On the first day of first grade I'll tell you what he did...


Hyrum made the switch to First grade and ALL day school! I was having a hard time with it at the end of kindergarten because I LOVE the kindergarten schedule...BUT, he got a great teacher and he was excited to take his lunch so I finally let him go to first grade. :) This of course, is the first day of school picture, but, it's the Mommy version. Here is the Hyrum version:
Silly boy!

So we all walked down to Westmore and waited by Hyrum's door- his class has the castle on the the door-until the bell rang. Then he went inside and left for the rest of the school day- ALL day!

Luckily Weston and I had Liesel come and hang out with us and she kept us entertained for half the day! We went to the library, got doughnuts at Macey's, made zucchini bread and played with the kitty.
Here's the two kids...
Finally it was time to pick Hyrum up- he RAVED about school all the way home! His table got the most table points for being the quietest and fastest to get cleaned up and he got the first turn with the drink pass because he was being so good- that's my boy! After school, we ate a snack and went bowling at Fat Cats which was a ton of fun. They had the bumpers up, the rack to roll the ball down, and the balls were even light enough for Weston to hold by himself. It was a great first day of school party!
When Zach got home Hyrum was telling him how school is actually not all day, he only goes for half the day... I guess he figured he'd be gone until bedtime so he was pleasantly surprised. That's a relief!

Such a cute first grader! I think Bryson is in denile that Hyrum is taller than him. They are both getting so big!

Oh! How much fun! We miss being close to our friends and family and we especially miss all the family friendly things in Utah, like schools, activities, etc...:). You'll have to let Zach know Joe is expecting baby number three in April. Elle is about to turn 4 and Hyrum just turned 2. I am procrastinating a real blog as I know I will become obsessed and never get anything done. I haven't even looked at the family blogs since Joseph was in Baton Rouge for 7 weeks. He is home now and we are getting back to "normal":). Thanks for your updates! We hope to be back in UT soon!
