Busy Summer

Since school started today and summer is over, i thought i'd write an update. We've had such a good, busy summer this year! I picked up an extra day at work to save some money for school and the kids have been going to their grandmas. She has been taking them all over the place, they love it. Friday is my last day at work. Then I will only be working on saturday, which stinks money-wise. I got us summer movie passes again and we've been going almost every week. Most of the time, the kids ride their bikes and I run there. We've been to lagoon, crystal hot springs, jet skiing, a lot of camping, we went to east canyon with my family, park city and last weekend our friends cabin riding 4 wheelers and rowing in a raft on the reservoir. It was a perfect last little vacation for us. We are lucky to have really good friends we consider family. Our kids get along really well (there are 9 all together so it can get crazy sometimes) and we all have a great time when we get together. I'm turning 30 in a couple weeks (yikes!) and they are throwing me a birthday party this weekend. They've themed it "nerdy thirty" which is awesome! I'll have to post some pics.
I also start the nursing program at weber state on Monday (double yikes!). I'm nervous, but also really excited. I have already spent close to $1000 on textbooks. There are 15 required and about 5 other optional texts. It's very intimidating.
We had a crazy storm here this week and lost our new trampoline :( The kids have been so sad. Next time, we will have to do an in ground one or something. We did build a fire pit out there this summer and it has been fun sitting out there roasting marshmallows and veggie hot dogs.
I'm sad to see summer go, but we've had a lot fun too. We are going to be camping at Willard next weekend, so we still have one more thing to look forward to.

2nd grade

My little girl started 2nd grade today. I can't believe she's that old already. She has Mrs. Braun this year and says she's nice. She did scrape her knee at recess, but otherwise had a good day.
