Back 2 School 09

Wow where has the time gone? My twins are entering into "the years the count" ! Thats how they refer to it.. So what have I been worried about the past 10 years lol? My precious daughter is starting her 1st year as a real Lady Eagle (7th grade sports)and my baby boy starts his last year at the Primary. It's so bittersweet. I can't help but wonder where Amelia would fit in all this if she where here (pre final repair surgery) I do know God had bigger and better things for her. I also know he has great things for the 4 He has let me keep. Its an emotional day and I'm sure it always will be. But, I wont cry I will just be thankful for what I do have! I am so blessed to have kids that keep me laughing. If that picture could talk you would be laughing too! Have a blessed day..kiss your kids and tell them that you love them even if they think you're dumb! :D

Again I'm glad these pics can't talk!

Our tradition a pic of him standing by his name...I wonder how much longer he will let me do that?

Another year closer...

Well summer is quickly coming to an end. My twins are another year closer to graduating from high school. They will be 15 in Sept and I just shutter everytime I think of that. Adrienne will be 14 and I look at their lives and realize they are at a point where I can't make all the decisions for them. I have to give them to God and pray that over the past 15 years I've instilled something good in them. I see my daughter already struggling with choices which path to go down. I see my sons trying to figure out who they are and what that means their battles with God and how much they are willing to relinquish to Him. I watch them and just wanna run up to them and turn them in the right direction but know I can't. When I was their age I had already messed up so much more. I guess in a sense that's a victory I have to take these small wins and cherish them. I know God has their hand on them. I just have to rest in that knowing He is in control.

On a happier (however you wanna look at it) my baby will be 7 Friday. He's growing up so fast going into 2nd grade. He is such an amazing kid just full of energy and totally fearless. I look at him and cant help but think Thank you God for knowing what I needed because at the time I really didn't think I "needed" another baby. I know that sounds harsh so don't get me wrong I love my kids with everything in me. I hope tomorrow is a special day and this year brings lots of great things for him. I'm guessing since he hasn't lost many teeth it will be a year for lots of tooth fairy visits LOL

I know I haven't blogged much this summer but it's been super busy and I will blog with pics as soon as I get a chance.
