Back to School (for the First Time)


Kara being her goofy self


Amy on her very first day of school


Amy's first day of kindergarten was yesterday. She has been so excited. When she came home yesterday, she couldn't remember what she had done, except reading a story called "Super Kids" and coloring a picture. She said she made some new friends, but she doesn't remember their names.

Kara is becoming fiercely independent. She wants to do everything herself, from putting on her shoes and socks to buckling her seatbelt to pouring her juice, and she throws a fit if we try to do it for her.

Brenda is excited, because the mountains are changing color. Fall is just around the corner!

This week was Joy's turn to have the stomach flu. Lucky guy.


QOSROIT: If you could make one wish right now, what would it be?

The 2007 Cougar Kickoff


Soccer Kara


Cross Country Amy


Cougar girls


Things Brenda has done during the month of August: got the stomach flu, attended the BYU organ workshop, got sicker, caught up on her magazine reading, recovered very slowly, won an official practice jersey at this year's Cougar Kickoff, and...um...well...that's about it.

Amy figured out all by herself how to blow bubbles in gum.

Kara is officially dressing herself, as long as Mom makes sure all the clothes are right side out!

Joy is counting down to the first BYU football game of the year: 10 days, 2 hours and 33 minutes.


Interesting stuff:

-Bored? Try carving crayons.

-"Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo" is a grammatically correct sentence. (if you're a visual learner, try this version)


QOSROIT: What is the strangest sentence you've ever seen?
