School!

  My little boy is growing up!
  Last week Taevin started kindergarten. Back to school night was on Tuesday so I went a little early to help clean up and volunteer for the first few hours, and after directing people and trying to answer questions for other parents for two hours, Russ showed up with Taevin and it was my turn to be the nervous mommy with lots of questions.
  We went to the kindergarten room first and met the teachers and were very impressed, next we were off to pay the bus fee and figure out the lunch situation, and after a few pictures I was much more at ease and ready to get Taevin home and into bed so he'd be nice and rested for school in the morning.
  I was up by 5am at the request of my hungry baby so I got ready and got Taevin up at six. He put on his cute uniform and his brand new school shoes that we had laid out the night before and headed down for breakfast.
  I had wanted to drop him off on the first day to take pictures but he insisted on taking the bus, he was however kind enough to allow me to meet him at the school. He was on the bus before seven and I had a chance to chat with the bus driver, he looked so small on that big old bus!
  I met him at the school, and like any first time kindergarten mom, followed him around with the camera, if he were any older, he probably would've been embarrassed. In his classroom the teacher was playing the guitar and singing songs with the kids which put everyone at ease. The other teacher read a book and then it was time for the parents to go, a few more pictures and I was off, and I didn't even cry!
  I picked him up from the bus stop that afternoon and was happy to hear that all went well. He loves his school and I'm happy about the one we chose, it seems all of our hard work to get him in will pay off. It's going to be a great year!

Surprise!

  Sometimes life throws you a curve ball, and it usually happens just when you think you've got things figured out.    Way back when I was praying about having a third child, the number 4 kept coming to me. I laughed and told God that He would need to send twins to get Russ to agree to that number, so part of me was a little apprehensive going into our first ultrasound with Z, but alas there was only one of her so I kind of forgot about the number and moved forward... until that day when the number came back.  Zoey wasn't even a year yet and the feeling came, there was one more. Russ did not feel the same but I used every bit of convincing power within myself, and after many arguments and discussions, he buckled. He gave me 3 months to get pregnant, if it didn't happen he would get his vasectomy. I gladly took what he was willing to give and trusted that God would send this baby that He had promised within the conditions Russ had reluctantly agr...

Gains and losses

    2024 was a lot. Truthfully, I’m not even sure where to start, but it has been a whirlwind.   I suppose it would be best to start with my gains, most importantly I gained a daughter-in-law! In my last post, I mentioned Hayley, The love of Taevin‘s life. They spent the first year of Taevin‘s college experience in Cedar city together, But as their relationship progressed, and there was talk of marriage, they decided to come home and make those future plans a priority. It was fun having Taevin home from college, for the first month or two he was so full of gratitude for the luxuries of home, I guess being on your own for a while makes you realize how good you have it when mom is around. Anyway, they came home at the end of April and Taevin started planning his proposal. Russ and I took him to a local jeweler who was fantastic! Instead of just creating one ring, he made three just for Taevin! He wanted to make sure everything was perfect and that Hayley was getting exactly...

A weight lifted

       Being a mom can be hard, it feels heavy a lot of the time, and so often I feel like my kids success depends fully on me. They’re older now, I don’t have to chase them around and meet their every need, it certainly isn’t as physically demanding as it used to be, but the mental load can be hard to carry alone.       There are so many emotions that come with older kids, you worry about everything. Do they have good friends? Have I taught them how to function in the world without me? Do they have a testimony? I’m pretty sure dads don’t lie awake at night worrying about these things, but moms do. And the weird part is that the older they get, the more they need the influence of their dads, good friends and other trusted adults. I know my kids love me, but it seems like I am becoming less influential in their lives, and that can be a hard pill to swallow, s o I’m always especially grateful when someone steps in and does something that I can’t....
