I still cannot fully process what has happened today. My little twinners started Kindergarten! I have had small moments since the day they were born, wondering if we would all make it sanely and intact to this milestone....and now that it is here it is surreal. Can they really be old enough to be on their own? in separate classes?! We have another little set of twinner friends in our neighborhood, boy/girl, same age, yay! So they have both been split to experience a little independence. I was completely fine with that decision, until today. Coco, I mean Colbie-blair, walked into her class and the door shut behind her with a thud. I pictured her terrified and shutting down...I knew Kaleb would be fine cuz he is my tough guy, Colbie's protector, but Coco, oh Coco. So sensitive, so meek....boy was I wrong. The bell rang and she literally pranced out of class with a crown on her head eating a rice krispie treat, without a care in the world :) Kaleb was saying "see ya" to all his buddies, fist pumping them as if they had known each other forever. I felt a little twinge in my heart when I saw how strong they were!! It is so cool to watch them evolve into their own person, with their own opinions and personalities. My little babies are big kids now, and I am so so proud to be there mama.
Most of my family was able to meet up in St George over Labor day weekend and do a quick little "Fisher vacay". St George has always kinda been our "spot". My Dad used to take us there every year..so when we found out Will had never been, or heard of it for that matter lol, we jumped on the chance to give him the full experience :) We spent the first day in Zions, walking around like we owned the place.
The next day we went to Snow canyon and experienced something new to all of us, the Lava Caves....AWESOME!!
Yepp, we climbed down that hole, we are awesome.
And finished the day off poolside :)
The last day of our trip we hit up the driving range..
Cami and I quickly realized that not being good at golf sucks and had to find other ways to entertain ourselves and torture everyone else that is good at everything, don't worry guys I'm just jealous :)
hahaha looking at these pics over and over and I'm still laughing. I love being with my family and being able to lose myself in the moment..oh we also came home with a new pet..a tarantula Rob caught at the golf course, she is huge! Rob took her to work to show everyone so I can't take a pic of her. The kids were carrying around her jar like they just got a new puppy or something! Her name is Francis, furry Francis :)
We made it thru our first week of first grade! Luke has grown up so stinkin much it amazes me! He really is such a good boy. He is constantly learning, growing, and trying to be the best that he can be. He is highly critical of himself which breaks my heart because I truely know how he feels and wish I could make him see what a great little guy he is. Inspite of his insecurities he is brave and forges on and is happy. I can see him force himself to do things even when he is unsure and I really admire that. He has said bye without looking back, took school lunch when he wasn't sure if he would be able to remember his lunch number, and one day even rode his bike to and from school without any help. He loves school and his great new teacher, and loves that he gets to take a storm trooper lunch box with him...who wouldn't??
