Lake Powell

We had the awesome oppurtunity to go to Lake Powell this past weekend with Kevin's dad, and it was the BEST time ever!! All in all we probably spent 30 Hrs on the lake and we had a BLAST! Every morning we would get up really early to get on the lake and spend all day swimming, tubing, exploring, rock jumping, seashell hunting, eating, and just hanging out, and at the end of the day we would drive back to our hotel and get showered and go out to eat! The kids thought it was the best place ever! They never wanted to leave, even after spending almost 12 hrs in one day on the lake! We all slept VERY well every night (to say the least!) We are so lucky to have a Papa that loves his grandkids and will do anything to make them Happy!! Thankyou Papa for a very fun weekend! Showing us their muddy hands

"FIRST"

Yesterday donned a new school year, the girls were VERY excited to start the new year!! We have a lot of "firsts" this year here are some of them!!

1. Brand new school, "first" year opened!

2. "First" time walking to school, no more buses!

3. Hadlee is a "first" grader this year, her "first" day staying all day, and "first" day eating lunch at school! (WHEEW...that was a big one....) but she did awesome!

4. We tried Early Bird this year, might be a "first" or a last!! (morning's rough, but having them home earlier is great)

5. Because of the early schedule Hadlee woke up before 7, that's a"first" for her!!

6. Noah and I joined the girls for lunch at the school for the "first"day of school!

7. I was the "first" one up in the house yesterday, (Kevin is ususally,well let's be honest....., ALWAYS up before me!)

8. If you write and say "first" a lot it starts to sound wrong!

Well there is a recap of our "first" day of school a lot of fun and new things for us and we're excited to see what else the new year brings. Hope everyone had a great day!!
