NieNie Donations needed

As I was surfing, I came across this horrific story about a young couple who were in a plane accident and both are in the hospital in medical-induced coma's and have severe burns all over their bodies. They have 4 young children and are in need of our help and prayers. Please read here for donation info and a regular update. My heart cries out for them and their families. I don't know them personally, but I do know they are LDS and for some reason that makes me more drawn to them and their story.


In other news, DH leaves today for 6 days of hunting/vacation from work, home, family, church... He is so excited he can hardly wait! :) Good luck love~~ slay one for me. :)

I DIDN'T CRY!!!

I am so proud of myself! I didn't cry when I dropped {A} off for Kindergarten today. He was shy, as usual, but he did go in and sit down when Mrs Mary asked him to. I am so pleased with how brave he was! :) This is going to be a GREAT year!

6 more days til...

my BABY goes to school! I am so proud of {A} and all the successes he has had lately, but boy, I am so sad he is old enough to venture off into this scary world called school. We went and met his teacher, Mrs. Mary yesterday for our one-on-one meeting. She is super nice and sweet, and I was so proud of {A}. He was brave and talked to her when she gave him a little quiz. They walked around the room to understand all the different stations, and I loved that he was brave enough to ask her questions when it was his turn.

I am not sure how I feel about this whole education thing. I know it is definately the best for him--he is SO ready to learn! But, I worry that public school is the best choice. I think that maybe I should look into private or charter schools, I just know that they are much more inconvenient, and where I am tending kiddos 3 days a week, that would be too much for me! So, in 6 days, {A} toddles off to Kindergarten! I love you, son, and am so proud of you! I hope I can just keep it together til I make it home--so I can cry in private!! :)

{A}'s swim lessons

So, here are the swim lesson pictures as promised. This is session 1, I have some from session 2, I just can't get them off my camera!! Grrr... He did so well in session 1. His cute teacher was Jordan, and she really helped him progress. His second session, however, was a disaster! There were 11 kids in his class and he had a very new teacher, Charlie. He wasn't very aggressive to help the kids progress very far. I was very dissapointed. Hopefully next year will be better. But, these picts are still cute, and I wanted to share.

these boots are made for walking....

I can't remember if I shared this picture before... in May we went and bought {A} a new pair of boots--he had completely worn out his old pair... and that meant we definately had to get {K} a pair, too. I just think they are so cute standing next to each other. I have been super busy lately, and I can't get my camera to download picts right now, so bare with me--I will get back into the swing of things soon. :)
