Back to school (already)

School started for the girls on Aug 19th. Saydee was so excited, she has been counting down the days all summer long. She loves school!! She is in Mrs. Bess' 2nd grade class this year and is excited to learn all she can and work on her reading. The night before school she was just talking and talking and talking about everything she was going to do and finally we said Saydee settle down and she said I Am just so Excited. She loves life and wants to do everything so possibly can. We love you Saydee and we are so Proud of you!!

Skylar on the other hand is ready to drop out of school, she gets so nervous for change. She is in Mrs. Armstrong's first grade class and she thinks she is really nice but after the first day said she is quitting school because it is too long. She has no time to go shopping or watch TV, it is dinner time when she gets home. When I asked her what her 5 favorite things for the day were she said She loves sitting in a desk, she likes eating lunch at school, she liked the books that Mrs. Armstrong reads to them, and they got an otter pop at recess. The second day I asked her what her 5 favorite things were and she said she had 20 favorite things!! I am so glad that she is getting more comfortable. I just love my girls!! They are so different in so many ways but they are both such a joy in my life and I love being their mom!! Skylar sitting at her desk doing her bell work

What's Ridge up to???

notice all three cupboards behind him are open

maybe she can't see me??

I'm outa' here

Nothin' Much!!
Just keepin' mom busy!!




Adoption

We have had Echo here in Cedar with us for awhile and it has been fun for the kids to be able to ride more often. Even Ridge has enjoyed it. Sometimes Echo looks a little lonely for his horse friends he left in St. George. He always has liked company. BUT
I didn't know that we were looking to adopt,while I was working on Saturday, Zach thought it would be fun for the kids to go see the wild horses at the BLM Wild horse adoption. The kids loved it, balloons, posters, keychains and what do you know they talked dad into adopting a horse!! This is our new baby!!

He doesn't have a name yet, any suggestions??? Ryder suggested Thunder because it was such a rainy day yesterday.
