Hawken's First Day Of Kindergarten

Wow, he's a big kid now! A Kindergartner...

Friends

Zeta & Hawken are the same age and have known each other since they were born. She requested a photo with him at the Farm Party last night. Zeta loves to try and keep up with my boys, it's super cute to watch. She's very articulate for 5 and sounds so grown up sometimes. We are good friends with her parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. It's a big family and they all live up here. This is the group of people we will miss most... Our Alaska Family.

Jaxon's 1st Day of School

Jaxon is a Fourth Grader now, school started yesterday... Wow! I have taken his picture in front of this "Shannon Cartwright" mural at his school for 5 years now on the 1st day. I need to dig them all up and post them together at some point... Hawken starts Kindergarten next week too, Time flies!

Hurricane Gulch Train Trip

Today I took the boys on the train! There is a day trip up to Hurricane Gulch. They did great, it was beautiful out and they each won a real Golden Train Spike (painted gold and used at the end of a new rail line to celebrate it's finish) and a star pin from the conductor for being so good...  I also got compliments from the New York tourists across the aisle from us who have seen many children on their travels but none as well behaved as ours. Good job boys. While we passed the time Jax schooled me in "Go-Fish" several times.

That's Denali over there.
