Back to School!

"It's the most wonderful time of the year!" Ha ha...my friend Gretchen said her husband has been singing that to their kids for the past week. Remember the Staples (or some other office supply store) commercial with the dad all happy and the kids pouting? lol

I can't believe Amber is already in 2nd grade. She's growing up way too fast. These are her cute friends from the ward. It's just the 4 of them. Aren't they a cute group? Right now Neal probably thinks life is terrible being surrounded by girls. Some day he'll know how lucky it actually is! I think the girls are pretty lucky too. : )

Kindergarten doesn't start until next week, so I get to keep Tyler for a few more days. It wasn't as hard on me as 1st grade was (with Amber.) At least this year he'll be around half a day. Next year it will be all day that they'll both be gone. I know I'll be bummed when that happens. As needy as they are sometimes, and as much fighting as they were doing the last few weeks of summer, I enjoyed having them around and will miss them!
