First Day of School 2010-2011
First day of school! First Day of School! I feel like we have great teachers this year for Ashlee and Zachary. They woke up before I did. I could hear them singing to ABC, 123 by Micheal Jackson. I made them blueberry pancakes with their favorite home aide syrup. I took them to their classroom, gave them a hug, and that was that! I can't believe another year is starting. They both are excited though and ready to conquer the world! Michelle and I are headed out the door right now to go pick them up and I am soooo excited to see how it went.

Provo and Benjamin 5K
Since Amy and Travis have been visiting from Georgia, we have been able to run in a couple races with Stephen (my very fast nephew). I get very nervous before the game, and the fist mile is always a killer, but I love coming across that finish line. I have finished in the 26th minute in both races. Ashlee and Zachary ran the Kids K's and won 1st and 2nd in their races. Below are a few of the pictures taken. To see ALL the pics of the races CLICK HERE.
