First Day 2013

Supplies in hand, new clothes from head to foot, they are ready to go!

I can't believe that Emma is in 5th grade and Maycee is in 3rd grade!  They are so excited to start new years and learn new things.  Wyatt is continuing preschool at Miss Cynthia, where both Emma and Maycee went before Kindergarten.

Emma was placed into the Spectrum class for fifth grade.  It is the advanced learners class.  I am excited for her to be challenged a little more.  She is quite far ahead of her other peers in her class and while she would always help others in her class I want her to be challenged a little more.  She is reading on about a 10th grade level or more and can read well over 250 words a minute.  She finishes books way faster than I can afford to keep her supplied with!


Maycee has Mr. Whitten for the year, same as Emma had.  He is pretty laid back and relaxed which was fine with Emma but Maycee requires a little more structure so we will see how she does.  She is a smart girl too but doesn't like school like her sister and has to be pushed a little more to do what she needs. She is excited for 3rd grade however!


Wyatt didn't want to be left out this morning and he missed his sisters sooooo much and was way too bored with mom this morning.  I didn't realize just how much the girls kept him busy throughout the day until they weren't there anymore.  He is excited to start preschool again next week.  We have orientation on Thursday!  He is growing up into such a handsome young man!  And he is a little firecracker!  So much energy, just need to figure out how to channel it...


Miss Livvy is just along for the ride!  She is starting to show her own little independence and I love it!  She did not want to take pictures this morning!  She is so laid back and such a good girl!  I love her to death!



Brad and I are continuing to work, both of us full time.  Brad is finishing up the sidewalk replacement on South Temple at Temple Square downtown and I am still at Lakeview Hospital.  I split my time there now between the Geriatric Psych unit and the Medical Unit and am really liking it.  I'm getting some great experience as a nurse there.  I have one more class for my BSN and then school is done for me.  Maybe I can convince Brad to go back and finish...

We are chugging along with life, it's busy, busy!
Til next time!
