The First Day!

Today was the BIG DAY!  Madison started Kindergarten.  She was so excited and had no fear at all.  I got Kenzie and Easton dressed so we could walk Maddy to the bus stop by 8:00am, but Maddy insisted that she could walk by herself since she was a "big girl" now.  I said "Not a chance little one," and I grabbed my GIANT camera to capture the event!  

She got off the bus a little after 3:00pm and she was all smiles.  She said she had fun, she had burritos for lunch, she saw her friends, and she missed her dog Leah.  One day down and how many more to go?  Let's hope the rest of the days are as good as the first!

We didn't have any planned trips this summer, but don't let that fool you.  We have been busy this summer!  We spent our summer days going to The Splash Park, Rigby Lake, Heise Hot Springs, Apple Athletic Club, dance lessons, and swimming lessons.  Let's not forget the lazy days spent at home in our wading pool, playing on the swing set, riding bikes, and loving our new dog Leah.  

While we have spent our summer days playing, Boone has been slaving away at work.  He and his partner dentist bought a 2nd dental office in Victor, ID.  It's called Mountain River Dental. Boone works one day a week in Victor, and the rest in his Rigby office.  His partner does the same, and they employ two other dentists to work the other days in Victor.  This has kept Boone busy, but he always loves a challenge.  I am not to happy about him making the one hour drive to Victor in the winter and the late nights once a week, but I'll survive.

Maddy starts kindergarten in two days.  She is so excited to ride the bus.  I worry about her actually making it to school and have thought about following the bus her first morning, but I won't!  Kenzie is supposed to start pre-school the first week of September, IF she stops peeing her pants.  She has been potty trained for a month now, but she has had an accident every day this week.  Sometimes more than once a day.  Gotta love potty training!

Easton gets to spend one more year with me as his teacher before he starts pre-school.  We'll see how that goes.  He is all BOY and so destructive, but I love him and his chubby cheeks!
