First Day of School

Once again summer has ended much too quickly and the first day of school came and pounced on us.  We made a big summer "to do" list and we didn't even come close to finishing it.  So maybe by September we will be closer:)

On the first day of school Porter was up and dressed by the time I made it into their room to wake him and Logan up.  He was very excited to start 3rd grade.  His teacher is Mrs. Sawyer and I think it's going to be an awesome year for him.

Henry had to be in the pictures too.  I keep telling the older kids that they need to be nicer to each other because Henry is watching everything they do and copying them.

My handsome boys, man I love them!!

Logan was a little slower to move on the first day but once he fully woke up he was excited to get going.  His best friend ended up being in his class again this year and he was so excited about that.  His teacher is Miss Thompson and according to Logan she talks about her boyfriend a lot:/

All of my kids then wanted to take a picture together.  Olivia who is forever my poser had to stand just right and Henry had to see how many things he could hold:) His Teddy, Monkey and Blanket!! I love these kids!!!

For our back to school dinner we decided that this year all of our FHE's and efforts will be on Strengthening our family.  We called it Team Bishop! We just haven't been getting along as much as we would like to and so we are going to all try to make a conscious effort to be more patient, helpful, less angry, and fun to be around, so that we will want to be together forever.  The kids seemed excited about it and we all seem to be trying.  It's not perfect, but that's why we get a year to work on it.
