Ty's First Day of Kindergarten

Ty started kindergarten a week later than the older kids.  He was SO excited!

Logan also thought he would be going to school

Ty walked right in and sat down at his desk.  

Logan tried to hug Ty goodbye, but Ty was much too busy doing his schoolwork.

It is always bittersweet sending these little ones to school for the first time.  The funny thing is the thought of crying didn't even occur to Ty.  He was pretty funny about the whole thing.  We love you Ty man!

Logan and Ty fun

These two boys get a LOT of time together everyday while the older kids are at school.

While the weather is warm, the sandbox is a frequent favorite.

Logan's Bag of Tricks

Logan loves to put treasures in his little backpack then dump it out...it is Mom's favorite

Big Kids' First Day of School

Austin and Scott changed schools this year to participate in the ALPS program.  They were both nervous about it, but had good attitudes.  Kate was excited to see her friends again.

The boys were feeling a little nervous...

It has been a bit of a tough adjustment, but Austin and Scott are making friends and enjoying their new school.

Hill Air Force Museum

As a last hurrah, we went to the Hill Air Force Museum.  Austin and Scott have been so interested in everything about wars, in particular World War II.  They thought this museum was amazing and patiently looked through it in detail.

Scott took Mom's phone in the Vietnam section and took these pictures.

It was so interesting, we will be back!

Hale Center Theater

Kate and Mom got to go to Hale Center Theater to Newsies.  We both love going to these plays!  Thanks Grandma Lewis for the birthday present!

Happy Birthday Lindi

The Bolke's invited our whole family to go up to this lake that their parents manage.  A few other families went too.  We had such a fun day!
