Time...

 Shockingly, time has gotten away from me.  Again.  It's been a busy, busy summer.  After our Utah summer run, we had visitors, fun, and a move.  All before school started.  Jon's dad decided to head home for good at the end of July.  That meant we got to spend his mom's birthday with her!  We had a super yummy cake and a VERY fun gift!  I can't wait to see what she makes with it!

 Of course, while they were here, Julianne had to get in some Go Fish!  It's her favorite game.  She giggles still if anyone says, "I'm gonna go fishing!" because Grandpa kept saying it the whole game.
Then, rather than pack my house, we went to the Science Center for the first time since we've been back. It was really really fun.  Mason loved the bubbles, and the rocket demo.  We definitely should have been sooner, and will need to go again!

 Sticking your body into the pins is super cool (as long as you're not thinking about the germs there....)
 Then, the mayhem began.  We packed up and moved our house in about a week.  We found a new place to live that changed our school district.  The new district started 2 weeks before the one we were planning on attending. So, we moved on Monday and the kids started school on Wednesday.  It was a little stressful but we made it.
 The first day of school!  Mason's first day of Kindergarten and Brooklyn's first day of 3rd grade.  And, of course, Julianne who isn't interested in being left out :).
 It took a couple days to figure out the whole bus-thing.  Finally by Friday we were there waiting for our first ride.  I love that they ride the bus but the timing has been an adjustment.  School starts later than the old school and I struggled a little with my usual schedule.  Oh well, again, it all worked out :).
 Our new place has a fireplace and mantle. yay!  Now, if only I had decoration skills :).  Luckily, Erica will be here soon!
 Right before school, we hit the state Fair.  This year's butter sculpture was Snow White and the Evil Queen.  They were awesome.
Randomly, lastly, is the moving truck.  Next time I move, someone else needs to do it..... :).  Hopefully, now that school has started I'll be able to keep up (yeah right).  Oh well, at least you know I'm still alive :).  Happy Fall!
