First Day of School!

The boys were so excited to go back to school yesterday! They woke up in the morning and said what a looooooong night it had been. Then, they got all showered, dressed, and ready for school by 7:30 and then sat around saying "is it time to go yet?" "I just want to get to school" "this morning is going so slow!" Jesse did wonderful going all day for the first time. He felt like such a big kid with his lunchbox, and didn't want any adult down at the road to pick him up when he got off the bus!

Wesley found Logan's 'school' supplies last night and decided to get artsy! I hope he doesn't think that is ok to do just because mommy took a picture of it.

Labor Day Campout

For Labor Day, we went and camped in a cabin at Zion's camp. It was perfect weather for playing in the lake and on boats. We also had a movie party that night in the cabin. The boys said they slept well, but mommy and daddy had a terrible time sleeping on the skinniest, noisiest mattresses ever! It was so fun to see my boys show off their swimming skills and bravery!

Last Hiking Trip

Nathaniel, Joshua, Cody, David, and Jeff went on one more hiking trip of the season before school started. They were gone three days and Joshua and Nathaniel both said it was a killer hike. Mommy and the other boys got to stay home and clean out the van to get ready to sell and pack for our last camping trip over Labor Day.
