My sister Jennie was able to let us in on accessing her Lion King tickets about a year in advance! We are always so thrilled when a great opportunity comes to SLC so we don't have to fly to NY!:)
The production was so great and I wish I would have insisted that the boys come too but at almost $100 a pop, I didn't want to pay for anyone that wasn't grateful to see it:). I will insist next time though as they would have enjoyed it! Another fun night! Thanks Jennie!
The BYU Football team does a Friday night fireside before they play their Saturday games. We had to go as they were at a church right by us and we had it planned for YW before our release. It was so fun to see the players in a spiritual setting. One of the "islander big boys" played a medley piece on the piano that he had "arranged." We later found out that he had done that piece playing by ear. I thought they did such a great job and gave inspiring messages. I have so much respect for Bronco and the boys as they carry all of the expectations and hopes of the students, fans, and the church on their shoulders!
We were able to meet and greet the players after the fireside! I wish I would have studied up to know more of them beforehand:). Great experience!
Our most favorite thing to do in the fall is take our neighbor's dog for a walk each night! She is SO cute and it is so fun to take her out!
The boys enjoyed reading outside. They have a book report due each month and also have to read at least 20 minutes a night-so sometimes they would just go outside where it felt so nice when the sun was going down.
We tried out the "Unlimited Laser Tag" one day. It was quite the workout for the kids running around in there for over an hour--game after game!
Cheese!
I took Kennedy bowling as I didn't want her knocked out cold in the laser tag room! Lots of fun with the kids and their friends!
The scouts did the Rain gutter races this year which was so fun...and almost as competitive as the Pinewood Derby!
The boys and their boats...
Cameron always adding the dramatic "pirate" effect to the pictures:). 
Kindergarten starts about a week later than the other grades so the teachers have time for one-on-one assessments with each new Kindergartner. Finally the day came and we were all SO excited!
Her cute classroom! She was a little nervous and does what I do...the nervous smile or laugh! I said my good-byes and was OK until another Mom in the ward started crying as she was also dropping "her baby" to Kindergarten:). We somehow made it through!
Just as we wiped away the tears, Kindergarten is over and our babies are home within what seems like a few minutes:). SO cute stepping off the bus!
A quick picture with the BFF's!
Off to Subway for a special "first day of school lunch!"
I then pulled the "good Mom card" out and took her to the park as well!
So fun to play...
...and have Mom do a photo shoot with her "tiny!"
Kenz!
What a fun first day of school!
...and many more to come!
We were able to meet the boys teacher the day day before school started at the meet and greet! We are in for a great year! The school had enough numbers at the last minute to have another teacher-so we are excited about Mrs. Smith as we hear she is GREAT in math!:)
Mikelle off as a big 8th grader this year! I told her to work hard but also "enjoy" as it was one of my funnest years! 
The boys up and ready to go!
Of course they have their traditional "Father's Blessing" the night before to help them through their year!
With the kids in school at least for a few hours a day...the Mom's get a minute to breathe! Our YW Presidency was released a few weeks before-so we decided to have a reunion lunch! You get to know each other pretty well working in callings in the church...so it's fun to keep connected!
I'll miss ya girls!
