Off to school

The boys started school this week. Mayson went to 1st grade on Monday and Jackson started preschool on Tuesday. They were both super excited to go to school. Mayson has Mrs. Moore for a teacher and Jackson has Mrs. Bybee and 2 other helpers. Jackson did so good going to school. I wasn't really worried about him being shy or upset though. He walked in and Said, "hi, I'm Jackson" piece of cake for mamma. He had fun and is excited to find something that starts with L for show and tell tomorrow. Mayson is liking school, but doesn't have much to say about it when he gets home.
As for the rest of us over the past month or so...we haven't really done much. Ryan has been working a ton so he is gone all of the time. We are just super happy he has a job because a lot of people these days don't, so we are not complaining! The boys did go spend a few days with Grandma and Grandpa Low before school started. Grandpa took them fishing at 1st dam. I need to get those pictures off of my phone to post. They also shot bb guns and 22's. Grandma spoiled them and took them to the pool in Logan, they had a blast! Thanks for the nice break mom!
Here are a few pictures of the boys heading to school this week.

I spaced our day at Bear Lake

Last time, I, blogged...I forgot about our fun day at the lake. It was too fun! The weather ws awsome even though it sprinkled rain on us for a little bit. Ryan was home and so we were excited to go all together as a family.

In a nutshell...

I got behind again, spank me! We have been having quite a bit of fun this summer. We found the "Wyoming beach" it's a spot in the river in the state park where we go play. There is a place to take your chair and the kids have an absolute ball. My neighbor invited us to go down there one day, we loved it and went back about 3 more times that week. One of the times, Ryans 2 sisters, and their kids came and played with us for the day at the "beach" They caught a water snake and about 5 frogs. Good times.
We also went to the Wyoming Downs 3 out of the 4 weekends it was opened. My parents came up for the last 2 and we had a great time. I won my 1st bet ever... in the 2 yrs. we have been going, I always bet a little, but have never won. This yr I was $6.20 when I picked #6 to win. I was pretty pumped!
For now, soccer and t-ball are over, we have slowed down a bunch, it's been nice! Ryans work is picking back up a little now too. So we are back to having to do things without our daddy, not the funnest, but we do what we have to. I am just so glad he has a job and is super good at what he does! He takes such great care of us, we have it pretty good!
I also had a few days with afew extra kids. My niece, Wesley, and my nephew Ashton came up for some fun with Aunt Sue. We went down to the Ice Ponds and caught some crawdads, They thought that was pretty awesome, boys loved showing them how to catch them. Ashton, put a leash on one of the crawdads and walked it and named it George. We had a fun time, but it was sure nice when they all went back home.
