I found my pictures

The camera was working this morning so I hurried and downloaded everything before it was too late.  Just the first day of school, Jensen on his new bike, and Carley's awesome hair.

I can't believe this.  I went to post pictures and the camera said "memory card error, no image".  I'm so mad!!!!!  I'm buying a new camera tomorrow!

I can't believe how soon we start school!!

I thought I would hate school starting on Aug. 20th which was also Jensen's birthday, but I was ready, and so were the kids.  They were anxious to get in and meet new people, and I was anxious to get them out of the house.  Not having a yard kind of limits us.  Jensen also started pre-school and learned on the first day that animals don't go to school.  He told everyone this.  the kid's school is huge with 1200 kids!  It is very nice though, and so far they like their teachers and we were impressed with how well things were organized.  There is also a law in Utah that the teachers are not allowed to ask for school supplies, it is all voluntary.  The kids had stuff waiting for them on their desks; this was different for us, so we saved some money.  

      For Jensen's birthday we went to McDonalds and had a little party.  He had a Diego cake, spongebob napkins and Micky Mouse plates and goody bags.  He picked everything out, and now that we don't have a McDonald's close by, this was a huge treat.  They had a great play place and all his Utah cousins came.  He got a new bike and still needs a lot of practice, and he got some games and toys.  It makes it so much fun for the mom when the kids get so excited!

We made it another week in Utah.  I've lost my momentum to unpack.  I feel like we can't do much more until we find out if we're staying in this house for good.  We met more people at church today.  So far, Brynn has the most girls age in the neighborhood so she is a happy girl.  Braden loves his soccer team and we go to his first tourn. this week.  I got to go to Urban outfitters and Anthropologie this weekend which made me a happy girl.  Jill and Whit you would love Gateway, the outside mall in salt lake.  Hope everyone is doing great.
