BACK TO SCHOOL

where did the summer go?
spent the day
attending my last and final
back-to-school night at
CASCADE ELEMENTARY
all four of our children attended this great school
it's time for me to grow up and leave
GO, CASCADE COUGARS
spent 1 1/2 hours in the counseling center this morning
finalizing the schedule for my third, Mitchell
OREM HIGH TIGER
WOW!
really cool note,
he went to find and check out his new locker,
while opening, looked up to see a sign from 2007
SUPERLATIVE SENIORS from that class
to see his older brothers name,
FUTURE U.S. PRESIDENT - ALEC FOWLER
a neat thought that his older brother will be watching over
the younger brother as he takes on high school.
GO OREM TIGERS!
