A short one...

Mckenzie was getting ready for school yesterday morning and Bodie was complaining about his allergies...wondering why he was having such bad hayfever this time of year. When he asked McKenzie why she thought he had hayfever she said "I don't know...maybe you have Bieber fever". Bodie assured us he didn't but I think secretly he really does!!!

First Day of First Grade!!


McKenzie is in first grade!!! I can't believe it. How did she get to be 6 so fast??? She was pretty excited and a little nervous to go back to school. She was bummed that she can't sleep in anymore or be lazy all morning watching TV, but once she got to school she was so excited to see her friends from last year. It was a lot easier to send her to school this year because when she started Kindergarten she didn't know anyone. I was so worried about her having to play at recess all by herself. I didn't have to worry about that for long though...McKenzie made lots of friends really fast. She came home from school yesterday so excited about eating lunch with her friends and her and the other girls chasing the boys at recess. When she told me that, I realized that she is not my little baby anymore!

She also loved the part where she got to go school shopping. Grandma Diane took some of the grand kids when we were in St. George and bought them some new school clothes. Her favorite item that she came home with...the Star Wars t-shirt. McKenzie couldn't wait to wear it! She definetaly impressed some of the little boys at school with that one!

She is such a cute sweet girl and I know she will do really well in school...even if it is hard for me to deal with the fact that she is growing up!
