It's that time again

School started for 3 of my kids today.  I had one going to Jr. High, one in 2nd and one in Kindy.  Kindy only lasted 10 minutes today so tomorrow is the "real" first day.

K was so nervous to start middle school that she cried herself to sleep last night.  This morning she was a wreck trying to find the right things to wear, including but not limited to the right kind of socks.  You would think socks would be a no-brainer but they were the hardest part of the whole outfit.  She ended up looking fabulous and had a really great day.  At the beginning of summer I was thinking how could they send my little girl to Jr. High so soon, but somehow this summer she has grown so much that she seemed just as big and ready as the rest of those kids there.  Funny how it all took care of itself.

O, well what can I say about O, she loves school.  Always has and probably always will.  I think it's the social thing for her and the fact that her teachers love her cuz she's a bit of a suck up.  She was excited about the teacher she got because she had beautiful blonde hair and pretty shoes.  The dress she has on in the pictures is one that I made for her for the first day of school.  She picked the fabric and I was worried that she would look a lot like a circus performer but it really turned out cute.  It really captures her style.

C, was buzzin' today he was so excited for school.  He can't wait to go tomorrow and stay at school all day.  He doesn't want me to drive him, he's excited about the bus.  Luckily he has O's former Kindy teacher and she rocks, so I know he's in good hands.

L is taking me to breakfast tomorrow, then maybe a nap.  We have until 3:00...what shall we do????




This is what Momma looked like on their first day, note the big smile!!!

Today we went to our new ward.  We still have one more week in our current ward but we just wanted to check it out, get our faces known, and possibly drum up some help to unload a moving truck in a couple weeks. Can I just say it was amazing!  We've been to this ward before when Chris was on the High Council so there were a few familiar faces.  That wasn't the amazing part... For the last 2 1/2 years Chris has struggled going to church.  The first year was due to the fact that he was in the hospital and fighting for his life and was unable to physically attend.  Frankly the whole family struggled that year and we stayed home for months because it was too painful to go.  The last year and a half Chris has struggled due to anxiety and panic about church.  He still has a testimony and loves the Gospel, he helps get the kids ready for church and attends when he can but for the most part I'm a single mom when it comes to church attendance.  He cann...

Sometimes life changes and we are all trying to catch up

From day one I could tell there was something different about L...he is my 4th child and right from the start I could tell.  I didn't know I could tell.  I knew he was different from my other kids but I didn't have a clue as to why, or what our future would bring. L was my most sweet baby.  All babies are sweet you say, all babies are different.  I know all babies are sweet but I mean this baby was SWEET.  He slept through the night almost from day one, to a mom 6 hours is like an eternity so I'm calling it through the night.  He rarely cried.  When he did and all the normal boxes were checked, feeding, changing, hot/cold, he just wanted to be left alone.  He would lay for hours on the floor on a blanket and watch life happen.  Then he would just fall asleep and take a nap and it was wonderful.  Being a mom of many kiddos it was like this baby was sent to me on purpose to make it easy.  Usually I have a baby and think "I'm not eve...

Our 68 Whiskey

All the fretting and studying and worrying and starving paid off!  K scored an excellent score on her ASVAB, better than most people!  She was able to pic the MOS (job) that she wanted and is happily enlisted in the US Army as a 68W (combat medic).  She has a ship out date of June 21 2017 but when she gets her diploma in her hot little hand in December she will renegotiate her contract and try and leave earlier.  This is a huge sigh of relief for her and a bit of a sigh of anxiety for her momma!  That's ok she is following her dream and doing what she will love.  I have faith that she will succeed!  Love that girl of mine.
