First day of school

Well it's that time of year again. You know, the time where you spend all sorts of money on new clothes, shoes, backpacks, folders and everything else that is school related? Then you send them off to the first day of school and you take pictures and you say to yourself, "where has the time gone?" Well that is exactaly what has happened to me again!!! I can't believe I have a 3rd grader and I can't believe that Coleman is in Kindergarten! Seriously, where has the time gone? I am really starting to feel old! It felt weird to go over to the school after the bell rang to go home and to allow Coleman to get on the bus without me!! It was sad when I realized that it is time to allow both of my babies to take the next step into "growing up". I mean, I really want them to grow up but at the same time it is sad. Now if I could just get them to clean up after themselves. Doesn't that come with the growing up thing??????

The past 2 weeks!

The past 2 weeks have been soooo quiet at my house. My kids are with their dad in Oregon and won't be back until Tuesday, August 12th! I miss them soooooooo much! I have been playing with my nephews to try to fill that void. I have been trying to keep myself busy. I am in the middle of moving and I thought it would be such a great idea to pack the kids stuff while they were gone. I didn't realize how much stuff the have "collected". I spent a week in Lake Powell with some friends, last week I drove to Cortez, Colorado for the day for work and I have also been up to Idaho (that seems to be my favorite spot these days!) :) and in the morning I am headed for a vacation in Vegas! I am really glad my kids get to spend this time with their dad but I am going to be so glad to have them back home!
