Day One of School!!!

The kids had an awesome first day of school. Roman woke up VERY nervous about the whole thing but eased into it. Reagan suggested they wear matching shirts and I have to admit, Roman was very thrilled to be wearing the same thing as Reagan. They also looked stinking CUTE!!! Roman starts Kinder this year while Reagan goes to 4th Grade. Big years for both kids!!! Here's to a year full of friends and fun. Hugs.

New Teacher Gifts

For the past 3 years, I have have been on the PTO board or very active in the PTO. It has been fulfilling but VERY tiring. This year I am taking a break. It feels amazing to be able to breathe. So I decided to throw together some little gifties for the kids new teachers. I put some "smartie" candies in pink bags and tied on a pencil, gomu erasers, B&BW hand sanitizer and a cute little nail file. I have never had the time to make something in years past because of t-shirt sales and other PTO duties. It felt great to create something for these special people in my kids lives!!! Hugs

Bring On The Tooth Fairy!!!!!

Well he did it !! He lost a tooth !! I am the one that pulled it out but he was so cute and danced around the room. Bring on the first day of school !!

We Love This Girl

Halle came to the beach with us this weekend and she is ABSOLUTELY the sweetest girl ever!!!! I wish Reagan had a dozen more friends just like her. She is polite, but speaks her mind. And she is so tolerant of little Roman. She just lets him tag along without missing a beat. We took her to Schlitterbahn and it was her first trip. Those kids about wore me out. Shannon, you raised her right, you should be proud.

20 Days

We have had the BEST jumpstart to our summer.....20 straight days at the beach house!!!!! We had so much fun and entertained some fun guests while we were there. We watched Jaws together for the first time, found two sand dollars, went to schlitterbahn 5 times, baked in the sun with Tanya, celebrated 2 birthdays (Slade and MiMi), made homemade ice cream, went to the movies, napped in the hammocks and frankly just RELAXED!!!!! I was fantastic!! Enjoy the Pictures!!! Hugs

A Little Surgery For A Little Boy

My sweet little boy needed a little surgery on his tongue to help him with his speech. Today was the day. He was was such a brave little boy. He was a little hungry!!! There were two very funny moments that I have to share. The first was when the nurse came to take him back for surgery. We had told him all about the nitrous oxide, how you breathe it in and it makes you sleepy and when you wake up it is all over. Well, as she is walking him down the hall he is saying "I will not breathe it, I will not breathe it". Jerad and I laughed our butts off. The second funny was when he woke up and was a little mean from the anesthesia. He is crying a little and then looks his nurse straight in the eye and says "I want every wire off of me right this minute". Again, Jerad and I laughed because that is soooo not Roman. He is the sweetest boy ever. He took a nap, built Legos and is now watching a movie with his dad. It has been a very long day.

I am grateful for my healthy children and hospitals to make them well again when they are in hurting.
