Today was the first day of school for Payton! I can't believe I am the mother of a Kindergartner! It's crazy to think how life changes when your kids enter the school years. He was so excited this morning and I was really surprised he didn't cry or get upset. He loved it. They had sandwiches for lunch today and chocolate milk. He said tomorrow they are having chicken nuggets :) He learned about listening today, and colored a picture of that. They also made hats. I asked him if he made any friends, and he said, not yet. I asked who did you play with at recess? He said he didn't know their names. He's so funny. I'm so proud of my little man, he's getting so old and it scares me and Tod. We don't want him to grow up ;)
And just a little update about living in Rock Springs. I actually really love it. Before school started we went swimming in the pool at our apartments every day for a couple of hours. It was like we had our own pool because no one else was there. I haven't noticed the wind too much and the weather has been great. I know that fall is coming though and we're sad to loose the warmth, but we're pretty used to the cold winters. Star Valley and Cache Valley don't have mild winters by anyone's standard. I'm finding my way around pretty good and that makes it better. I don't feel lost anymore and having to flip U turns all the time. One thing that sucks is that is seems the groceries are super expensive. I think that might just be a national hike in prices though. But at Wal-Mart 12 packs of soda were like $4.60 or something, crazy. So we went to Smith's they had a 4 for $10. I think we'll stick to shopping the weekly ad from now on. Other wise I'd be spending $100+ every week at Wal-mart. Anyway we're adjusting. We do miss our neighbors, ward members, and friends in Hyrum, but we are meeting new people here who are just as nice. The ward is super nice and welcoming. I'm glad Tod gets to come this week because he's on his six days off.
We are celebrating Carson's 4th birthday on Saturday. Tod will be working on his actual birthday on the 18th. So Tod's parents are coming here and we're having lunch at Applebee's and of course cake and ice cream. Carson wanted an Iron Man cake so my mother in law, Jill, is in charge of that! I'll get some pictures posted soon of our new apartment and of course Carson's birthday. I need to get some of Payton's birthday up too, but they are all on my father in law's camera. Until I post again... <3 Emily
Payton sitting at his table, the black thing is the hat's they were going to make.
That sweet smile :)
The grimace :(
All ready to go!
This is outside our apartment, it's kind of a pretty view I'd say :)
Rock Springs might just be growing on us!
