she is definitely K's sister!

One day K decided he was going to help mommy and clean out the hall closet. He wanted "rocks" so he could have more wii time! So intentions weren't necessarily to help mommy but for his own benefit. :) hey, I'll take it! In the process, A2 found lots of fun accessories. It was ReALLY hot that day. I went outside to see what the kids were up to and this is what I found. Silly girl! She was so happy in her Sassy's winter hat, K's flip flops and her gloves. I didn't get a picture of the gloves on. She was quite the looker!

She was also running around the yard "picking flowers". :)

two silly girls

I was doing a newborn photo shoot at Amy's. The girls were with me and had been very good girls. But eventually they wanted in on the fun. Amy had a straw hat lying around and the girls thought they were cute in it. I was more than willing to catch their silliness on camera!
I LOVE MY LITTLE GIRLS!!!

Nothin but smiles!

Funny Kid Quote of the Day

C graduates from Elementary

I still can't believe we have a middle schooler in our house. Mom, is a bit scared for him. Lockers, class schedules, sports, more rude kids, HOMEWORK! Ok, mom is scared for herself too! C is a very introverted child. He hates standing in front of a crowd and having to face them. It makes him very nervous and uncomfortable. I was so proud of C! He did a great job getting up in front of 175 of his classmates families, perform a song and walk across the stage to get his certificate/diploma thingy. You can tell in the picture above he wasn't thrilled about it.......

..... until he had that baby in his hand. He immediately sat down and flashed mom a big C smile! I LOVE HIM!

Now don't get me wrong, I am very proud of him and his accomplishments. He finished the year with straight A's! I'm beyond proud and believe they deserve to be recognized but I think the full on elementary graduation is ridiculous.

MOM! How much does glass cost?

Yes.... this is the question I get from K at 6:50am while waiting for the school bus. I knew this wasn't good! I walked outside and discover K was trying to prove to C that he could throw rocks further. We now know that maybe not farther but definitely harder.
as you can see, ( i couldn't tell until later in the morning) the rocks he threw went right threw the window. Found the rocks on the inside.

We also now know that safety glass does what it's suppose to. it shattered into thousands of tiny pieces but i held in place nicely. Unfortunately, this was the first of May and of course, it thunderstorms almost every afternoon. When I called the window replacement company, the gentleman advised me to call my insurance but DO NOT tell them that my 8 year old did this; to just say I woke up and found my van this way. Well, our insurance agent is a member of our ward and a good friend. I talked to him and he couldn't believe that K actually did this. But he said we had comprehensive coverage with no deductable. PHEW... K's butt was saved. Our prayers were answered. I didn't have to come up with a $300 that day but i still wasn't happy with K.
