Too Cool for School

Some facts about this school year:

Garrett's teacher has also seen Bonanza, just like him
The girls chase Garrett at recess (and his friends)
In music they did a boring work sheet
There is a new crush going on (Emma)
The first hot lunch he ate was 90 something carbs
Shay does some school learning with mom, and is working on his numbers.
Alyza and Shay play really well together while Garrett is gone. When we drive by the school, Alyza calls for Garrett
Walking to school with the Gibbons and Kent is fun

Well, there are a few stats of the first week. We feel like Garrett is gone soooo long.. we start to miss him when the day is done. Then he comes home and makes Shay cry (sometimes) and we say, "Go back!"




This is not school related, but this hummingbird flew into our window and was injured. I tried to give it a drink of water to bring it alive and it flapped away and made me scream. If you know me, you know that birds and I are really not friends so that may be the last time I ever try to give one the kiss of life again.

Melancholy

I know this is a weird title for a post that includes all our summer fun, but I always feel this way before school starts. I never like summer to end and the threat of winter...although I am excited for Garrett to go to 1st grade. So, as to the summer fun...


As you can see, our fun really wore us out


Shay on a tractor at the petting zoo at Lehi's Thanksgiving Point. We came here w/ Matt's cousins Adam and Mindy who we visited in Elberta. They live where there is a church welfare dairy that Adam helps keep running.


Our Fam at Aunt Marylee's (Matt's Aunt), her home is in SLC. Her house is a vacation in itself, it is beautiful and relaxing.


Admiring the Dino's at the museum at Thanksgiving Point.


Another highlight of our trip--Cabella's. We bought nothing, it was the cheapest entertainment ever for my hunter enthusiasts.


My little dudes duded up for the rodeo. They went w/ their dad.


Shay wins the blue at the county fair for biggest sugar beets. He was very excited!


This is always a summer favorite. Happy school starting to everyone, hope you all had fun too.
