School

I never posted the pictures I took from the first day of school. Lennon and Abby are both doing wonderful so far. They both like their classes and their teachers. Lennon is in the 5th grade and Abby is in 3rd grade. Meghan is here at home with me. She has a January birthday so she goes to kindergarten next fall.

Yosemite

On Bill's birthday September 5, we went to Yosemite with his mom and Sister Kelly and her husband Ace and their kids. Surprisingly enough it was our first time there, but it won't be our last. It was a beautiful place and we had a lot of fun.

One of the kids favorite things to do in all of Yosemite was to ride on the shuttle bus standing up.

The kids playing in the sand.

Lennon, Abby and Meghan in front of the dried up water fall. I was pretty disappointed that we didn't get to see a good waterfall at Yosemite. We'll have to go earlier in the year next time.

Taking a little rest.

I think this is supposed to be John Muir.

Making a new friend!

He's 34 he can wear whatever he wants.

Our Scholars

Tonight we went up to the school for the Star test awards. Lennon and Abby both scored at advanced level in both Language Arts and Math. Way to go kids! We are so proud of you! Keep up the good work. My batteries died so I didn't really get a great picture.

Happy Birthday Lennon

We have a son that is a decade old. Double digits! It is so crazy.
Happy Birthday Lennon, We love you!
I took cupcakes to Lennon's class after school. No more 20 kids he has at least 30 which equals 2 cake mixes!
At dinner Bill said to me "we have had kids for ten years"
After dinner we went to a awards ceremony and then to Target for Lennon to spend his $25 gift card he won from the summer reading program at the Library. Then we went to Baskin Robbins for ice cream.

Go City

For Lennon to fulfill the requirements for his bear badge we needed to go to a high school, college, or professional sporting event. Since Sac City is really close we decided to go support our local team. Friday night Bill said there was a football game. We walked over to the school and when we got there it wasn't a football game it was a women's soccer game. We decided to go ahead and stay for the game. It was great! We had a fun time. The game was really good. They ended up with a tie 1-1. The Sac City team played a team from Mendocino. We scored first and then towards the end the other team scored. We'll have to go to some more games.

P.S. I did bring my camera. When I got it out to use it the batteries were dead.

Abby and Isabelle's Skating Party
