The First Day Of School

Today was the first day of school. Alex started Kindergarten and Emily started Preschool (if you ask her she will say "I am going to Pretty School"). They both did really well and were very excited. Alex was up and dressed at 4:30 this morning, he cried when I told him it wasn't time to get up for school yet.

Homemade Butter

It has always been my dream to make homemade butter with a butter churn. Well I don't have a butter churn, but I found a great recipe for homemade butter in a jar. Me and the kids had a blast making butter, and even more fun tasting it.

Summer School Time

I love school and school supplies,

as soon as they went on sale

I bought the kids there own little school

box filled with goodies for them to use

when we play school at home

What's Inside? Does Anyone Know?

SURPRISE!

The kids love playing hide-and-go-seek. Most day's before dad gets home, he calls to let me know he is on his way. I tell the kids to hurry and hide, than when daddy gets home he goes around the house trying to find them. This was one of their hiding spots. It took daddy a wile to find them. (mom did a little misdirecting to help)

To My Staff Sergeant.

You have worked long and hard for more than a year,

and now the promotion day has finally come.

Your efforts and sacrifices are much appreciated.

I love you and am so glad that you are mine.

A big

CONGRATULATIONS

for my husband Shane.

he was a Senior Airman but now he is a Staff Sergeant,

Today he sewed on his E-5 stripe.

Brotherly Love

I went into Alex and Andrews room

to check on my boys before I went to bed,

and this is what I found

Andrew had climbed out of his crib

and crawled into his big brothers bed.

Aren't they so adorable?
