My luck that they are g
Ready or not....it's back to school time!
😜
Kate is an 8th grader!
She's lov'in the vintage Reebok's
from the 80's!
{shoes I would have worn}
😌
we had to move Hannah and Brie
into their apartment in Provo.
Over the years, between the older four moving back 'n forth
from home to Provo, this is
the eleventh time moving stuff!
😂😅
I can't even begin to tell ya....
The night before we held our
Ooof!
Truth be told,
I'm not ready for another one
to fly the nest....
Brie is not overly excited either...haha
But we are trying to be brave!!!!
Hannah and B have a great time
together tho. They've been
co-workers this summer
and now get to be roomies.
So fun for them!
We celebrated move-in day and
first day of school with
one of our favorite meals...
Back To School Dinner....
Kate got her wisdom teeth out almost
The theme I used
is the 3rd verse of
one of my favorite hymns
"How Firm a Foundation"
{idea from MarciCoombs on Etsy}
"Fear not, I am with me; oh, be not dismayed...
for I am thy God and will still
give thee aid..."
Such a comforting and applicable message
for the whole family,
especially for those with
big changes happening.
B, with moving away from home
& starting college,
and Kyleigh embarking motherhood here
in a few months.
A little gift we gave our Primary kiddos
the day before school started.
Here's a Back to School tip....
Keep a folder each school year
for each child
to keep their school work in.
At the end of the school year,
or during the summer
go through it and only keep
what's important to them
{or you} for memory sake.
For example, a special assignment or project
that will help them remember that school year,
awards, grades, etc.
{As they get older it's usually
less and less
or nothing school work wise
they want to keep. lol}
Nonetheless....
Besides the folder, keep a storage bin
for each child.
After each school year put their folder,
filled with only the items they want to keep,
in their storage bin.
This system has worked well for us.
Also helps me feel somewhat organized
with all the paperwork.
😏
This is Brie's bin which holds the stuff
we wanted to keep from
Preschool to Senior Year.
When she's ready to move out for good and/
or get married it is ready to go with.
😉
**************
In other random family....
Poor Hannie has been sick...
walking pneumonia/bronchitis possibly????
She's so fetching tired,
but still in good spirits.
two weeks ago.
She seems too young for that, but
they needed to come out so they
don't affect her current
orthodontic work.
End of an era for us...
as everyone has now had their
wisdom teeth out...
It's been fun to look back on
pics and videos
and see how everyone
reacted coming out of anesthesia...
Kate, reacted similar
to how Emmsie did
{quiet and crying}
and Hannah
{confused and irritable}.
Kyleigh was plain frustrated and
in tears
wanting a pastry...
and B was just happy,
talkative and amazed!
Poor Kate!
*********
Do'in a little deep room cleaning now that
the girls aren't around as much....
{shhhh! don't tell. hahaha}
I love B's room.
She has her own distinct style and there are
several spots in her room that
make my heart happy.
Gonna miss that little lady.
But we are just pretending she is at
camp or something.
For only three or four nights.
Cuz honestly... she'll probs be up here on
the weekends like Hannah is.
Yay!
**********
The girls attended a few events with
the Utah Young Single Adult Conference
that was held over the course
of a few weekends.
Hoards of people.
The dance was hot and stinky
with a plethora of weirdos.
😂

In food adventures......
from Bismarck in Orem...served warm!
So delicious!
{Especially the Buttermilk Old Fashion.}
are mostly potato based...
Date with the hubs at
Awesome ambiance!
Very creative flavors,
but too sugary for my tastes.
Del Mar Seafood Taqueria in American Fork.
EXCELLENT barria tacos!
You gotta watch this!
My grape salad got woofed down at the
Neighborhood Picnic...
red and green grapes
cream cheese, vanilla greek yogurt,
a little bit of
shuga and crushed pecans.
Easy Peasy!
************
In entertainment...
Before Summer ended we played this!
It's kinda tradition.
We also played THIS for the first time!
Laughed my head off..trying to figure out
how to play.
It's fast paced and fun,
but I'm not good at it at all!
Yet...anyway.
😜
HE is another favorite comedian of mine,
next to Leanne Morgan.
B, Kate and I have been
watching this together.
So good!
