I am Two!

Our baby turned two! I Can hardly believe how fast 2 years has gone by! You wanted a butman party! So I was thinking of not doing anything big because would you really remember? Then i was looking at pictures of the older kids birthdays and how could we not celebrate you!

We had friends over to celebrate! We ate BBQ chicken and other yummy food. We all enjoyed cake and ice cream. It was so sweet that when we set the ckae in front of you, you lovingly looked at me and said "thank you mommy." Make me cry sweet little one1

I am so blessed to have you in my life! You talk a lot! And your amazing curls were something to be jealous of! I am so excited to be your mom and continue to watch you grow!

these 2 photos were taken by my pal erin

It wa so fun watching you open all your gifts! You caught on really quickly! And all of your gifts were toys you love!

New Calling..Kinda

So on Sunday I was realeased as 2nd counselor in Relief Society but 2 seconds later called back to the same calling. We have a new RS president. I am very exxcited to work with her and our new Presidency. I am a little nervous because I am the youngest and the ladies that I will be working with are WONDERFUL women! I hope that I can continue forward in this new/old callling!

My Little Girl

My Little Girl is not so Little anymore! In about 4 months she will be 8! A big one in our house.

I love her with all my heart and sometimes I don't like what she does, but she is it. My only girl. She will forever be my only girl. She certainly makes me work hard in the parenting skills department. I feel sometimes like I have failed with her.

I try to not compare her but I oft find myself doing so. I sometimes feel like I am going to have to pay out big bucks one day for therapy (for both of us).

She started 2nd grade and loves it! I was in her class today helping. She came to talk to me 3 different times. Of course it was at a time she could, not durring lesson time. And of course it was all stuff that could have waited until we arrived home. I enjoyed watching her. How she listened to her teachers directions and responed as fast as she could. How she looked so big to me sitting at the desk with her hands folded and a simle on her face, waiting for her teacher to notice her "being good." I don't know if her teacher noticed but I did. She is so beautiful! She is so big, she is so sweet, she is trying so hard, she is funny, she is only mine to mold for a little while longer! I hope we cna make it!

I love you Little Girl!

Field Trip to Fairy Tale Town

For the preschool field trip for September we got to go to Fairt Tale Town. B had tons of fun running and playing with his friends and my curly hair boy had ablast too! After we had a picnic lunch with friends in the park!

E L E V E N

My first born turns 11! I am so blessed to have him in my life. He made me a mother and teaches me everyday. He makes me want to be a better person!

My friend said you could make foundnt out of marshmallows so I tried it. It was pretty good. Such a sweet boy. all he wanted for his "party" was his friend to spend the night and have pizza.

So we did, just that. Had pizza, cake and ice cream and some gifts. He had fun and that is what matters most.

My little boy started middle school this year and it made me sick to my stomach! By his bday he had been going for a full month. He always reassures me that it is not too bad and that he likes it. He wakes himself every morning and is so responsible. He gets dressed, eats breakfast and practices the piano all with out being asked. Oh and he makes his own lunch! See what I mean, about teaching me everyday. I love him with all my heart!

B starts Preschool

My sweet little guy started preschool. This is his school photo. He loves going and I miss him while he is gone. He is my little buddy, my snuggle bug and helper. Baby A doesn't mind that his bro is gone, but he is happy when he comes home from "peeschool".

Summer Fun

So we have had an AMAZING summer! So busy I haven't had time to blog about it! We are doing well and getting used to school being in session. So come back soon (like in 2 weeks) and I will hopefully have posted more about our life this past summer!
