JROTC


Every Wednesday Sam will wear his uniform to school
Doesn't he look so nice?


Dad performing his own inspection.

I don't know who was more excited Sam or his dad.
As stated in an earlier post, Sam has decided to participate
in JROTC. Ofcourse his dad is pleased. Even if it is only
"Air Force" And Jake quietly let me know that he wouldn't
be dissappointed if he entered the Air Force, "only if he went in as
an Officer though." I thought that was very funny. Because as
you know if you are in one branch of the military, you kind
of look down on the others. However, if you look at the BIG picture
they all have to work together when push comes to shove, and
that is what makes our country great. And whether he goes into
the military or not we are very proud of him.

The First Day of School!



So I am officially old! Yesterday was Sam's first
day of High School. He attends Agua Fria
High School. He had a great day. Ofcourse in
this school district on the first day of school all
the Freshman go to school and then on the second
day of school the rest of the grades attend. Which is
nice because it gives the Freshman a day to get the
lay of the land before everyone else gets there.
He is playing football this year, he is also going to
be in ROTC. He is also excited about taking a
Theatre class. So I can tell this is going to be
a busy year for us. Not to mention he starts
early morning Seminary on Wednesday morning!!
Miss Liz starts 7th grade this year! She is excited because
she has Art as one of her elective classes. She is also
going to be playing the trumpet again in band this year.
She is planning on being in the Art club and Drama club
this year as well.








And as per our family tradition since moving to Arizona,
we can't have a first day of school without going to
Coldstone! Since it is still very very hot in AZ when
school starts we always go to Coldstone afterschool to
celebrate! Yummy!!!
