First Day Jitters!

So, today was the first day of school and I just had to share pictures of why my kids' teachers are gonna fall in love with them immediately! Aren't they just precious! You can totally see the nerves and the total lack of sleep, but that just makes them cuter. I'm glad they didn't know what their days would be like, or I probably wouldn't have been able to drag them out of bed!

Breje came home all stressed because she couldn't find 7th period and was way late. Poor Trayson had an even harder time at the end of the day, though. He somehow got put on the wrong bus and was headed halfway to the next town before he realized it! Meanwhile, mommy about FREAKED OUT when Breje got off the bus and hadn't even seen Trayson! Several frantic phone calls and two hours later, we were finally reunited. Poor Tray was pretty shaken up, but he got over it quick and was even still able to say that he had a good first day of school! What a trooper, huh?!

Friends, Food, Fun!

My friends and I decided that school shopping was a great excuse to get away from all our responsibilities, so we took off for a whole day of fun on Saturday! Although we mostly agreed that the priority was good food and a big juicy coke, we did end up with tons of great stuff for back to school. We hit every major sale in Boise and also managed to squeeze-in some time at the Cheesecake Factory. (Actually, two trips, one just for dessert!) It was great to get away and not have to haul three kids into every store, but mostly it made me realize how lucky I am to have such great friends here. I decided that it's really important to know a couple of girls who will eat way too much chocolate with you and then tell you your jeans make you look way skinny!

One of my favorite finds was this way too cute hat that we found for Brielle. A bit impractical, but I can't even feel guilty now that I've seen it on her.

The ride of his life!

Okay, so this may just look like a cute little bug to everybody else, but to Kutter, it's a shiny red Herbie car and that's about as cool as it gets! A friend of my mom's went way out of her way to give Kutter a little ride in her car and let him get his picture taken in it. He was so excited he was almost speechless! I'm pretty sure Jerilyn couldn't tell how much it meant to him because he was so quiet, but he hasn't stopped talking about it! Thanks!
