First day of school!

I know I am a little late posting these pictures, but better late then never!  The kids love being back in school.  On the first day back, Tayton said he didn't want to leave.  He loves school and it was such a blessing that he is healthy enough to go back to school.  I am planning on taking him out of school during the horrible winter months, but if his airway is stable I will try my best to keep him in.  We will just have to wait and see how he does.  So far he is doing great!

 So exciting.

 Ready with his Indiana Jones hat.  Can't get sunburned during recess.



 Waiting for the bus.
 Talking with some friends that he missed.

 It's finally here!  Didn't even turn around to wave goodbye.  He was to embarrassed and wouldn't even kiss his mom goodbye.

 Once Tayton was off to school it was time to get Tanna ready.
 She wasn't scared at all and couldn't wait to ride the bus to school.
 I love her pose.
 Had to show off her backpack.
 Her favorite thing about the first day of school was riding the bus and running the gold medal mile.
 This is the only pictures we got at the bus stop.  It started raining when the bus came, so we didn't get any pictures.  It was so cute, she just hopped on and waved goodbye.
So with two kids away at school I thought I would get a bit of a break.  The first day of school I ended up going to see a Orthopedic doctor and spent the entire time why Tanna was gone waiting in the office.  The 2nd day of school I had to meet with the nurse and principal to discuss all of Taytons medical issues.  The 3rd day of school I got to go get an MRI at the Brigham Hospital for my knee and guess what, I get to have surgery.  I tore my meniscus why I was running with my husband.  Apparently I tore it really bad, and if I don't fix it, it will only get worse and it will eventually just break and it would be a lot worse surgery.  So that will be October 7th, fun I know.  Sometimes I wonder if it will ever end, but I guess I just have to count my blessings that it is me and not my kids.  I would do a million surgeries if it meant Tayton didn't have to go through any more.

Also if I don't post on the blog a ton it is because we are in the process of moving.  Now I know what a lot of you are saying, why in the world would they move again?  Well, we BOUGHT A HOME!!!!!!!  Finally, we found a house in Perry that was in our budget.  We have been deciding what we were going to do, and we even talked about moving to Tremonton or out further north in Box Elder County, but we were hoping something in Perry would come up in our price range so we could keep Tayton in the same school.  We are so blessed that we found a beautiful home that hopefully we can spend the next 50 years in.  We are starting lots of projects and I will post some before and after photos.  I really feel it was such a huge blessing to be able to get this home.  I am so excited!

What an exiting week - the first day of school for both Tanna and Tayton! Their pictures are great and their little faces are filled with such excitement and happiness, and to be riding the buses all on their own, they must be feeling so grown up. I know all the grandparents are cherishing those pictures too. I was thinking about your blog the other day and realized how far we've progressed from the early pioneer journals and diaries to an electronic journal filled with wonderful pictures and your daily life experiences. I hope Tayton continues to improve and can stay in school until the "flu and bug" season hits the schools. He is such a strong and amazing little boy. I'm sorry you have to have knee surgery - that can't be any fun at all, but maybe it is a blessing in disguise and now you can take it easy and let everyone pay back all your kindnesses and take care of you! I talked to your mom and her face lit up when she told me you had found a home so close to them! She was so relieved you won't be farther away. As parents, you are want your kids in a home close enough you can see them in a heartbeat, but far enough away they have their privacy too...although I'd love it if my kids lived right next door - one on each side! Good luck with all your projects, and especially your knee surgery and Tayton's health. As always, we keep you and your family in our thoughts and prayers. Marilyn and Mike
