End of Summer (sort of)

As the end of summer is in sight & Hyrum starting actual school is looming (less than two weeks!) I wanted to mention our little co-op preschool we did last year for Hyrum. It was really fun-twice a week for a couple of hours each day & rotating weekly between our three homes. I enjoyed it & plan on doing it for my other kids but it's taught me one thing. I really don't think I'm made for permanent homeschooling! Not the best teacher award right here :)

Here is Hyrum with his two best buds Katelyn & Cole

(they get along sooo well)

Hunter loved it when it was at our house & would join right in with cutting, coloring, pasting, writing etc. He would cry sometimes when I dropped him off at the other homes because he wanted to go so much :(

We did have a few field trips-here's one to Jeremy's dental office where he talked to them about uh, teeth of course, they got a little check up & a bag of toothbrushes/toothpaste etc.

Here are all the kids (minus the 4 babies) at Bass Pro Shop learning about fish or really just running around screaming, let's be honest.

Courtney, me, Olivia, & Carolynn

The only sad part was when Cole & his family moved far away in March :( We miss them! Courtney was one of my favorite people in Missouri.

** On a happy & exciting note Hyrum read his very first book "See Pip Point" last Saturday!!! He has read two other books this week as well. He's been reading simple words for a while actually but for some reason I've never had him try a book. I thought he would get frustrated but he was smiling in between every word. I'm so proud!! And so glad that he loves it. He's getting better & better every day.
