A busy first week of school

There was a lot going on that first week of school.
The second day of school was the night of Cougar Kick-Off.  The kids looked so cute in their BYU clothes and loved being around other people who love BYU.  We waited for quite a while for these balloons.  Good thing I took a picture right after because Heidi's popped about 2 minutes later.  We were sad to find out that they waited until we moved away two years ago to start selling the cheer uniforms.  They have drastically dropped the price this year and there were no girl ones by the time we got there since they were selling them for $5 per piece.
The next night was back-to-school night.  Heidi is standing next to the orange face she made and then under her #24 train.  I also got a picture that she painted of herself.  We got to find out all about what Heidi will be learning about this year and how her teacher does homework, take-home reading books and all sorts of other things.  Her teacher is awesome!  She has a train theme, which is really fun.  Each row has a different train name (like Polar Express, Orient Express, Thomas the Train, etc.) and their motto is "First Graders Can Do Hard Things."  They read The Little Engine that Could and learned about not giving up that first week of school.
Pictures from August 24th and 27th
Our house finally looks like something!  Heidi loves to get out of the car every day after school and see what has changed.  She is a smart little girl and notices every little thing that changes on the house each day.
 
August 24th was National Waffle Day!  I really don't like making decisions, so I love celebrating days that decide for me what's for dinner.  I love waffles!
Brynlee looked so cute all ready for church.  She is very good at sitting up and loves to stand.  I just propped her against the wall and she stood there pretty good for almost 5 months old.

End of August: Kindergarten and Sports

Hap kept helping me take care of the Memmott's yard. Their raspberries are amazing and have made me look into getting plants. I took the three little kids to the doctor for well visits. They are all healthy and growing. Brynlee was 49 inches tall and weighed 51 pounds, which is below 1% for her age. Lacey was 47.5 inches tall and weighed 43 pounds, about 10th percentile. Hap was 44 inches tall (25%) and 36 pounds (3%). I tried making cookies with all the sunflower seeds we got in lunches but they wouldn't really stick in the cookies and the kids wouldn't eat them that way. I thought they were good. Hap enjoyed his last morning home with just us by falling on my bed. He started kindergarten and loved it. Brynlee and Lacey were happy to show him how to ride the bus and how to get to class. He had a great day and told me all about it. I found squash bugs and eggs at the Memmott's so I helped them out by getting rid of what I could find. Their yard is so pretty; look at the...

Games and Birthday Parties

Hap loves school and comes home with the cutest projects. I am getting lots of stuff from the garden; I used the tomatoes to make taco soup. Cougar had a game in Orem so Hap played on this cool playground when we dropped him off. We got there a bit early so Cougar helped Hap for a while and then we left and went to the girls' soccer games. It was rainy. Cougar had a SWAT training for practice. Heidi had a Thursday Night Lights game against Provo. She did great. I found this cute picture on the school's Instagram the next day. I basically taught Heidi math again; we had many late nights doing math and I was so grateful when it was something I liked. Because Heidi's game was on a Thursday, we were able to have Lacey's party on Friday and Hap's party on Saturday. It was a busy weekend but it worked for us. Lacey invited her friends over for a rainbow party. Almost all of her friends were available that night so it made it super fun for her. Her friends that came are Ad...

Last Week of School 2021-2022

Hap was thrilled to have a couple friends come play while their parents were at high school graduation. Heidi was one of very few students to attend school that last week, it was mostly parties. Baseball started. They're not the best team but they've made more plays in one game than his team did all of last year so it's a lot more fun to watch. With just a few days left with just Hap at home we went on a trip to Costco and drew pictures. Heidi finally got her permit. We didn't leave enough time for her to retake the test the first time she took it (since they close at 5), and after realizing there were questions about points and insurance she read the handbook and then easily passed. Hailey picked the fabric and sewed this bag. My garden is growing and looks more green thanks to these tomato plants from my parents. My pumpkins are doing well, like usual, and had the cutest butterfly flying around them. Brynlee and Lacey made cards and crafts for their wonderful teachers...
