All of August and half of September!

Uh, wow. Where did I lose 6 weeks? I blame school. It starts, then all the lessons and activities start, and our days are just busy, fun, and happy. Here's what happened the last few weeks: 

We finally got up to Ashton to try Five 11 Main. It was delicious, but pricey. It gave Amelia more driving time:



We registered Cooper for junior high (7th) and Amelia for high school (10th). After taking a few hours to find their classes and lockers, we went out to lunch:


                Amelia helped Coop find all his classes at the junior high.


Amelia refused to let me take a picture in the school, where all her friends and cute upperclassmen were. So here she is in the parking lot. 😂 You can see "Madison High School" waaaaaay in the back.


As always, we have our back-to-school dinner at Pizza Pie Cafe. This was literally the last day of summer we had.


First day of school!

As if school beginning wasn't enough, we had an overnight ward youth conference three days after school began in SLC. It was so much fun, but soooooo hot!


Shortly after the youth conference, we had the Eastern Idaho State Fair. 




Since then, we've had our Homecoming spirit week, a fun etiquette dinner for YW/YM, a baseball slip-n-slide game, Cooper beginning ballroom, and settling into school and homework. 



Up next is all the fun autumn activities, Halloween, and Nutcracker practices begin. Cooper will be playing Fritz this year, and Amelia has a solo along with dancing in the Spanish and Arabian dance. She's understudying for the Snowflake dance again. Last year, she ended up dancing in it! 

I'll try to be better about posting. We have so much going on with school, church, and home responsibilities and activities sometimes get overwhelmed with keeping up. 😊
