Back to School Pictures 2021

I feel like after all of the years I have been taking back to school pictures, I am running out of ideas.  I saw a picture that I really liked of a man in a bookstore, so I decided I would try to find an antique bookstore for our pictures.  I totally hit the jackpot with this one!  I was in an antique store and had it's own little corner.  Every book was leather bound and most of them in the $1000 of dollars.  The owner was Sonny Ideker (such an awesome name), and when I made the appointment to go there, he was so gracious and wonderful.  He met us there and showed the boys around and told them stories about his life, flying for he Air Force and told the boys about the books.  It was such a cool experience that my heart was near bursting.  I loved the whole thing and the bookstore itself was so charming and perfect.

This is the face I get most of the time when I take pictures of Hunter...

Lincoln is my child who least likes pictures.  He did a good job though.

These two were just eating the experience up. McKay was dying that the books were all too expensive for him to buy.

My very favorite!

Silly!  This is the last time I will be taking back to school pictures of Palmer.

I think this shoot is going to be a hard one to top.

McKay Goes to Middle School

McKay has been preparing for middle school all summer.  In school last year they designed what they wanted their lockers to look like.  

He was pretty excited about this and ordered BYU, USU and Stanford magnets to decorate his locker.

We joined the PTO so we got to go early and get McKay's locker.

First locker and combo.

It took a while for him to figure it out, but he did.

Yay Hawks!

We went school shopping after and got some snacks.

Hawks open house for 6th graders.

His homeroom teacher was Mrs. Florendo.  She helped in his class in third grade and remembered him!

Dad came and helped with the locker.

He's ready to be in 6th grade!

Checking out the lunch room.

Later that day it was PTO day for Hendricks at Chill Hill so we went there.  McKay can't go here on Fridays after school like his brothers did, because it's too far aways, but we will make sure to get here now and again. 

Ready for school to start!

 

Wolverine Day 2021

 Palmer and Lincoln helped with Wolverine Day on Monday and Tuesday.  I think it's fun for them to go to the school early and get to show everyone around.  Hunter had to miss it because he had to work.
