School's Out...for now!

Over the last two weeks, so much has happened that it would probably take a novel to tell all. My kids are out of school for the summer. Levi is moving to the 8th grade, Myles to the 6th grade (middle school here), Elle is moving to 5th grade and Ashley to 1st grade. Ashley had a sweet kindergarten promotion, which I missed because I was on a field trip with Levi and the whole 7th grade. It was a last minute situation but I have the cd of pictures from her whole year in kindergarten. Then Myles had his 5th grade graduation ceremony and I have pictures to post. And then, on Friday night, June 15th, 19 years post high school graduation, I finally completed my coursework for my Associate's Degree. Yes, I am proud. Yes, it was difficult at times. Yes, I cried. But I am so happy I did it. And I could not have done it without the support of my family and friends. Over the next couple days I will post some pictures from that last week. I'll start with Myles' graduation. Enjoy!

Life in the Real World!

Let me preface everything I am about to say by saying, I have the most wonderful, intelligent, beautiful, talented children ever created! (now I've lost you because your thinking, she's wrong, I do, your right, you do too!) So why is it that they can also be the complete opposite(at times)? Why do I have to tell the same child everyday to not bring a blanket to the table. I tell them "Please get dressed before you come eat." Apparently, it is much easier to wrap oneself in a blanket and then have to fish your hands out to eat! Why does my child who can remember things from infancy(seems that way anyhow) have to be reminded every morning to "Please brush your teeth"? Why does my child, who can't stand for anyone to touch their belongings, think it is ok for them to get into my purse everyday and chew my gum, use my chapstick, and eat any mints that might be left from the previous days' rampage? How is it that my child, who thinks the world is their ca...

"Train up a child"

This is not just a cliche, it is scripture. And it may very well be one of the most used scriptures. On Tuesday night, my boys participated in their very first communion and foot washing service. Some may think they are too young and don't understand the symbolism, and that may be true, but being that they both have the Holy Ghost and have been baptized, I thought it was time for them to take part. I explained to them what would happen and the reasoning behind it. I also asked them to examine their hearts to make sure they were heaven ready. They both seemed to understand and they both expressed desire to follow through. It was all going well until Ashley realized they had something in their hand that she didn't. She asked me what it was, and I told her. Here is how the conversation went.. Ashley: "I want grape juice too!" Me: "Well, honey you are still too young." Ashley: "Why I too young?" Me: "It's for after you get the Holy Ghost and ...
