She would kill me if she knew...

Grace apparently has a crush on a boy, *gulp* *yikes*. She decorated her poetry notebook to ensure that no one opens it, but she put all the incriminating evidence right on the front. Notice the G heart B and B heart G. I've seen this Bennet, he's shorter than her so I don't think it will last ;)

Preschool Girl

A little over a year ago I put Maggie on the waiting list for a preschool at the high school. There is one main teacher and the high school students help plan the curriculum and teach the kids (they all have background checks done, I checked :) ). It is a great preschool and REALLY cheap (like $15 a month!!) so you can imagine that the waiting list would be long. (I put Naomi on the list at the same time.) Anyway, I hadn't heard anything over the summer about her getting in so I was just keeping my fingers crossed for next year. Then about 4 days before the preschool was to begin I got a call from the teacher telling me that someone had dropped out and Maggie was in! She was so excited to start, and so far has l.o.v.e.d. it. A few days after she started she, out of the blue, said, "preschool makes me happy", awwww! I can't believe how fast my kids are growing up. Not to get off subject, but last week our lesson in family home evening was about baptism because Grace is going to be baptized in 6 months-how could it possibly have been almost 8 years ago that she was born?? Anyway, here are a few shots of the preschool girl.

Fun With My Phone

I am currently blogging from my new phone. Just because I can. Technology is so amazing. I have this really cool retro camera app. I love it! Here's a little taste of the awesomeness.

This Girl...

I love her so much. She is adorable, opinionated, onery, LOUD, busy, and completely awesome! Here is just a little snapshot of my days with Naomi Sage.

One of her favorites, climbing on the edge of the couch and jumping off.

A lot of these pics are blurry because SHE NEVER STOPS MOVING!

Love it!

He tolerates her ;)

Her all time favorite: pushing a chair over to the counter, climbing in the sink, playing with the water, getting water everywhere. *sigh*

Love this girl

I will call him....mini-me

I have a ton of stuff to blog, I just downloaded 250 pics from my camera, but I have no time!! Here is a quick one, that won't take much time but will make you smile :)

Elliot's first homework assignment as a kindergartener was to make a doll of himself. He was really excited about the assignment. He wanted to dress his doll just like he was dressed. Here is the finished product!

Cute boy...

Happy Saturday!

I will never forget.

35

I turned 35 last month. I wasn't excited about my birthday, to say the least. I kinda wanted to crawl under my covers and come out the next day when my birthday was over. I don't know what it was about turning 35 that filled me with so much dread. I guess I felt like my youth is officially gone (dramatic much? I know). But the day ended up being really great. My friend Misty took me to get a pedicure and gelato. Then I came home and found that Ray and the kids had made me this:

I think it is the first time in my adult life that someone has made me a cake on my birthday (except my mom, of course). Then Elliot gave me this drawing he had done:

Be still my heart, sweet boy!

Then I got to go out to dinner with Ray while my friend Misty watched my kids (she did double duty that day!).

So, happy birthday to me! 35 isn't so bad after all, well, except for the wrinkles ;)
