It's a Small World

Sea World

Star Student

Morgan was picked as the Star Student! The best part of the week was bringing home Freedom Bear and taking him everywhere. She wrote about her adventures and told the class about them. I was able to visit her classroom today and watch as she bravely and proudly stood up and told about herself and her family. She did an incredible job and I was so amazed at how grown up she is. You go girl!

Off to the Dbacks

Seth invited some of his best buds, Gavin, Dallin, Cole and Sam to celebrate his birthday by watching the DBacks play baseball. After a little bit of homemade cake and opening some awesome presents they all loaded up in the van with Dad and took off. It was the easiest birthday party I have ever had to put on! Let's do this every year Seth!

Happy 11th Birthday Seth!

Happy Birthday Seth! His dinner request was an In-n-Out Burger so we met all the family there and filled our bellies with the best burgers around. He has his first official scout campout Friday and a birthday bash Saturday. More pictures to come! We love you sweet Seth!

Back to School!!

Well folks, I'm all alone today. We dropped off our beautiful children off at school and I had to laugh because they all chose the same outfits. Their choices are limited so the chances of that happening were quite high. Morgan was adorable last night as she tried on about 100 bows. She kept on saying with each one, "That's not bad" and then on to the next. Her teacher has to the sweetest person alive. I think we lucked out this year. She was so brave and sat right down at her desk. There is no sign of fear on this girl. The boys were sent to the playground and they actually let me give them a kiss on the check with kids swarming the hallways. Joel and I walked out of the school empty handed. Are we really old enough to be empty nesters? I thought I was okay until I walked into our quiet house and then the tears came down. I'm sad....

I won't be sad for long though. I get to pick Morgan up from school in an hour. Half day kindergarten will fly by!

Bright and Early

5:50 a.m. (waiting for Grandpa)

Seth was up and ready for golfing with Grandpa Larry at 5:30 this morning. I woke up to noises in the kitchen and found him completely dressed and making his breakfast.
I love having an independent son. I did have to remind him about the sunscreen though.

6:00 a.m.

10:00 a.m.

He had a great time but was pretty tired when he arrived home. He's sleeping on my bed right now trying to catch up on his sleep. Thanks Grandpa for taking him.

Seth will always be a willing golf companion!
