1st day of School 2009

Well, it's the first day of school in 2009.

Addison is off to new adventures as an 8th grader entering the doors of South Cache in Hyrum. He has grown so fast. It truely seems like yesterday that he was getting on the bus for the first time to go to Kindergarten in River Heights. Since then he has been at Spring Creek Middle School, Willow Valley Middle School and now South Cache before he enters Mountain Crest. He is a great student and I have never worried about him. He has a great mind (like his dad) and likes to do well. He will (is) become a great leader, man, husband and father one day. I love you Addison and could not have asked for anything better.

You are and always will be, my boy.

I LOVE YOU!!

Ada and Avery are off to another year at Mountainside in Mendon. Ada will be in Mrs. Cook's class for second grade and Avery will have Mrs. Keller in 3rd grade. They are close in age and for the most part are really good friends. They are lucky to have eachother to ride on the bus with and look out for eachother at school. They even have classrooms right next to eachother.

Ada did great in first grade last year and is so excited to begin a new year in second grade. She is a smartie and tries to do her very best. She is a great reader which she loves to do. It is sad for me to think that my "baby" is already in second grade. It takes a toll on me from time to time. It saddens me to see all my kids grow so fast.

I LOVE you Ada and I am the luckiest, most blessed mother for having a beautiful, loving, wonderful spirit sent to me as my daughter.

I will cherish you forever and ever.

What can we say about Avery! Boy! I love this kid! He is so full of life. He has such an innocence about him. He wants to do good in all he does. I love his infectious smile and his silly whit! He is entering 3rd grade which is a transitioning grade. They are not little anymore and are required more hard work and learning, which is good. He struggles from time to time when it comes to communication, but he is a great student and will go far. I am so proud of his progress and he is my hearts joy and happiness. I love you Avery very much, forever and ever!

One more year started, a few more tears shed. It's all good. This is life. Make it a good one!
