Payson survived her first week of kindergarten. The first few days were a big adjustment! She was quite exhausted from the long 7 hour full time schedule & she came out the first day saying, "Mommy that was way too long and boring!" But by the end of the week she seemed to be getting the hang of things. She has made new friends and is now very excited about school. It was harder than I thought sending our baby girl off to school for the first time (I totally cried, while Garrett rolled his eyes at me) and it made me sad to know she wasn't happy at first. But now I feel so proud to see how well she has adjusted and I'm looking forward to continue watching her grow into an amazing individual.
You could fry an egg on the cement it's so darn hot here in AZ! So this year we bought the kids a little pool for the back yard and have also enjoyed many dips in our community pool. After the 4th Garrett brought back our niece Karra from NM to spend the week with us. The kids had a lot of fun playing together...especially swimming! We're thankful Karra could come visit and to have so many things to keep us cool during the summer!
