Happy First Day of School

Out with the Old... and In with the New

Our old Elementary School...
R.I.P Old Woodstock
Ripped down this summer to make access and parking for the Brand New school
that was built behind our school all last year...
We watched as they tore her down, section by section for weeks :(

Woodstock Elementary... Where my siblings, myself, and my children went to school
My oldest was the last 6th grade class to go through the 6th grade pod

They managed to save this from the old building and now it's forever in our new building

Kenley is in 1st grade and Kelson is in 2nd...
I think they were more excited about their new lockers then they were of anything else

Here she is...
in all her Majesty...
Our new school is Born and open for Business

GORGEOUS!!

These kids are excited for school :)
So is their Momma...
School started August 22nd...
Stay Tuned for First day of School pictures tomorrow

Flashback to 24th of July

For those who are not from Utah, our Utah holiday is the 24th of July
(where the Mormon pioneers came to settle in the Salt Lake Valley)

We always set off fireworks for the 24th of July

Lovin some Sparklers

There was a new law this year, that you could set off Aerial fireworks up to 150 feet in the air
and...... you could set off these fireworks from June 26 to July 26...
before you could only do ground fireworks and fountains
only 3 days before and after the 4th and 24th of July...
the night's sky was exploding with fireworks all month!!!

Of course Aerial fireworks are like 50 bucks and above
and this mom couldn't afford that :(
so we settled with some pretty amazing fountains...
Luckily our neighbors had some pretty awesome Aerial fireworks to watch :)

Kelson was the only one posing for pictures...
the other two were off running with the neighborhood kids

Everybody say "Euuu awwwhhh Ooooooh"
How neato ;)

We had a Fantastical time...

On our last day of Camp... We went for a hike up and around Brighton

It was so beautiful and refreshing in the Mountain air...
