SO LONG TO SUMMER?!?!

8/18/08

DEAD MEN WALKING!

This day has been dreaded since early June and has rarely been spoken of since.

The 1st day of school has come all to soon and has passed without the agony that has been so anticipated.

New shoes, socks, boxers, backpacks, pencil boxes, glue sticks, rulers, t-shirts, shorts, they are all just pain killers to dull the painful fact that summer is now officially over!

The boys started school this morning at Rocky Mountain Elementary School in Lindon, they are now Cougars and proud of it!

Coley boy started the 4th grade this morning in Mrs. Staley's class, he LOVED it. He liked it so much he is excited to go back tomorrow? He came home with homework, a SUDOKU puzzle (this should be fun)? He made some friends, got to eat in the big kids lunch room and had all good things to say about school today!


Taggert had a rough night, he was pretty stressed about the whole new school, new grade, new everything and so he didn't get the greatest night sleep, he woke up, put on his new boxers (exciting new phase in a young mans life, grosses Mom out, but that's part of having boys) ate his breakfast and was ready to start 1st grade. After having Dad hang out at his class for 20 min he was finally ready to be his own man and fly solo! Below is a pic of him coming out, looks like he had a great day in Mrs. Aase's (pronounced Osa like ponderosa) class after all! Tagg made some friends, had a grilled cheese sandwich for lunch, liked the playground and will go back tomorrow. (Its Tagg, your not gonna get allot out of him)


The boys are also "Early Birds" this year which means they are on the early track, school starts at 8:00 am, this should be fun for all, a major adjustment for the whole family, no more rockstar late nights and sleeping in, well, not as many anyways!


Next Monday Yzzy starts pre-school! She cant wait, she's been carrying around her lunch box and backpack all weekend!
