More Firsts!!

Mitchell had his first football game last night. They started out well, scoring the first touchdown. But lost the game anyway. It is interesting to watch parents and how wired they can get about 7th grade football. We are hoping that this season is more positive experience for him.

Mitchell is #44.

Nice backdrop for a football game!

And We're off to Kindergarten!

Emma started Kindergarten today! Wow, lots of mixed emotions about that. She was so excited that when she got up this morning she was ready to hit the ground running. It was torture for her to wait until 11:30 to get her uniform on. She was very brave and so was Mum!!! I held it together very well. At least until I had to deal with Kiana. We saw Kiana in the playground and she wanted me to come see her when I was done with Emma. She was having a very hard time, the change has been pretty tough for her! She misses her old school and friends. I had to use some tough love and make her stay at school for the afternoon. That's when I lost it. We are all ok now!


Isn't she so cute!

High School!

So...my biggest baby is officially at the big new High School! Where have the years gone? I don't think I'm ready for this stage of life. Wasn't I just there?!!! Kelti started her Sophomore year at the brand new High School. She was quite nervous about the whole thing, but very excited too. The school is amazing, over 1700 students, second largest school in the state. And the bonus is she likes all her teachers! Now that is amazing!!!!

Kelti also had her first cross country meet on Thursday. She was very excited and loves being on the team, but just before the race told me she didn't think she could do it. It was just nerves and she felt like she was going to be sick. She did good, despite the almost 100 degree weather. And her dad couldn't have been more proud! (Marcus ran cross country in University)


Way to go Kelti!!

First Day of School!

Today is the first day of school...and a new school for Mitchell and Kiana! Mitchell starts Middle school, he's getting so big! Kiana is in third grade. We moved them to a new school this year too. It is and elementary/middle school. This is in hopes of a better education! I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Mitchell was not the happiest camper on the planet. He's not a big fan of school and a new school didn't help. Kiana was a bit nervous, but was a real trooper. I think the picture says it all!!

I had to really work at getting a smile out of Mitchell. They have to wear a uniform at this school. Needless to say...Mitchell wasn't thrilled about that one either. But I don't think that the uniform is too bad!?
I will probably win the "Big, Ugly, Mom Award" for this one!!!!
