Off to School!

Taylor heading off to 6th grade! This is a bitter sweet year for her and us. She leaves Garden Heights which was her elementary school for the last 7 years!! She had such a great experience there with such great teachers and a special one on one helper! They will all be hard to replace. Not sure if we are all ready for Middle School and after the first few months now of school, I don't think that they were quite ready for her either, but hopefully with some more hard work, Middle School will start to fall into place. Trying to integrate a special Education Student is a lot of sweat and tears and we will get there. She has such awesome friends who are trying their best to help her out. We just won't give up on you Taylor!!
Kendra heading off to her first day of school and also as a new driver! She got her driving license right before school started. Scary!! She drove the Dodge Neon to school the first month or two.
She wasn't thrilled about driving stick shift and killed it at least 12 times getting to and from school, but she finally figured it out. Now she drives my old car, the Ford Taurus, since I got a new Dodge Durango, so she is much happier and so am I. I will have to admit, that she is getting better and it is nice having an extra driver again!

Kendra, first day of school as a Junior at MLHS!

Scott heading off to college at BYU, Provo, UT! Can't believe he is leaving home! He is sure excited to get to Provo. He is rooming with his good friend and cousin, James Mitchell, so that should be lots of fun. James is going to UVU and then his twin brothers, Jacob and Matt will be there along with James's older brother, Doug and his wife, Shauna. You then also have Stephanie and Kritt and his cousin, Ben, in SLC. He'll have more family around there than we do here! You will be dearly missed! Scott is going to BYU as a Junior. He was able to take his last 2 years of High School out to the Junior College here called Big Ben. The program is called Running Start and they end up graduating with their high school diploma the same time that they graduate with their AA from the college. The best thing about it, is that it is basically free. We just pay for the books and some labs. Quite the deal! We love you, Scott! Make us proud!
