Sydnie's first day of kindergarten

I am a little late getting these on my blog, I had a problem with my camera, I deleted by pictures, Oops!

So I finally got her to stand still long enough to take these. She really loves school and is doing well, but she does not like GYM or Recces. I keep telling David she is not my child, those where my to favorite subjects! LeAnn, I think she is more and more like you! :)

Your it!

Influence of mothers

Sydnie didn't see the humor in this, but I really had a great laugh at the situation, after she left the room.
Have you ever really sat down to think how much of an influence we are as mothers to our children... Yesterday I went to get my hair cut, I usually do not take any of my children with me, to me this is my time to get pampered after I have pampered everyone else. This time I had to take Sydnie with me, since she will not be in school for a couple more days. While getting my hair done I also got my eye brows waxed, and little miss "I don't miss a thing" must have been
watching very close.
Today she thought she would give herself a eyebrow wax with her Barbie band aids... she came down the stairs crying in despair... it hurts mommy please take them off! This was a picture moment that I could not pass up, so after a quick hug, I told her she would be OK and to just smile for me... I can't believe she was patience enough for me to get my camera.
I know that after this ordeal she will wait a long time to wax her eyebrows...

Fun in the sun

Cooper's First Day of Pre-school

Cooper had his first day at his new pre-school Camp Central at one of the local United Method's churches. As you can see he was all smiles, and ready for his big day.

His backpack is bigger than he is :)

Rewind back to summer

Where has the time gone, the kids just got out of school in May and now we are already into our third week of school.



I thought I would rewind the clock and look back at our fun summer... so if you would please stroll down memory lane with me.

Hunter's 1st Day of 6th Grade

Well it is officially, I have a 6th grader, that wears a size 7 1/2 men's shoe. Where has all the time gone. In most school systems 6th grade is the beginning of middle school, but in our backwoods part of the South we start them early in 5th grade. With this being said, Hunter thinks he is just like all the older kids, COOL... until I kiss him on the cheek and tell him good by in front of all his friends, the joys of being a mother!

Sydnie will be starting kindergarten this year, but they will not start until next week, so stay tuned for her first day.
