Back to School!!

Hello Friends and Family,
Summer is over, the rain is falling and the clouds are here to stay! Boo hoo!
Labor day weekend, R and I drove A to BYU Idaho, in Rexburg. It was a quick trip! We had the Prius busting at the seams, thank you to R's perfect Tetris packing skills. She had two plastic bins and one suitcase, laptop, camera equipment and bedding. We stayed in Island Park with the Crellins and the next morning took A to her new home at BYU-I. We helped her unpack, R set up the computer, took her to Walmart, Albertsons and she was good to go! She's having the time of her life, I hope she's studying too.

Her roommate, Rachel, from Highlands Ranch, CO.

Her other roommate, Michelle from Kent WA.

And her dorm chef....uhm....I didn't remember paying for this service.

r started middle school last week and is on the basketball team. He absolutely loves being in Junoir high. He comes home every day with a list of homework to do and he doesn't even mind it. (I'm sure it'll wear off soon!)

E will be attending Bellevue College to work on her Associates degree while in high school. She starts school tomorrow. She's been taking her driver's education course and I have a built in chauffer. She's driving well, but r doesn't like her to drive us anywhere because he says it takes too long to get out of the driveway!
E was invited to homecoming and was excited this week to find a dress for the occasion. Only three more formal dresses to buy in the next two years! Yeah!

S is doing great. I had to change her blog address, for some reason I can't get on the old one to update the information.

I'm trying to adjust to having just two kids at home and cooking for 4. It can be quite quiet on the weekends!

R has been building a retaining wall on the side of the house. Every Saturday morning the kids try to hide to avoid hauling bricks all day.

Warning....when kids leave home for college, the dog stays!!! :-)

So that's the update....I'll be sending out S's new blog address this week!
