Photo Shoot Sunday: Back To School Photo Shoot

I signed the kids up for some cool Back To School pictures this year. We were scheduled to have them on a Saturday evening but that weekend we were hit with a nasty wind storm so we rescheduled to Labor Day. 

That turned out to be interesting. The girls and I had spent the

day up in Logan at my Mom's house canning tomatoes with my sisters and my mom.

 I had to really hustle to get it all done and get home in time to get the kids looking great and off to pictures in time. 

They just happened to be in Syracuse too so it was a bit of a stress. But as you can see they turned out GREAT!!

 As usual it was well worth the effort to get them done. 

 

Photo Shoot Sunday: Back To School - Old School Style

For Photo Shoot Sunday I have these beauties to share with you.

I took the kids to a Mini Photo Shoot for a local photographer who was doing a Back to School theme.

I think she did great! It was a very frazzled day. We had to reschedule because of the rain so

this ended up on Labor Day. I had spent the day up in Logan canning tomatoes with my Mom and my

Sisters. So, it was a rush to get home and get everyone photo ready. I was a wee bit frazzled by the end of the shoot. I do think it was well worth the effort.

First Day of School 2012

This is the first year I have ever had all four of my kids at the same school. Gotta admit to looking forward to this. Should simplify things a bit. Still can't believe all of my kids are old enough to even be in school.

Flashback Friday: Back to School.

In honor of Back to School season, I thought I would dedicate this Flashback Friday to all of our past First Days of School. At least the ones I haven't blogged about.

2004Ethan Kindergarten (Mrs. Deelstra) at Wasatch Elementary, Ally 3 year old Preschool at Wasatch Early Learning (Miss Ann)

2005
This year Ally looked so sad on her first day of 4 year old preschool. She had fallen down the concrete steps by our front door and then gotten a black eye at the zoo.

This was her and her best cousin Sawyer who she went to preschool with.
They went to preschool together at Wasatch Early Learning both years.

Shaylen (2nd) and Ethan at Wasatch Elementary in Ogden. Ethan was in 1st grade. (Mrs. Atkinson) They loved going to the same school for a second year in a row.

2006We hadn't even officially moved into our new home yet. I drove them to and from school from our Ogden home every day for about 3 weeks. It got really old.

2007
I remember Ethan combed his hair all by himself that morning. He was a big 3rd grader at Three Mile Creek and had his favorite teacher to date, Mrs. Yates.

So there you have it. I think they grew up this fast in real life too!

First Day Of School -2011

Well, school has been in for over a month now, so I figure it's time to finally post first day of school photos. Aren't they growing up fast!

Ethan is now in 7th grade (Mrs. Auble)

Ally is now in 5th grade (Mrs. Prior)

Isn't she gorgeous? I caught her doing this before school.
Oh boy. So not ready for my kids to grow up.

Ryland is now in 2nd grade (Ms. Wermager)

Poor Evie started school less than a week after her fire pit accident. Still cute though!

She is in 4 year old preschool with Miss Jill at Up The Hill Preschool.
