1st Day of School

These are always very happy and very sad days for me. I love the excitement of school supplies, new teachers, old friends, new places, recess, ect. But I hate the fact that time is rushing past without a second thought. I think that having a disease that gives you the chance to view your mortality changes ones outlook on life. I know things that most 30 yr olds don't. And sometimes I hate that, while sometimes it is the coolest gift ever. I guess lots of things are like that. Today was a milestone for B, Junior High. I hope that it is the coolest experience and he is able to take advantage of the time and carefree life he has. Thought I'd post a few pics of both the kids this morning. Lexi was super excited until we got in the car and then her stomach starting hurting. You can see her carefree expressions turn to worry but I know by the time 1st recess is about to start she is going to be running the show. They sure are fun!

B's Braces

Well things here are as busy as can be. My blog and I have not been together for some time but we are attempting to get more acquainted in the upcoming months. I have failed at my blogging; here is one of the many excuses to keep me off the computer.

Isn't he handsome... and wow the new grilz are cool. Hoping it is worth every penny, and there were lots of pennies in this one!

Science Fair

We Almost Made It

Bailey made it to our regional science fair and we had the competition yesterday and while he didn't make a place in regionals I was so proud of him. We have never done a fair that was bigger than the school sponsored fair. He did well. He had fun. Just wanted to brag on him because he never lets me down. I have been having some issues with our current school system and I am debating (pretty much decided) that homeschooling might be the way our family needs to go. I want them to be involved in everything they can and as we sat in this fair I realized that even kids who are home schooled can do these things with the schools because we still pay taxes and they have to be allowed the same opportunities. Who knows, If anyone has advice... send it my way. I can take as many opinions as I can get. I know every mom out there wants their kids to thrive and do the best ... I just want to make sure they are getting the best. All in all... wanted to brag and put some pics of one handsome boy up. He deserves it!

This picture is the reason why people say a picture is worth a thousand words. My eyes teared up when I saw this picture because as my "baby" gets older...this is what I feel in my heart.
