Growing Up!

Landon had high school orientation this week! Technically he's already in high school because he is in 9th grade, but it's like baby stepping into high school because 9th grade is still part of the junior high in Utah (I hate that, I think kids should get the full 4 year high school experience). 


Oh my goodness, driver's ed! We have another 3 months until Landon turns 15 so we've got a little while before he can learn to drive and start practicing. I am excited for him (because I remember how excited I was for me to reach this milestone) but nervous as his mother of course.


We wandered the halls for awhile to check the place out (we're clueless), and I really liked reading all the quotes they had on the walls. I love inspirational quotes and wish we had more of them on the walls at the junior high.


Symbolic photo no?


I love this guy so much and am so excited for him to have a great high school experience. I am one of the lucky ones who loved high school, so I have nothing but excitement for him. Of course, his high school is about 3 times larger than the one I went to, so his experience will be totally his own.

Hang tight! I goes way too fast!!!
Landon seems like such a great young man! I love your relationship with him!! Remember years ago you thought this stage of growing up would scare you? Looks like you are doing a wonderful job!

Lisa said it right, I remember way back when when you were worried about your kids being in the stage they are in now and look at you all, you're all thriving in it!

Landon seems like such a nice boy. I hope he has a great time in HS!

It sure was a fun night. I am not ready to teach another child to drive. The quotes sure are inspiring to me, if not to my children. Can't believe it is time to send our children to the High School!
