School Time!

I am a little behind on posting this - but oh well.  Life - you know.

All ready for the first day of school - and the year ahead.
Kelly is doing his same 'ole thing - hasn't changed much.  Still teaching high school English - seniors mostly - but is also the advisor for the yearbook, newspaper and the head golf coach.   Yea, he stays plenty busy.  He really does enjoy his job.  It fits him rather well.  He is loving Star Valley fall - his favorite season by far.  If he's not golfing he is on his bike.  He loves to mountain bike up the canyon.  Hey - cheaper than therapy!

They are growing up so much!  I am seeing that they just won't ever stop.  I'll be saying that for decades, I realize.

Reese is in the fourth grade this year - and that means a change of schools for her--  4-6th graders attend school at Osmond Elementary.  She has enjoyed the change so far.  She is really enjoying being a bit older (cry, sob, weep).  She also loves her teacher -Barbara Bagley.  She is so excited for dance to begin again and her mom to get busy with piano lessons again!!  :  )  She's a doll.

Here's nerdy Brady!  I don't know exactly what is going on in this picture - just Boo being silly. And trying to antagonize the mean mom with the camera.  Brady is in Middle School now! Crazy!  He is one great 7th grader.  He thinks he has the locker thing all figured out and he generally ends up where he needs to be.  He opted out of 7th grade football for golf with his dad -a good choice we think!  He is loving tagging along with Kelly to high school golf practice most days and he schools those older kids real nice!

Rae - is one busy girl!  She is having so much fun in her life - it is nearly impossible to rein her in!  She is now officially a freshman at Star Valley High School - and her locker is (much to her saddness and dismay) right outside Kelly's classroom!  He he he!  She is really enjoying High School and loves that there are so many more student to talk to everyday!!  She is working hard at Brave Cadets -and is finding out just how much time that takes.  I think she's doing well at it and having fun too.  She is just really sore every night.
And the special needs wolverine?  How's he doing?

Well . . .

He is still VERY special . . . .   and a little more girlie than usual thanks to Rae!  Funny kid!

Well, here we go - off on yet another year of school!  
And just think - I only have sixteen more years of "first days" to go!  
Yipeeeee!
