Exciting!

If there were no schools to take the children away from home part of the time, the insane asylums would be filled with mothers. ~Edgar W. Howe



Taylor with Mr. Cuda. Ironically my first "man" teacher was in 4th grade as well.
He (Mr. Rinaldo) was my favorite teacher in elementary school.


Jared was a little embarrased as you can see,
but this is his teacher Mrs. Browning. She has
a rep for being one of the best teachers in 1st grade!


Wow! This is the second post in one day. Tonight the kids had what they call "Howdy Night" at school. It is where they post the teachers and you get to go in and meet them. I had to express how excited I was when I learned that my kids got both teachers that I requested for school this year. We have had our ups and downs in the past but I am thrilled to learn that they both got AWESOME teachers for school. Another big bonus for Taylor is that Mackenzi ended up in her class this year. I just hope she listens and doesn't get M into trouble! She tends to be more of a chatty cathy like me, whereas Mackenzi obeys the rules. The funny part is before going up to meet their teacher (they had no idea they would be in the same class) they picked out the same outfit. These little girls crack me up! Hopefully it will be a good successful year. I know that Jared is very happy with the teacher he got as well.

After uploading this, I was a bit freaked out how old my daughter looks! I don't know if it is because her hair was down, but man I have a little teenager on my hands! Aren't these girls just goofy?? They did look pretty cute though. Do you remember trying to wear the same things as your friends?



Ummm.......... what's in the mail box today? When I got home..............

"Here's the mail it never fails, it makes me want to wag my tail and then I give a big fat yell..........M--A--I--L!!" Cheesy I know but you gotta love Blues Clues. I received this thoughtful belated birthday gift in the mail from Amy h. Thanks so much Amy--I love the note pads. They both are decorated so cute!! You girls out in Utah are so crafty. We don't have that many fun stores with embellishments like that! I also got a thankyou card from my sister. I love getting her cards because she always loads the envelope with stickers. Fun- fun mail for me!!
