First day of kindergarten



Yes my little baby girl started kindergarten today. I am so proud of how well she handled it. Not only is it everyday, its ALL DAY. Whatever will I do? She's always been pretty independent though. Rob went in late to work so he could come with us to walk her into school. She gave us hugs and kisses and walked right in. She sat down in her seat and began coloring. Porter kept yelling for her, then as we were turning around to leave he began crying for her, then as we were almost out of the building the bell rang, and scared him, which made him cry more. I on the other hand made it into the car before the waterworks began. She's my little girl, and I feel like she's growing so fast. I'm so proud of her and the amazing lessons she teaches me. I truly don't deserve my babies. I am blessed beyond belief, and am so grateful Heavenly Father trusted me enough to send her to me. I love you Savanni!




This week has been pretty busy and this weekend will be even busier, but so much fun. On Sat night our friends James and Lauren and their 2 boys stayed the weekend with us, and it was so nice to hang out with them again. We met them while we were living in St. Louis, and its so nice that we are still close to them and really enjoyed their company.

I passed

Oh yes my friends, the end has come, at least for another 3 weeks! I finished that dreaded summer semester! I finished those classes with b's which is quite amazing if you remember the crying and murmuring I did at the beginning of the semester! I have 3 weeks of freedom beofre fall semester begins, and oh I will enjoy it. I'm actually looking forward to my fall schedule . I'm taking 2 more history courses, a math course, and a science. Since I love history and science, I'm very excited and as a bonus I get the same 2 professors I've had 2 other times, so I should know what to expect from them.

A look back










I just wanted to take a minute and tell my Savannah how great I think she is. I was so young when I had her, and never imagined how different my life would be with her in it. I went to register her for kindergarten today, I got a little teary eyed on my way home. I just thought back about how incredibly fast the last 5 years have flown by. She has changed and grown so much, and I am so proud of her. I was cleaning out the computer desk today and going through old cds and cam across Savannah's 2nd birthday pictures! Porter will be celebrating his 2nd birthday next month (don't even get me started on that one) and so I popped the cd in and ...oh my heavens! Savannah looks a lot like Porter. I can catch glimpses of similarities, but I had no idea how similar they are. I know the grandparents will love these!

Not too much to report. Just wanted to keep things updated. I have exactly 1 more homework assignment and 3 quizzes left in these crazy classes and I will be done for this semester! Yahoo! We have had an amazing summer, both kiddos are old enough to do fun things everyday, and I'm sad that Savannah will start school in 3 weeks! What in the world will I do without her all day?! Well, we won't think about that right now. We went to our sprinkler park today, and it has been in the 100's here forever (well, it seems like forever when its that hot) but today was an exception it was a really nice day. Tonight was such a great Family Home evening. Savannah wanted to give the lesson, so we were excited to let her do that. She made some little picture sticks in Primary yesterday so she taught us about the First Vision, and I was amazed by everything she knows...the kid is such a sponge. After that she threw a "dance party" we all put on silly clothes and danced danced !! It was so much fun. I have some pretty cool kiddos!! I love you babies! Thanks for letting me be your mommy!

Happy Birthday Robbie!!




My Rob turned 32 today. I know I've bragged about my Rob before, but today is his birthday so whats one more time? In October it will be 7 years since our first date. I knew from that first date that there was something different about him and boy was I right. We've been through crazy times together, and marrying him was hands down the best decision I've ever made. I'm so glad Porter has Robbie to teach him how to be an amazing father and husband. I love how he comes home for lunch everyday, and is so happy. He really knows me and accepts me despite my flaws. He makes me feels so loved and appreciated. I love the fact that he feels like his main goal in life is to be a good father and husband...and he really is. I love his crazy sense of humor, and how much he treats and loves my family as his own. He is always trying to be better or improve himself. Happy Birthday Robbie!! I love you more than you will ever realize! You are everything to me...thanks for all you do and I hope you enjoy your day!
