I promise we're alive!


Just had to post a few pics of my kiddos so that everyone knows that they're still alive. Camden started Kindergarten on Aug. 19th, and here's the kicker: it's ALL DAY!! Yup, that's right folks I booted my eldest son out of our home for the majority of the day. He catches the best at 8:50am and by the time I pick him and we get home, it's 4pm. Yeah, I only spend four hours a day with him. I'm in heaven!! Okay, I know that sounds bad but I've had a really bored six year old all summer and he LOVES school. His school does an integrated grade program so half the kids in his class are in K and the other half are in first grade. He'll have the same teacher for two years in a row and as a kindergartner, he'll get to do science, social studies, math, reading, music, gym, art, library, recess and lunchtime. He's so excited to go every morning and he had his first math homework assignment yesterday. How cute is that?! I don't have any pictures of him in his classroom because he wouldn't let me walk him in. Independent little twerp. doesn't he know that his helicopter mother needs to make sure that everything is okay and that he's settled and etc. ? NO? guess he didn't get the memo.

I'm lame. I just noticed that my last post which was eons ago, was actually posted ON my anniversary and I didn't even say anything about it!! Seriously, I wonder what is wrong with me sometimes. Just for the record:

I have been married now for 8 while YEARS!! Crazy, much? yeah, I thought so. My hubby and me found each other at a very young age and have been slowly growing up, and older, together every since. I adore him though. If I'm in a crummy mood, he just has to smile and my dark, brooding thoughts are magically whisked away. We've never had a perfect marriage, in more ways than I care to share, but we've always been determined to come together and work for the common goal of our eternal family. I love you babe!

I've been lazy and awol for a while trying to apply for my final for my LAST class from BYU and then I'll get my diploma in December. Can I get a WOOT! WOOT!? I'm a nerd, I know. It's been a little hectic but life is good. I have an extremely happy and well-adjusted six year old, whom I have a great name-calling post to write about later. I have a sweet three year old, who will be starting preschool on Tues/Thurs. from 1-3pm in two weeks. I have a husband who is pretty hunky and happens to love me a whole lot and it's starting to feel like fall!! yeah, what more could I ask for? hmmm...well, I could ...nevermind.

Congratulations on seeing the finish line. I am so glad you will be done in December, then you can find other things to fill your time. HA as if with two active boys you really need anything to fill your time. The thought of all day kindergarten scares me...of course Meg is so clingy right now that I can't even go to the bathroom by myself, so if this continues I am sure I will sign her up for kindergarten at 2 years old and get over my current kindergarten phobia!!!
