First Day of School

Today is Nicholas' first day of full-day kindergarten. He was so excited about going to school that he was up, showered, dressed, and awaiting his breakfast at 6am! We have got to invest in blackout curtains!!! Well, being the good mother that I am, I told him it was too early and that he should go back to bed and then I proceeded to pull the covers over my head... for a few more precious minutes of rest. Amazingly enough we made it to school EARLY. Nicholas is in Mrs. Udall's class and at lunch today he told me, "I like my teacher. She is very nice." So we're off to a great start of a great school year!

St. George, Utah

This weekend we went to Ola and Jessie Kaonohi's wedding reception in St. George, Utah. Before the reception we were able to tour the St. George Tabernacle, Brigham Young's winter home, and see the Pioneer Miracle movie at the visitor's center. I have never been to St. George before, and must say that it is a beautiful town, and the St. George Temple is absolutely gorgeous!

This is the inside of the Tabernacle.

These statues were around the outside of the Tabernacle.

Sarah and Audrey

These are two of Ola's three older sisters, and MY dearest childhood friends. Kaulana is on the left, and Kristy is on the right with her baby boy Coby. Toni, who is not in the picture, is serving a mission. These are the girls I grew up with, and I love them! I am so glad that I was able to see them this weekend. It was A LOT of fun! You really can't go wrong at a Hawaiian wedding!!!

This is Audrey and Kristy's girl, Kylan... or as Audrey calls her, "My friend from Hawaii."

And this is what Audrey and Kylan were doing while everyone else was cleaning up! You gotta love girls!!!
