First Week of 2nd Grade

Morgan wanted to try on all of her clothes

the night before for a fashion show.

Hallie didn't want to try on her new clothes

until she saw how cute Morgan looked, then

we couldn't take the clothes off of her.

Jackson wanted to model his new school

clothes too, and before we knew it,

we had a little gangsta on our hands.

I probably shouldn't post some of Jackson's

pictures on here because his hands are

making so many different signs & I don't

want to offend anyone.

Where he got it, I have NO idea!

Yeah, Jackson's clothes ended up being a

little too big for him. Maybe that's why

the crazy Kung Fu kid came from out of him.

Hallie was excited for Morgan to

go to school. Hallie put on the same

outfit as soon as she woke up.

Morgan on her first day of 2nd grade!

I remember Morgan's first day in Kindergarten &

she was in tears because she didn't want me to leave.

(one of her outfits from the night before)

Here she was though, on the first day of 2nd grade

ready to start in a different place with no tears!

She has loved her first week of school. I think

because there hasn't been any homework yet.

However, we have heard about a ghost, or 2 or 3

ghosts that were at her school. I asked her if

she and her friends actually saw the ghost in the bathroom

and she said, "A girl saw a person in the corner

by the ceiling with a white sheet on it & she came

and told me and my friends."

My response, "Morgan, if that same girl came

and told you it was raining chocolate syrup

outside, would you believe her?"

I could see the light clicking in her head- "No!"

and then "Oh"

Yeah maybe we shouldn't believe that girl.

There hasn't been any more mention of ghosts. :)

Here we go 2nd grade!

A Fun Summer Day

We have been so busy this summer, that we haven't had much time to just play. So, one day, when things were finally slow, we played.First we went to visit Grandpa & Grandma Nuttall. Jackson loved playing a game with Grandpa where they were shooting each other with rubber darts. Jackson definitely made Grandpa & Grandma smile with his rules for the game.

Then we went to the BYU Bean Museum to look at all the animals. The kids loved it! Morgan felt bad she didn't bring a notebook so she could write about & draw all the animals they were looking at. So we took pictures instead.


You can tell who my calm kids are, and which kids have lots of energy. I think they resemble the animals they are standing next to very well. :)

After the Bean Museum we went and got ice cream cones which was Landon's favorite part. I think we need to have more days like this, especially when the kids say, as we're driving home, "Mom! You're the best Mom ever!"
