Off to School


Cali walking her sissy to school. I am not sure who was more sad to see Madison off, me or Cali. We both get so excited when 3 pm rolls around and we get to go get our Maddie! 


I absolutely hate when summer comes to an end and I have to send my kids off to school. I get this horrible pit in my stomach of nervousness and dread but they were both SO excited this year. Madison is now in 1st grade at Wildfire and has an amazing teacher, Mrs. Yancy, so I couldn't be happier. 
Neighbor Friends: Arden, Madison, and Audrey off to school

Cali is in her last year of preschool and now goes 4 days a week to La Casa de Cristo. Her teachers are cute little grandmas that are so loving...the perfect combination for preschoolers!


Cali was all smiles for her first day!
I am so grateful for my darling husband who gives both of our girls the most amazing blessings before the school year starts. They look forward to their special blessings and individual promises and you can feel the Spirit so strong in our home during these times. The blessings are great reminders of the love that our Heavenly Father has for us. I hope everyone is having a great year so far! 
Our First Day of School Treat, not a #2 pencil, but a #1!

Wow, welcome back to blogging. Seriously, 2 posts within the last week or so...that's very impressive. You have such a cute family! I can't believe you and Sarah both have 3 children under your care! Where did the time go?!
Hey, I may or may not be in the Phoenix area next weekend. My parents are going down to visit my brother who's at Midwestern. I'm probably going as the designated babysitter so they can all go to my bro's white coat ceremony. I want to sneak away and visit you though. Get me your phone #.
Love ya.
