1st day of school

As much as I was excited to get back on a schedule, it was still hard to send the boys off to school today. Randall did great. I had to make him come back and give me a hug goodbye when I dropped him off. They were outside on the playground still and he wanted to go play. Ivan was a little more cautious. He stayed holding my hand until it was time to go in the classroom. He didn't cry, I did, but he was strong. It is hard not to be the one protecting my boys from the world. Below are the pictures we took this morning before I took them to school.

Articles of Faith

Ivan and Randall, over the past 18 months have memorized all 13 articles of faith. Randall passed his 13 off the day before his 5th birthday in July and Ivan is 6 years old. We told them when they passed them off we would buy them each there own pair of roller blades, which they were so excited for. They have only been able to use them once or twice because it is too hot outside right now. I am sure we will be outside roller blading all fall and winter. When we did Ivan's video the batteries on the camera died right before he finished so we had to do his 13th article of faith on a seperate video taping.






Cheyenne even learned a few from listening to the boys.
