Weekend Get Away

My mom came for a visit and we were so excited she finally made the long trip For the weekend, we went down to Ohio to see Kirtland. We had such a great time seeing the beautiful country and the sacrifice of the pioneers. We saw the Newel K Whitney store, their home, the saw mill, the ashery, the Kirtland Temple, and the John Johnson Farm (where Mom left something and tried to blame me, or maybe it was just those squeaky old floor boards. Ha! Ha!) We even saw a coyote on the side of the road (just for you Trav) The next day on our way home we took the long way home and saw some Amish areas of Ohio. Absolutely Beautiful!

First Day of School

Today was the first day of school for Alexis. She was so excited. I think even Dallin may have been a little excited...play with what ever toy he wants and nobody takes it away... When we got home from taking her he ran to the motorized jeep and just sat in it trying to drive it... too bad the battery was dead. Anyway, She was little nervous, but she had someone she knew from church in her class. That made it a little better. I was a little nervous for her, but I guess that is what a mom is suppose to do, right? Her teachers names are Mrs. Every and Mrs Cantu. They seem very fun. Well, when we went to pick her up, she didn't seem to happy. I asked her if she had a good day at school. She told me she was not to happy and not sure she wanted to continue with school, because they did not let her paint. She really has a mind of her own. Hopefully, Wednesday will be just a little better.
