Labor Day Fishing

We spent Labor Day in the Uintahs hiking and fishing. What a beautiful day! All of the kids caught fish, luckily (Brady even caught the $2 fish- the albino!). I'm not sure why Jared bothered to get a fishing license- he spent the whole time baiting hooks and taking fish off lines. Esther came too, to make it a real "reunion" hike from last summer.






We took a bunch of pictures and someone's eyes were closed in every one. Oh well.
Esther leaves us soon for Georgia. That will leave a huge hole, but we wish her all the best.
These girls are growing up way too fast.
These two keep us on our toes!

Back to School

Brady's first day of preschool. Wednesday and Friday mornings at the elementary school. I wasn't going to do preschool at all, but the teacher called and said she had openings, so we tried it. He's having a great time, and I can get all of my errands done ALONE!

Hannah's first day of middle school. Vista Heights is a brand new school. She was pretty anxious about all of the different classes, and the rotating schedule, but has adjusted easily. Another new adventure- riding the bus!

First day for Emily (5th) and Brandon (2nd). Emily never gets the teacher she hopes for, but always ends up liking who she does get. If Brandon's brains don't leak out of all of the holes left in his mouth from losing teeth he should do just fine.
