Our Utah grandchildren!

Five of them started school last Thursday and I have some pictures to share!

Not necessarily the first day of school, but close to it.

Katelyn, Jessica, Emily
Jacob and Matthew
And the unschoolers...who still stay home with Mommy.

Rachel
Making sure she is still the princess!
Robbie
if you can find him in there
And while we're at it, take a look at these...

Rachel, Jessica, Katelyn, Jacob

Matthew and Kim
Kim looks so much like Kris here.
I had to ask Den, "Is this Kim??"
Jessica
In her first tennis tournament.
She took 2nd place!
Jacob

Emily and Ryan

Rachel
with her little students

Oh my goodness! I loved Rachel's art work! I wonder, did it take long to get it off?
You have a beautiful family, Jill.
God Bless them!

All the best,

These are great pictures of the Utah grandchildren. They are all so cute! All of the paint on Rachel's legs must have been a little bit of a challenge to get off, but it looks like she had fun. Thanks for sharing!

The new school year starts. Mothers are smiling everywhere. That picture of Rachel with the painted legs looks like a picture taken of Katie when she was about the same age. Sounds like a pattern in their family...hummmmmmm.

Oh, it was so fun to see these pictures today Jill! The kids squeeled with delight to see themselves on Grandma's blog! Yes, indeed Dad....Rachel does look a lot like Katie at the age with the same issue going on with the markers. :) I need to try and see if I can find that picture of her and compare the two!
