1st Day of School

Today emotions were high, the kids were up by 6:30, so excited for the big day. Hoping that they have some friends in thier classes and hoping that there teachers would be great! As I saw each of my kids off to school to day I was a little sad inside, for many years I have been the mother that was pushing them off of me and them screaming to come home, and this year they all got thier picture taken with thier teachers and ran to recess to find their friends. So proud I am at all of them for being so brave, but a part of me sad thinking they no longer need me. Tianna is in middle school now and informed me that she will be taking the bus this year, so that she can talk with all her friends. I love that she has finally become the social butterfly, and is friends with everyone. So here i sit with my baby Jordan who is trying to walk, and I am thinking how truly blessed we are to have 4 amazing kids. Thankyou, Heavenly Father for my amazing family!

All dressed and ready for the first day of school! They were all so excited! I am so glad they all enjoy school. hopefully, that won't change this year!

Here is my little boy Brandon and his 1st grade teacher Mrs. Cranmer. She is an awesome teacher and we love her! Brandon is going to be going to school all day this year and we hope he likes it!

Here is Dallen with his Third grade teacher Mr. Lloyd. Dallen is in the big kids hall way this year!

Tianna is riding the bus to the middle school this year, that's right middle school! She is so grown up now!

Jordan is trying to walk!!!

Jordan took his first step today!!!! He will be walking very soon! It makes me sad to see his baby ways, slowly go away. I am such a proud momma though! I wish I could love and cuddle him a little longer, but am so proud of how he is growing! As soon as he takes his first steps, I will b log right away!

To the best family a girl could have!

My family has helped me so much and continues to help me. So I thought I would give out a big thanks to all of them. Thankyou Mom and Dad for all the love, help and support that you give me and the kids. I am so blessed! There are so many wonderful, amazing acts of love and kindness that you have given me and the kids and Ernesto. I am so thanful for everything you do for us. Thankyou, to Joe and Val, for helping us with dallen's cubscout stuff and val for visiting me and being a good friend. Thanks to little jacob that comes over and plays and wears the kids out. We love you guys! Thankyou to Steve and Ivy, for always being willing to cut the grass, and for spending time with us when we are lonely. You are great friends! Thanks to riley for giving my kids another baby to love and play with! I am so thankful for all of you and truly blessed to have such an amazing family. I love you all so much!!!! Thankyou all!!!

This week has been harder than usual. I find myself crying alot, just because I miss my husband so much and life is happening and he isn't getting to be a part of it. Man, I really miss him! So me and the kids decided to take lots of pics and hopefully he will be able to see them!!! We love you!!!

Dancing Jordan

He loves this gummy bear song and dances like thos everytime he hears it!!!! He is just too cute!!!!!

Best Buds

So this is Riley and Jordan, Riley comes over almost every tuesday and visits us. As you can see the boys are becoming close. They have many things in common. They both have a passion for music, they both love a good game of peek-a-boo, they both love to help around the house(well they both love the broom and dustpan)! They both like to play hide and poop! The examples could go on and on. Hopefully, they will be good friends and good cousins!

This is another zucchini from our garden. They are growing so fast we can't pick them fast enough!!! This one is about as big as Jordan! we have tons of lettuce and all other things too!

To the GREATEST Grandparents a kid could have!

So you should all know by now that my Mom took Dallen on a trip to Georgia. Where My Dad met up with them shortly after they had arrived. Dallen's trip consisted of food, family and making a few friends. He also had a kick butt time! He still is talking about his trip and all the fun he had with Nana and Papa. I am forever blessed to have such wonderful, loving, kind, and just all around amazing grandparents for my kids! These trips that my kids go on with my Mom and Dad, make them feel special. For that time that they are on thier trip they are the only one that matters, and my parents do an amazing job of making sure that they have a great time. We as a family will take trips and vacations, but the trips they go on with my parents are nice because it is a special trip just for them. So Mom and Dad thankyou for making not just my kids but all of your grandkids feel special and loved!!!!
