New school year!

 Gunner attended 7th grade orientation with some of his friends in the ward.

Then I took him to get his ID for school.

 Ashlynn also attended freshman bootcamp. no picture, she's too cool...

Sienna, Mason , and Rigdon all met their teachers for this year. New schools for everyone.

They had a good time and were pretty excited about starting.

 The first day of school brings so much excitement and a fathers blessing for everyone before they head out.

 The customary first day of school picture.
The boys were ready...

 Getting ready....

 Still getting ready...

 Still getting ready....

 Almost there....

 Ok. Good as it's going to get. apparently by this time cross eyes were it for Sienna.

 After they left I basked in the loveliness that is quiet.

I went to run errands and felt so free!!! I didn't have to be home by 12:00. I could just get my jobs done when I was ready.

I had never felt this way. It felt so unreal. I love my children to pieces I had just never had this kind of freedom.

I still got my jobs done and boy was my house tidy! I loved it!

 When school was over I went to wait for my littles at the bus. This is the first year I haven't had to drive to the bus stop to pick them up. With Andrew being the Bishop I finally talked him into moving them to the neighborhood school and so far I am thrilled with the schedule. Its so nice to have them come in the door at 2:40 instead of getting home at 4;20.

 I was a little shocked not to see any other mothers there to take a picture of their little angels getting off the bus....

Oh well I saved that embarrassment for my kids.
