WOW

I can't believe that it has been so long since I have posted. I have honestly been so busy this school year that it comes as no surprise. Between my own classroom, Carson in school, Lauren at pre-school, yadayadayada....you get the point....

ANYWAY!!!! This week marks BIRTHDAY WEEK. Carson will be 6 on Saturday. We had his birthday at his Tae Kwon Do school this past Saturday. What a blast. Chris is in Vegas for work so I had the help of a couple of my good friends lurking in the shadows to jump in when I needed them! :)

Here is a sneak peek of the big day!

It just can't be...

There is NO way that the summer is over. I have enjoyed spending it with our children. I can't think of anything else I would rather be doing with my time. They are so precious. Chris and I enjoy every day with them.

I also cannot believe that I am sending my sweet son to kindergarten. I remember my first day of kindergarten. I did not want to go. I know his first day will not bring tears, fear or reservation...at least not by him. Me on the hand may feel all of those emotions. Just kidding. I am so excited that he is going to be challenged each day. This kid is ready. For the last nie years I have traveled to school alone. In my tenth year, I get to share "the ride" with him. I am so proud of him and feel blessed to watch him grow over the next 5 years at "our" school.

Lauren will be moving to her new classroom the same day Carson begins his first day of school. I can already see our little girl following in her brother's footsteps. She loves to be read to and has started "reading" books to me. She often says, "Let me do it". She is an absolute joy. Caring, fearless, bold...I love watching her dance and sing. Hard to believe when Carson was her age we were preparing to meet her!

Incredibly blessed....Immeasurably loved! What more could I ask for?

Preparing for the 4th...

We decided to have a little fun last night outdoors. My sweet husband bought the items to roast hot dogs, marshmallows, and s'mores. Chris set up the tent so he and Carson could camp in the backyard. Every son's dream! We made a fire on our back patio. The kids just loved it. Lauren did not like the s'mores, but ate about 10 marshmallows. Carson enjoyed roasting them. We let him be a real camper and put sticks on the fire. We sat around our "campfire" and enjoyed being together. I FINALLY convinced Chris that we need a real fire pit! That will be our fall project.

I have to say a BIG thank you to Chris. He unloaded 4 loads of mulch yesterday, put in another new bed in our front yard and still managed to have enough energy to entertain all of us.

Can't wait to see what today brings...

HAPPY 4th of JULY!!!

S'mores and camping

Our kids love dressing up in costumes. It just so happens that Lauren figured out that she could now wear Carson's old NASA costume. This has been a favorite even though it is way too short for Carson. He still wears it. Gigi brought it back from Texas for him while she was at MD Anderson. These pics were too cute to pass up! Enjoy them. Sweet little Lauren

Carson

Our beautiful and bright son. What more could I ask for? He is absolutly the most intresting child I have ever met. Intelligent, creative, bold, & fearless. He was definitely created just for us...I enjoy watching him grow and change each day.
