The second day of school

We are already in the second week of school and every day has been a fashion show.  Ally is loving kindergarten.  She likes her teacher and all of the friends that she has made.  Her favorite part of the day is recess when she loves to go on the swings.  

Ally's School

The school is brand new so it's all really nice.  I posted some pictures mostly for the Grandmas, but it doesn't even do the school (or Ally) justice :)  

This is looking back at the main office building from inside the school.  Below is the kindergarten playground.  They haven't finished the big playground yet.  

First Day of School!

Ally loved her first day of school.  She came home boasting, "it was the best day ever and I get to go back again tomorrow!" 

Another trip to the ER

We made it home Sunday with only minor scrapes and bruises.  Apparently that was too good to remain because while in the bath, Bryce fell and split open his chin and had to get stitches.  He was really tough and didn't even cry until they were actually stitching him up.  Of couse, I was crying too, especially because I had to hold him down.  I am sure this is just the beginning of our adventures in the ER.  

Our Vacation

Lake Powell

We had a blast at Lake Powell swimming, tubing, hiking...

hunting for treasure...

fishing...

and most importantly, relaxing...

The funniest part was trying to convince Ally to go tubing or down the waterslide while Bryce was throwing a fit because we wouldn't let him.  No wonder he finished off the trip with stitches!  

Sedona

We camped in Flagstaff on our way to Lake Powell and in Sedona on our way home.  Both places were absolutely beautiful.  We checked out some ruins, a lava flow, swam in a stream, and Will did some mountain bike riding.  We set up our tent in Sedona minutes before a huge down-pour and the kids slept through the loudest thunder I have ever heard- it shook the ground!
