Drew and I went to the library yesterday. Our purpose was to check out a Pirates of the Caribbean movie (he’s really into pirates right now), but since we were there we checked out a couple books that would challenge him a little bit. He’s doing well in his kindergarten class, but the books he …

Ellie joins Bear Hollow Preschool
Tuesday was Ellie’s first day in preschool. For some reason, she has gone from my baby to a mini-teenager in what seems like a few short weeks. She is cute, sweet and fun, but at the same time sassy and spunky. I really love the heck out of her and it will be very difficult …
Drew’s in Kindergarten!
Whoa! Time, please slow down! If you can believe it, my little Drew is starting school. He couldn’t have been more excited to join his older siblings in this adventure. What a handsome little man! Mrs. Beck’s Kindergarten Drew has several kids from our ward in his class which has made it an easy transition …
First Day of School
With excited anticipation, my kiddos woke up early to prepare for their first day of school. I think everyone ended up wearing the outfit that was chosen in the fashion show the night before. They all looked beautiful (or handsome) and happy on their way out the door. This year I was ready for school …
Do Good Continually – Back to School 2013

Preschool Graduation
We are closing another chapter in Drew’s life. He has completed preschool at Bear Hollow and will be heading to kindergarten in the fall. He has really enjoyed his time with Miss Molly and has grown so much in the last eight months. I can’t, however, pretend that he isn’t super excited to start school …
Preschool at the Zoo
Drew is in Bear Hollow Preschool. For their final field trip of the year, they headed to the Hogle Zoo. I partnered up with my good friends Claire and Emily, who also have children at the preschool, and arranged for all of us to be together. This allowed us to see all the sites, but …
Great American Challenge, Take 2
Megan is in the A.L.L. (accelerated learning lab) program this year. At the beginning of the school year Megan’s teacher, Miss Louw, told the students about the “Great American Challenge.” She told them it was strictly optional. She went on further to say that those kids that did it would be rewarded. There were a …
Spelling Bee 2013
And folks, we have another fantastic speller in our family! As you have probably read in years past, Jake has participated and done well in several spelling bees. Megan was hesitant to participate for fear she wouldn’t do as well as Jake has done, but she was wrong. She did great! She came in at …
Can Do!
Jacob decided to run for the 8th grade representative for student council for the next school year. In 8th grade at his junior high school, they don’t have the traditional student council positions, just a couple representative spots: one male, and one female representative. The application process was rigorous. Jacob had to get a teacher …
