Ch, Ch, Ch, Ch, Changes....

I swear that I have the best intentions when it comes to writing in my blog...I SWEAR!  Time gets away from me so easily and I'm afraid it's only going to get worse.

This summer has been super fun.  I've enjoyed having the kids home a lot.  We got into a really great routine.  K wanted to join the swim team in High School so we spent the summer training and practicing.  This girl has never had a swim lesson in her life and I was worried that she would be really far behind.  We got together with her Young Women's President and worked almost every day.  Between going to Bev's and swimming mornings at SF Pool swimming has been on our minds for months!  I have to say that even though I did not enjoy getting up early most mornings to hit the pool by 7:30 am I did enjoy the time spent with just K.  She has grown so much and it was nice to hear her talk about stuff.  She has changed her plans for the future in the last few months and those plans are very nice!

In addition to having a HS freshman this year I also have L going to PreK.  Today is his first day and he rides the bus.  He's been so excited to go to "Real Preschool", he was outside 15 minutes before the bus time!  I have to admit that as much as I struggle with that little guy, I worry about him the most.  My other kiddos can handle themselves and know when to behave and know what is socially acceptable...not L, he is impulsive and curious and pushes the limits on rules.  We'll see how this preK thing goes.







My kids are pretty much adorable!

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.
