Back to School and Football!!!






Summer is over!!! I can't believe how fast this summer went by! We were busy the whole time and have made some fun memories but I can't remember the summer going by so fast before like it did this year!! The boys were pretty excited to start school. The only thing they didn't like was not being able to stay up till 11 or midnight and not sleeping in till 9 or 10am!!! I agree with them on that one!!! Tyler was super excited to start 6th grade. Here in Utah, they start intermediate school in 6th grade which means they start having 6 teachers instead of just 1!! He was a little nervous, hoping to make it to each class and remember where they all were and so far so good!! And he likes his classes too!! Ryan started 4th grade!! I can't believe he only has 2 more years in elementary school!! My kids are growing up way too fast!!! He loves his teacher too and is so excited to get working! Jacob is now in 2nd grade and thinks his teacher is way cool! She is perfect for Jacob and I think it will be a great year!! Football also began the same week school did!!! All 3 boys are playing this year, so ask me at the end of the season how that went!! Practices aren't that bad cause I have some awesome friends and we carpool to 2nd, 4th and 6th grade practices. I would probably go through a tank of gas a day if we didn't do that!!! When games start September 11th every Saturday we will be watching 3 football games so that day might be a little different...I told Jeff, we will get out the big cooler every Saturday morning, fill it up with drinks and food and head out for the day!!! I am really hoping that we don't have too many overlapping games, I wonder how lucky I will be on that one!!! So, our lives are once again extremely busy, but what household with 3 boys isn't??? Just normal to us!!! And, I did fit in dinner at home for 3 of the last 4 football nights...LOVE MY CROCKPOT!!! HAHA

My mom came to visit us for a week and we thought what a fun time it would be to drive out to the Grand Canyon and see the North Rim! It was so fun!! The North Rim isn't as popular as the south rim but it is still sooo beautiful!!! I had a few times that my anxiety kicked in with the heights and when my kids get near the edge, I get the worse pain in my stomach but we all made it out alive and had an awesome time!!! HAHA
