Summer is it really over?

So today is the first day of school. I feel kind of sad and gloom. (this is not suppose to happen) I should go shopping or something but I don't feel like it. I now officially have a 6th grader and a 10th grader. I don't know where time has gone but it's gone. I am sure in about one day I will snap out of this bit of loneliness. Here are the traditional "first day of school" photos. Everyone is happy now but that will end by tomorrow. Ryan's day starts at 5 am so he can go to seminary and he has a zero hour so school starts for him at 7:30. Brandon has to leave the house by 7:45. But he takes FOREVER to get ready so he has to get up at 6!!

I don't know where the summer went but here are some of the things we did with our time.




So Ryan attends the "Rebel muster" which is basically a day when they go enroll and get student id's and lockers and stuff like that. We finally made it to this day- big bad High Schooler!!! The Robert E. Lee Rebels!!! Go Rebels

Here's me and my friend Tami shopping in Vegas. We BREAK for outlet malls!!! Sorry about the double photos I am a computer blogging idiot. And I cant figure out how to get one off. UGH!!! Somebody please give me blogging lessons!!!

I spent a lot of time hanging out with the Young Women. We had a week long camp in June to Junction Texas (torture!!!) We attended Youth conference in San Angelo for weekend which was a lot of fun. And we had a weekend in Lubbock where we shopped, laughed, attended the temple and had a ton of fun.

We also said goodbye to 4 awesome Seniors who headed off to college ( I will miss them tons!!) And goodbye to one of our very few Beehives And good Friend who is moving this week. But we also have gotten 4 new Young women so it always changes and keeps things interesting. I lOVE IT!!!

Ryan spent a lot of time working on his Basketball game and going to the gym with me every morning. He hopes to make the High School team this year. He will play with who ever will play with him.

We spent some time swimming, but not as much as we usually do. My tan really stinks this year. I miss all my pool friends!!!

Why the boys were gone for a month I tried to finish my Disney scrapbooks. I hope to finish before we leave on our next cruise - 6 more weeks!

The boys were so excited to fly by themselves to Colorado and then Ryan flew on to Salt Lake City where he spent a week at BYU for EFY. As you can see Ryan still has trouble making friends.

Well that about says it all. Just another summer vacation that came to an end. I hope we all had a good time and made lots of memories.
