Kids had a GREAT first day of school. They all rode the bus together (Miss Hannah watching over my Maxwell 1st grader). Max enjoyed having lunch at school. It was a rainy first week of school, which is uncommon for Utah… but the kids have jumped right into their new schedule (now… as for establishing new homework, reading, chore routines at home… still working on this!).

Meet the Teachers … Barclay, Jackson, & Stone respectively.

Happy 2014-2015 School Year.
Last year with these three kids in the same school. Boo-hoo!

Miss Liza loved opening presents. Her siblings gave her cute cards. Abe gave her sparkly pink playdough. Max gave her a candy taped on his card. Hannah gave her some princess rings. Grandma & Grandpa Price gave her the cutest Minnie Mouse Remote Control Car & the sweetest princess card. The unexpected gift was the kitchen Jimmy found today on clearance for like $30. We wanted to get one for her and it worked out! She loves the cell phone. She makes us breakfast in bed and brings us muffins and cookies and chicken & rice that she’s made on her stove. A perfect gift for creative Liza who loves to pretend.

A little Studio C with Abe @ the computer. A little sister play at the new kitchen! Abe making sparkly pink playdough for a gift for Liza! always lots of siblings crowded around to delight in the cards and birthday gifts.

Grandma & Grandpa Price treated us to ice cream @ the Creamery after the Museum. Liza picked pink (cherry chocolate brownie). Everyone enjoyed the treat, being on BYU campus, and seeing Grandma & Grandpa!

Hannah and Abe both had a slight change in their prescription… so they picked out some new glasses. They each settled on Converse… bright colored plastic! Hannah’s are dark purple with aqua on the side… totally her style. Abe wanted orange so though he has chunky black on front, the sides are definitely orange!

Max found the perfect frame in case he needed glasses. Turns out he was like +1 and Dr. Gray said he really didn’t “need” glasses at this point. But perhaps in the next year. He choose bright blue Nike Frames. Hopefully they’ll still be there when he needs them. So grateful for eye-care insurance. All we had to pay for was the non-glare coating which was $73. Makes such a huge difference for the kids vision (and taking pictures!)

Liza had fun trying on glasses. Of course her favorite were the pink ones (not pictured).
