Parker's first day at MDO

Yesterday was Parker's first day of Mother's Day Out. He did so well. We only had to go for an hour just to let him get used to his class but he just loved it. His cousin Bryce is in the same class also so we are hoping that they will take care of each other and not stay in trouble together. That was a big relief because I was really worried that he wasn't going to like it. You see he has been going to church nursery since he was 6 weeks old and the child has cried every single time he went. It is just in the last few weeks that he goes without a fight. Praise the Lord for that. Nothing is worse than hearing them cry for you.

Looking forward to a great year at MDO:)

Fun Friday Night

We took the kids to Gattiland on friday night. They had so much fun! We have been trying to reward good behavior at school so we thought this would be the perfect way! This place is AMAZING! The kids just had the best time ever. They have indoor go-carts, bowling, put put golf and it's a huge arcade. And did I mention that it's Gatti's pizza??? AWESOME!

It was safe to say that a good time was had by all:))

Excited Mom

So the first week of school was..Well....Rather stressful! Yep, I think that is a perfect term for it!

It was a struggle to wake the kids up. It was a struggle to keep Parker asleep at 6am while getting the kids ready. It was a struggle to do homework.


IT WAS A STRUGGLE!

Praise the Lord for new days and weeks though right?!?!?!


It has been a great second week and the kids are moving right along. We had wonderful grades from the first weeks tests!
Baylee and Braden each got 4 A's and each 1 B.

Now I know all of my hard work paid off with them!

So proud of these two:))

Reading....

Can I say I am so proud of my BIG girl. This girl can read. And I don't mean little first grade words. Words like "suggested." To me that is hard for a 2nd grader. Not for my girl tho. They threw out some bonus spelling words this week to see if any kids would get them right- you know she got them all right.



The 5 words were picnic, plastic, rabbit, fabric, and napkin.


I mean seriously this girl has some MAD spelling/reading skills.


Love her to death. I am so happy that she started the year off so great and is loving her teacher so much. That girl is going to change lives one day. I believe in her.


Now for my big boy Braden. My big 1st grader. He is doing very well also. We are working very hard on writing and practicing all of our sight words with him. He loves the one-on-one with me during homework time. He is totally his daddy. He is reading his timed sheet very well and has read his first story well. His first ever spelling test is tomorrow and I know he is going to do GREAT! I am so proud of these two kiddos.

As for Parker-He will start MDO on September 6th. I am so confused on that. I know time goes by so fast and I don't want to miss a moment but at the same time I want him to have some socialization with other kids also and he is just so bored at home alone all day with me. It will be interesting for sure and I said I was going to give it one month and if it doesn't work out then he will stay at home with me.

Happy Wednesday to all:)))

Welcome to 1st and 2nd grade kiddos!

I can hardly believe that I have a 1st and 2nd grader on my hands. Whew! They have both done very well the first 3 days of school. Conduct grades have been great and they are starting the year off very well. They are growing so fast I just want to turn back time so many days! But there are some days that I can't wait for them to be older. Moments like this make you realize just how fast life is going. I thank you Lord for trusting me with 2 of your children.

Baylee and Braden, we love you so much and are so very proud of you. We believe in everything that you do. We love you with all our hearts. Enjoy this year because it will pass so quickly.

BE GOOD, TRY HARD, AND LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE!!
