Ethan goes to School !!

I can't believe it, Ethan started school this year. He has been going for about a month now, and he absolutely loves it. I have to admit I was really worried as to how the first day was going to go. He started the night before saying he was sick and he couldn't go to school because he would get all the other kids sick. I laughed so hard at this and told him he would be fine. Then he told me he needed to have his own cell phone in case he needed to call me. Are you kidding me?! I couldn't believe it, but he was dead serious!! I told him they have phones at school. I even told him he could wear whatever he wanted, notice what he picked, haha, and also wanted to wear every day the rest of the week :) But needless to say when school time came he did amazing. He walked right in all happy and Hazen and I stood at the door crying :) Hazen cried for like a half an hour saying he wanted to go to school with E. I am so proud of him for doing such a good job. The second day of school I told him not to worry cause I would be back soon, just like the day before and he said " Mom I never even worried about it". Come on Ethan, humor me and pretend you missed me ha ha
We went to Parent Teacher's today (already!) and his teacher said he is doing so well and is learning really well. We are proud of you E!! We love you!

Colorado-

After we went to Moab, we went to Monticello to see Cole's parents and then we had a family get together in Hesperus Colorado, at Cole's grandpa's awesome ranch. The kids absolutely loved it there and did not want to leave!(see the red building, it is a two seater outhouse, that still gets used :)

Arches/ Moab-

The end of July we took the kids to Moab and stayed and went to Arches for a few days. It is so amazing and beautiful there. We all loved it. Cole holding up Balance Rock :)
