First day...

Just like that summer is done and they are off to 1st and 3rd grade!
Can't even believe it, but so excited for them!
It's so fun to see how grown up Caleb is getting. He is super excited for 3rd grade. Last night we were at the school's open house and he confidently talks to his teacher, no hiding behind mom and dad. He is becoming such a young little man , ready to take anything on! Caleb is a leader and just loves to learn...constantly reading and trying to gain knowledge in everything! He such a good helper and looks out for others. We are so proud of him.


And what a big year for Ethan...every day, all day. Sure going to miss having him home with Levi and me a couple days a week. Ethan is full of excitement, but lots of nervousness too for 1st grade. Yesterday he was constantly reminding both Levi and me how he was going to school everyday this year...I think he was just reminding himself of that. Ethan is so loyal and such a protector....always has his brothers back. He is such a good listener, like a little sponge just soaking up all the info. Ethan is a hard worker, always pushing himself to the next level. He is a great reader...started reading chapter books this summer! We are so proud of him.

Our prayer this school year is that both boys continue to grow in their love for Jesus and to use their talents to further His kingdom!!

We Love you Caleb and Ethan!!

Last week of summer...

Caleb and Ethan start school tomorrow, yes tomorrow! Both of them weren't up before 8:30am this morning...tomorrow school will start just before 8am. Should be interesting. So this past week was their "last week of summer" and it was a fun filled week! It started off with some skiing and knee boarding...


Of course we had to go to the fair a night too! The boys had lots of fun there with Grandparents, Aunts, and Uncles...



All my siblings were in town! So fun to have the whole family together...



My sister Kate got married to Josh. Kevin, the boys, and I were all in the wedding...





And to end the week, we had a Birthday party for my Grandpa who turned 97...
