Week in Review...

 The kids started school this week, Abby started 5th grade with Mrs. Griess and Jacob started his junior year back at Red mountain high school. I started my 3rd year teaching. Ashlyn will start at Mesa Community College on August 19th. I guess the dogs miss us while we are gone! 

Abby started playing volleyball and loves it! She was really nervous for her first game on Saturday but she did great, they lost but it was a fun game. I got to be the line judge and that was fun too. 

I came home one day this week and found the kids making cake pops, yum!

Here's Abby with Mrs. Griess, it's going to be a great year!

Abby has some people at our school that really like her, and spoil her. She gets some hand me downs from one of them....so cute!

Rick got to go to a DBacks game and got spoiled with hot dogs, drinks and snacks....

My team this year is going to be great, we al work really well together and really enjoy being together. 

Abby's 5th grade class...

Abby was a little nervous on the first day, but she did great!

I was a little nervous too, but it was a good day!

Rusty loves to cuddle, so cute!

Abby's first game, I love that the girls are all very supportive of each other. They cheer each other on and do little cheers. It's fun to watch them and makes me miss playing!

Rick gave the kids and me back to school blessings this week, and it's always a good reminder that our Heavenly Father loves us and wants us to be good people and love each other, support each other and make good choices. We are very blessed!
