First days of 4th grade, 2nd grade and even Kindergarten!

It's that time of year again!
SCHOOL!!!
I love school so much! I always have. It is so exciting to start fresh and fun new clothes and learning so many new things.
It is so exciting to see the girls get ready and feel their excitement, too!

Sarah and Rachel started the day before Emma did, so here are their first day pictures:

4th Grader Sarah! AND 2nd Grader Rachel!


It is so nice to have someone to share this fun with!

The next day was Emma's first day!

Emma couldn't wait to wear her new dress!

To my sweet daughters,
I love you so much, it almost hurts!
Be strong and brave and kind and happy!
Do your best, be a good friend, and learn all you can!
Play hard at recess and laugh out loud!
Then, please come home and hug me.
Please tell me about your day, good and bad.
I am proud of who you are already and of who you will become!
I love you forever!

We are here, we are here, we are here!!!

Sorry, I couldn't help it. I started typing and it just came out. Too much watching "Horton Hears a Who" I guess!

Sorry, I have been MIA for a while! I think that we are really working on getting into this schedule. Richard has been taking tests non-stop for the past 2 weeks and going to Open Labs and Study Groups. He is doing great! He is always so nervous, but has been doing great! I sure love ya hon! Richard, you are awesome!

First, I wanted to post the long promised picture of the new "Girl Room" at our house! I was nervous to have them all together, but it's great! The girls love it! They are more patient and more kind to each other. The play together a lot more and they are reading to each other more! What a cool thing!

The New Room!

Emma (almost 3yrs), Sarah (6 1/2 yrs) & Rachel (5 yrs)

We have been settling into our new city and trying to see the new things around us. The Zoo is just like 20 mins from us, so since it was opening week and free, we said, "Let's go to the Zoo!!!!". We brought a good friend from the ward with us, Naya, and had a great time. It reminded me so much of going to the zoo with the girls back home!

Sweet little Emma enjoying the really nice day!

In front of the monkeys, we stopped for a quick picture and Rachel had to take a picture of me, taking a picture of her!!! Gotta love it!!!

It's that time of year here and I got to register Rachel for Kindergarten this week! What a blast! It is going to be amazing to have Sarah and Rachel at the same school for the same time. All day Kindergarten. That is a new adventure for us! You are amazing Ms. Rachel!

Now for the Easter pictures! Our first Easter in the Midwest was great! The girls are such cuties and loved doing the Easter Egg Hunt and talking of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. We had Regional Conference that day and we had a BBQ with friends!

Sweet little girls!

This post was so long! Sorry! I hope you guys forgive the catch-up!!!

Sarah's First Day of Kindergarten!

On Tuesday, August 28th, 2007 Sarah started her first day of kindergarten at Highland Elementary School. Her teacher is Mrs. B and she loves her! Sarah's birthday was just a few days later and has had the chance to be the VIP for the week. She is the line leader this week, all week long! Sarah loves school and talks about it all the time!
