Am I really old enough to have a 1st and 2nd grader?

As I walked my kids to their classrooms on Tuesday morning for their first day of school I had to take a deep breath and try my hardest to be strong. It seems like they just entered our lives and here we are taking them to school, leaving them in the hands of someone else for the entire day. There is so much uncertainty and I get so nervous. My kids, on the other hand, are much stronger than I am. I ask if they're going to hug me and they say "yeah, in the car!". Since when did it become "un-cool" to hug their mom? On the first day of first grade Tai hangs up his backpack and runs down the hall saying "I'm going to the playground!". Trey hangs up his backpack and goes directly to his desk to start coloring a page left on their desks by the teacher. At the end of the day, Tai tells me "I met a really cool friend and had an awesome day". Trey tells me "I began the day with zero friends because I didn't know anyone, but I ended the day with 20 new friends, and 20 out of 22 isn't bad!"(There are 22 in his class.) I LOVE MY BOYS!!! I hope they have a great year!

July-August 2010

The end of summer was full of fun! Lots of golfing, family BBQs, fireworks, motorcycle riding, boating, camping, fishing, family vacation and time with good friends!

The 4th of July was great with Craig's family. The 24th of July (aka Grandma Fern's Birthday) was great with my family! Fireworks are always fun.

We went boating with the Bird family, which was a lot of fun.

We went on a family vacation to Park City with Craig's family and had a good time! Lagoon, swimming, the Alpine Slide, Alpine Coaster and Olympic Park were all highlights.

We then went camping with the Bird, McKenna and Rios families. A great time with friends! The kids LOVED riding their bikes and fishing!

Can you believe summer is pretty much over? Not sure I'm ready for that...

RINA Training

Today is the last day of the RINA training that I have been coordinating. It has been held at the Escala Lodge in Park City and it has been really nice! If you have not visited the Escala Lodge at The Canyons, you definitely should check it out! So excited to check this project off my list though! It has definitely taken a lot of planning and hard work...
