A moose we saw in the canyon
Big 5th grader
They are growing fast..
Bryce ready for first grade..So my kids started school August 18th which is strange to me....so early! I remember we went back the Thurs. after Labor Day. Well the first day I took the kids and showed Taylor where to pick up Bryce to grab the bus.....and as I walked out of the building I almost burst into tears! lol Which is HILARIOUS because I am NOT an emotional person! But it hit me that for the first time in almost 11 years I will not have at least a child with me.... Now let's be honest. Pre-school and kindergarten, well it's just a tease of 3 hours....and DOES NOT prepare you for all day...so the first week I spent in a bit of a fog....feeling like I was constantly forgetting something. Today I was at Home Depot (for an hour) and when the salesman was helping me for that full hour it was a whole new experience!!!!!! I was not saying thru gritted teeth "get off that, NOW" or "please stop hitting your brother/sister" and it hit me that I am really going to enjoy this new freedom. Now I have been entertaining the idea of another baby..but I think that was in the "fog" of the first week! And I look forward to when they get home because I have missed them all day...I think I may become a much better mom! ha ha
As for news with us......We are now officially homeowners!!!!!!! We move in this Sat. I am so excited! We will have a big back yard for the kids and the dog. We have some painting and need to replace the carpets in the bedrooms but it is OURS!!!!! We have seriously looked at 30 homes...and this was not what we were expecting our first house to be like but as soon as we walked thru I knew it was for us. I am not the person who wants the huge house and I don't like vaulted ceilings and I love that this house feels like the house I grew up in.....perfect! So I will Take pictures as we get the moving going and post them on here soon....Love to you all!
