School Pictures 2014

We got school pictures for this year :)

Here they are.  Only 2 kids with school pictures.  Seems so weird!

Bronson 10th grade

 Emmie 7th grade

Hair Today - Gone Tommorow!

Bronson has been wanting to grow his hair out but I just can't allow it.

For some reason he really wanted to grow his hair into a mullet.

He really wasn't letting up on the idea so I told him if he got a 4.0 for the

last term of school last year, I would let him grow it out.

He had never gotten a 4.0 before.  He always comes close but usually

has a B or an A-. 

Well - he did it so I had to keep my word and I let him grow his hair out all summer

and he had a mullet when school started.

 I didn't really love this look but I knew he would get sick of it. 

And he did :)  Maddie cut his hair a couple of days ago...

 

Much better :)

(It's funny he's wearing the same shirt in both of these pictures.)

Talbie at BYU-I Finally!!

Well - the day finally came for Talbie to start school at BYU-I.

She has been looking forward to this day for a long time :)

 She started packing and filling our storage room with stuff about a month ago.

 Here she is just before we loaded the cars

 She got her room set up really cute!

 We left Rexburg on Saturday and our cousins - the Gee's

had her and her roommate over for Sunday dinner. 

 

 And she sent me a first day of school picture :)

I can't tell you how pleased we are that Talbie is at BYU-I.  I don't think I've ever

seen such a wonderful school!  I went to BYU Provo and to tell you the truth, I don't think

it compares to how this campus embraces their students.

Talbie is living in the dorms.  There is 2 bedrooms and a kitchen that 4 girls share.  

She knew one of her roommates from school here but the other 2 they got to know over the 

summer through emails and texting.  They had everything planned as to who was bringing what so there wasn't a lot of duplicate stuff in the kitchen and family room.  Talk about being organized!  I wonder how many boy dorms were set up so well :)

Another comfort is that the Gee's are so close.  I makes me feel so good that she has a little home away from home and someone to call if she has an emergency.  Thank you Amy!!

She has already had a full week of classes and she is thrilled to be back at working hard and studying.  This girl knows how to study!  That's why she didn't have to pay a penny of her school

and after her tuition and housing was paid for, they deposited $250.00 into her account for books that was left over from her scholarship and a grant. :)

Emmie Gets Braces

Emmie Got braces a couple of weeks ago.

She is the last of the kids to have them ;)  That's a happy thought!

Here is a before and after picture.
