First day of school

The first day of school crept up on us this year probably faster than it ever has. Maybe because it started earlier than it ever has. Geez, I expect it to start in July within the next couple years or so!

September (9) - 4th grade: She continues to amaze us with her "smartness". She reads well beyond her reading level (she's currently in the middle of the 6th Harry Potter book), she flies through her math papers, and has become even more of an amazing speller! She is enjoying her new school and thinks it's pretty cool, but thinks it has a dumb name!

Kya (7) - 2nd grade: So far she is LOVING it! She has continued to love reading (and do very well at it) and has really taken a liking to math, and is becoming an amazing speller as well! She has adapted well to her new school and especially to not knowing anyone in her class when school started. She's already made a bunch of new friends.

Logan - Age 4 - Preschool: I have been taking Logan over to the Literacy Center here in Lehi. It's a free community program that is run by volunteers and focuses on early reading. So far they haven't done much, and sometimes it's frustrating because it's only 40 minutes long which is barely enough time to drop him off, come home, and go back and get him. But hey, it's free and he seems to enjoy it.....most days! And it gives him something to do.

Running to catch the bus. There was no need, we were there PLENTY early!

Waiting to get on the bus.

One of Kya's best friends, Courtney (who is Ariel's little sister), is actually only in kindergarten this year. They started a week later, so we had to take more pics on her first day of school!
