Their first day of school - It was bitter sweet for me to drop them off this year! They have been bored for a while, and they've been fighting a bit - so I was so ready for them to go back! We needed structure (not that I couldn't do it - but school helps a ton, when you have to be up and ready!!) They got up early, we went for a walk - got showered, ready, dressed and at the breakfast table ready to read scriptures at 7 a.m.! We had time to visit, give advice and instruction - and not feel so rushed! Brian and I dropped all the kids off - Jarret was first, and my kids all said Mom are you crying yet? I said heck no - we dropped Tawnee off - she immediately found her friends, we dropped Jord off and he headed to see Grama, and then went over to the High School and let Jeremy out! THAT was when I lost it!! I never thought I'd cry (other than sending all my kids to Kindergarten!) I was SUPER scared for Jeremy - all the others are in the same schools that they have been in for a while! All my kids are in a different school this year, and I was just so worried for Jeremy! High School was a blast for me, but I remember being a freshman, not knowing the school, having kids soooo much bigger than me, and having to remember my classes, trying to find my friends! Boy, did all the memories come rushing back! Well they all survived - they actually loved it! Jarret said this was the best day of his 3rd grade life! Jeremy, Tawnee, and Jord are all in sports - so we don't even see them until 6 or 7:30 - which is crazy for dinner time, but we'll try to make it all work!! Then came this morning - the NEWNESS has worn OFF! Back to the same 'ole same 'ole!!

Yesterday was a hard day for me. Riley started 1st grade. I thought I would be excited for him-but I found myself missing him all day. You always think you are ready for your kids to grow up and move on to the next phase--BUT it makes me sad that he will never again be a baby or a toddler. It just goes way too fast:(
Oh They all look so cute!!! and GROWN UP!! ( and I think they like Aeropastel!!! ha ha)
Tell Jordon he is so sweet to give the money back that we gave him for babysitting!! He was such a great babysitter and my BOYS had a blast!!!
It was good seeing you!! Hope all goes well with the new school year!!
Oh you totally just made me cry reading that. I know just how you felt. I was o.k. with all of them until I left Jordyn and she was crying and did not want me to leave. Today was a little better because they all walked and I didnt have to take anyone.
It's a love hate thing I know! They all look super cute! I dont' blame you for crying about Jeremy! I would too! That's such a huge step, but he will do amazing!
