The Colorado Jeppson Crew: First Day of School and Piano Guys.

Mid to end of August alway is a sad time of year for me. It's the time when my chicks go back to school after having them around all summer. I am odd in that I love having all my kids at home with me. Too bad I am not more disciplined or I would homeschool. This year, all of my kids are in school again (boys went to pre-school last year). Last year I got the boys for half a day, and the same is true this year...so I get them most of the day for another year. That makes my heart happy. We have a Sophomore, 8th grader, 5th grader and 2 kindergarteners!

They did not even want a hug, too busy and ready to get school started. They had places to go and things to explore. Boy were they ready.

Depending on where we live next year, and what their middle school is set up like, this potentially could be this girl's last year in elementary school. A little heartbreaking. She has always been and will always be Daddy's little girl.

Knowing that this is a difficult time of year for me (close to January after Christmas is all put away) Matt surprised the girls and I with tickets to see one of our favorite groups in concert.

Piano Guys!!!!

We were so excited, and to make it even cooler we got to go to the famous Red Rocks Amphitheater in Denver.

We found a babysitter for the boys, and 5 of us went. It was a late night for a school night, but well worth it.

You can kind of see Jon playing his grand piano and Steve playing his Cello.

Not much better!

These pics were all taken with my phone. I had my really nice Nikon zoom camera with my spy lens and they told me I had to take it back to the car?! I guess camera's with detachable lenses are not aloud, who knew. I was super bummed, since I couldn't get a real nice pic. Our seats were general admission, but we got there super early so we actually had pretty decent seats. I was very pleased and excited. It was a great night for all of us!
