Fall 2024

Summer flew by this year! Ready or not it's back to school... Rylee had walk your schedule but said it wasn't "cool" to take a pic as a 7th grader in the hallways. She has a great schedule and is very excited about this new year. She will be doing volleyball tryouts the first week of school...big prayers for her to make the team and for the coaches to see what I see in her!!

Rayna had Meet the Teacher and she has Ms. Johansen (homeroom) & Ms. Guzman (switch) as her teachers (she did not want to take pics with them this year - not "cool"). They were so sweet and I know she is going to have an amazing year especially with her bestie finally in class with her! :)

Happy first day of school :) My girls are growing up so so fast but I could not be more proud of them. Praying they have the very best year with the best teachers!

Another year of two schools - lets do this!

Love getting to walk Rayna in on the first day. I only have one more year to do this. Definitely bittersweet how quickly they are growing up! Rayna was a little nervous but mostly excited to see her friends! It helped that her teacher was jamming Taylor Swift :)

Gave Rayna a big hug then off to take these big junior high girls to Beck! Have the best day!! :)

Things I don't want to forget:

Rayna:

• Got to be sassay and a little bit classy
• "screw it" - when something was not working
• "can I cuss when I get to high school?"
• "my brain is braining"
• When I was talking out loud saying why do I have to wiggle everyone's teeth? Rayna chimed in and said, "you're the mom. you signed up for this."
• "roasted toasted"
• "that's a you problem, not a me problem"
• When Mike said he there beautiful to Rayna... she said that was super awkward
• "going to have beef with that boy if he rings his bike bell at me again"
• "I can't wait to be 21 so I can understand the hype of Vizzys!"

Rylee:

• "our bus will have a toilet and convertible chairs!"
• "I have two goals this year - get my mile time down in the 9s and lift one eyebrow at a time"
• "pitch silent"
• "it is raining only on one side!" - sprinklers were on
• "tall people get wet first when it rains"
• "so cringe"
• "that is giving me fifth hand embarassment"
• "girl math"
• "oh shucks"
• If I say that girl is my 'fri' then that means they are half of my friend. We aren't besties but I just know them.
