What kids say...

Tonight as I was putting our five year old to bed I noticed she was tryinjg hard to sob silently, but she was crying so hard. As I leaned over and asked what was wrong she left me almost speechless. Mommy, I don't want to get old and die, I don't know what its like, will I have blood so my body will stay together? As I cradeled her and tried to explain to her that she was just a baby and did not need to worry of such things, I shuttered. She was literally scared. So I tried to explain that God has prepared a wonderful place for us, and that Jesus will always be there with us to keep us safe, she seemed to be eased some and dozed off to sleep. Definetly something I did not think I would have to explain to my FIVE year old. Geez, what's the with drama at 5!

An Afternoon at Grandmas

Riley loves to play flower shop. Just a few pics. She did all the letters herself with a small amount of guidance for position. Amazing

New School Blues

Well, I guess we are well through the second week of school for Riley. I think she is adjusting better. The last couple of days have been better, at least. After much much agnst for her, and me, we finally came down to Riley having some anxiety about reading. So, Shane and I are taking the time to help her read everyday. We are starting with The EYE Book by Dr. Suess. We really have to make her sit still and try, but baby steps we take.

Happy Birthday

Today, I turned 36. Sadly life has been so busy, I haven't really had much time to reflect on this.....Maybe that's a good thing!!

Frog oots, Mommy!

OK, so this probably shows off how much of a redneck I can really be, but so cute. Elijah found Sissy's frog boots, and loves to wear them. These pictures were actually taken by Riley!! It was so hot outside and he was FIXING the jeep (the battery is run down). He said" Frog oots, mommy. Elijah fix it". My little man.

First Day of School

Well, today was Riley's first day of K-5. Even though we have been in K3-k4, today was particularly hard for me. I cried like a little baby. Riley on the other hand, was so excited. She got to walk in with her friend, Tanner. Let's all hope that this excitement continues through the years for school. Well, wishful thinkin' never hurt anyone. The outfit, from the headband to the hello kitty sandals was painstakenly picked out soley by Riley, and it was such a perfect fit for the personality! WHERE'S MY LITTLE GIRL!!!!!

MIA

So, i am sure you all have noticed that there has not been a recent post. We have just gotten our computer back after our two year old, decided it was pretty. So as soon as I get everything reloaded on it, I will get pics and updates.
