begs. We call her our little groundhog.
