First Day of School 2009

They look all ready for school!  Madison is going into 4th.  Brennon is going into Middle School.  Jordan is going into 1st grade!

Madison absolutely loves her male teacher!  She is already making so many friends and seems so happy in her new class!  She is such a good student and loves to get herself up every day with her phone alarm.  She is a true trooper!!

Brennon LOVES middle school so far.  This was his first week!  He made it!  He rides his bike to school with some neighbor kids Ellen and Michael.

We had back to school night at the middle school last night and went through the class routine with a bell system and everything going to each of his classes with him for about 10 minutes while we heard a little about the class from his teachers.  Madison and Jordan thought it was super fun to go to Brennons classes and sit at the desks and all!  Is was a good time!

Jordan is also LOVING his first grade class!  He is making many friends and has especially taken one under his wing.  From the start of the second week of school, Jordan takes an extra snack for a boy in his class that he has become good friends with.  This little boy does not have a mommy that sends a snack with him in his back pack(the parents are supposed to send a snack because the first graders have such a late lunch).  Anyway, it makes my heart swell that he thinks of this friend every day and makes sure that he has a snack for him too......

Thanks for listening...

Smiles in our home make the spirit here all day long!

I love to see my little ones so happy!!  It makes me smile every time we see how happy it makes them to be here in our home finally!!  It was so worth the wait to see the friends they have made and the smiles on their faces!
So precious and cute!

Happy to be in our new home!!

 
Boy do they look happy or what?
We (and the neighbors) have recently been finding tarantulas on the lawn!!!!  OOOOHHH we love were we live!~
No we really do!! LOL

J's Famous Racetrack Made Apartment Style

 
This was Jordan's' famous racetrack that he made. This was shortly before we moved.  He wanted me to promise to take a pic so he could someday recreate it!  He thought it was the best he has ever made!  I thought it was impressive because it literally took up the entire apartment!!

Fun On the Farm at Thanksgiving Point May 2009


See this perfectly harmless calf J is feeding? He actually started to eat J's shirt!!! He got quite a ways before Jordan turned to me and gave me a look of horror while I was laughing historically!! It sure was fun!

They all posed great for this one, even Jordan who really does not like to have his pic taken!



Brennon was NOT going to let me get a pic of him doing THIS!!!
