School begins!!

We celebrated the first day of school by taking a really bad picture, with no time for retakes. School starts about 45 minutes earlier here than our old school, and it has taken a lot of adjustment for me. I can no longer roll out of bed at 7 and get the kids there on time. So so sad for me.

So other than having to wake up at the crack of dawn, we're really liking Hualapai Elementary (pronounced Wall- a- pie) and White Cliffs Middle School. The kids like their teachers, have made friends and are doing well.

Suzanna Turns 9!

Last July Suzanna celebrated her 9th birthday!! Sadly, I can't remember much from the day except letting her pick out her cake and decorate it.

And that I made her a cute card =)

Girl Food?

Over the summer Suzanna found a book called "Great Girl Food" or something like that at the Library. It's been six months...the title may have altered in my mind a little =) So on days we were really bored, she would convince me to try out something new. Nothing turned out that great. So either we are terrible cooks (a definite option!) or this book was terrible. I'm going to go with the book--why place any responsibility on me, right?? Anyway, this picture is an attempt at a parfait where you made your own jello and put some sort of gummy something in it. Mmmm...bet you all want to go out and buy that book, huh? But even though I didn't love the book or the food we created from it, we did make some good memories cooking together!!
