After reading over everyone's blogs about their kids first day of school, I've concluded that I'm the only mother that was excited for school to start! Easton was bored out of his mind half the time during this summer, the other half he was fighting with Avery. He is most definately happier in his element, the classroom. He won the award for the highest first grader in the history of the school for reading last year, during the summer the only thing he read was the cereal box. 3 days into school and he's reading 2 different novels......What does Mrs. Maughn have that I don't? Maybe it's Avery. He has no one to bug him at school or maybe it's the award program every month where he gets to go in front of the school everytime he hits a milestone in his reading. Or maybe it's the alustrious Abby Graham, (j/k Easton!) Whatever it is I'm thankful that Easton has his wonderful class to go to for another year. Last year he learned and then tried to teach me how to make a power point presentation, maybe this year he'll teach me how to make my own website! Remember when my son turned 7 and became smarter than me.....so sad.
Look for Part II and III of first days of school. All three kids start 3 different days, ugh! Good for them, they each get their own day, bad for me they're not all in school for another week!
Here he is in all his cheesiness! Could he be happier to be going to school?!
Notice Abby in the forground? She really is adorable and Easton thinks she's swell ; )

We finally arrived at the Utah Fan Fest. It was at Rice Eccles Stadium. All the Utah sports athletes were there, signing autographs, playing games, or dishing out ice cream. The kids went sledding down real snow with the ski team. Were able to yell "for!" with the golf team. Watch the longest hands up stands up game in history with the gymnists. Shoot hoops with the basketball team. Serve up some heat with the tennis team. They dunked the mens baseball team in the dunking booth. Learned to be butterflies with the swim team. And ate Bryers UTAH UTES ice cream! After all that as we were walking to the car the football team started to arrive and they were able to get pictures with their favorite players.
Jamie Hunter and her son, invited some friends over to play on their slide. The kids had so much fun. We arrived at 1:00 and I had to yell at them to get off of it at 4:45. They finally came home, all in tears. There were only a few bumps and bruises as the boys found it more fun to go up the slide and the girls still wanted to go down the slide. For the most part they all played very well together.
At Wheeler farm the kids wanted to go and play in the playhouse. No big deal right? We scooted them along thinking we adults could sit and chat in the shade of this big tree. We hadn't even sat down when Avery started screaming. I thought "ok, who did what?" She ran over to me screaming "It stung my in the eye!" Apparently a bee flew into her eye and stung her on the corner of it, right where tears come out. Good thing we had Becky the eye girl with us. She looked at it and said in missed her actual eye ball, and gave her magic gum to make it quit hurting. She didn't even have the magic treat unwrapped, when Rhys came running out screaming holding his eye. Yes, that's right he got stung in his eye as well. To weird. He also go the magic gum, and we left the crazed bees and went for slurpees.
