First Day of School

So here are the traditional "first day of School" pictures for 2009!
Too cool for words! (He thinks!)

Brad's first day was the 24th of this month. He is going to Chandler Gilbert Community College. He is taking 15 credit hours, Pre Calc, Biology, English, Institute and Mythology. He has to take the Mythology as a requirement for the scholarship he got for being such a smart boy. He has alot of untapped potential. He sauntered down to the college to take the placement tests and came away placing very high. His counselor suggested he apply for the presidential scholarship so he did (that day was the deadline) and sure enough, about a week later he got a letter saying he got it. So that pays for his credit hours. He just has to pay for books! YIKES! they are stinkin expensive! We did get most of them on Amazon which saved us a bundle!!!! So, I ask myself, what kind of scholarship could he have gotten had he applied himself during high school? "The world will never know!"

There he goes "sniff sniff" first day of college. Alot different than dropping him off for the first day of kindergarten.

Here is Shannon, the lovely Junior who gets her "real" drivers license in 27 days. She will then be the proud driver of the above vehicle and Brad will use the white car till he leaves.

Next comes Michelle (Shelly to her friends) the new freshman!!!

She likes High School and is hoping to be on the Basket Ball team!! Go Shelly!

The Healthy! (finally) 5th Grader

Here she is sporting her "hero of the month" T-shirt she earned from her days in the hospital! She will be a good big sister to Jenna and look out for her to and from school. She has the same teacher this year as Mrs Bunger rolled up with her class. She is excited.

Last but certainly not least the big 1st Grader!

She is SOOOOO excited to finally be in first grade. Her teacher seems like she will be a good fit for her. The teacher dressed up as a pirate for the 'meet the teacher' night and Jenna was sold!
