1st Day of School

Today Cameron and Melanie went back to school.  4th and 2nd grade.  They are growing up so much!  They were really excited to start up again!  Melanie told me to wake her up at 6:30 and Cameron said he wanted to be woken up at 7.  Cameron didn’t make it that long.  He was in our bed when I woke up at 6 and already dressed by the time I got out of the shower.  Excited?  I think so.  He also woke up Jason.  I woke Melanie up at the requested time and Alyssa and Jenna also woke up.  I think I will have some tired children tonight.  8 o’clock has been the normal summer time wake up for the girls!

Instead of a back to school night, they did a back to school morning.  So we went inside the school and met the teacher and  saw where they sat.  I thought it was a great idea but after doing it prefer the night when they know the classroom and teacher.  The kids were nervous and unsure of everything and it was just a little awkward.

I am extremely happy with the teachers each of the kids have got this year.  I have heard excellent things from all of them.  It should be a great year!

Melanie found her desk with her name.  Her 2nd grade teacher is Mrs. Mascarow.  She already kind of knows her because she was and still is next door to her first grade class last year.  She also got bangs for 2nd grade.

Cameron has Mrs. LeCheminant for 4th grade.  He knows a lot of the kids in his class this year.  It helps to stay on the same track!  As I was talking to the teacher she said she was excited that the class was small this year.  She said there were 23 students and normally it’s been around 30!  I am glad to hear that too!  30 students is a lot!!  They got to choose where they sat for the first day.

How close have you been to a Prophet?

David, and two other guys he works with, were invited to the Jazz game last Friday night. I have come to find out as a construction wife, to get business, you gotta play A LOT ! Here is a short list, not limited to, of what I mean by "play": Golfing (about 3 times a week-depending on the week and in warm weather of course) Snow skiing (about 2 times a week, again this depends on the week and when there's snow) Fancy dinners (this can also be counted as lunch, which happens more than I know I'm sure!) Executive Retreats (this will be happening in February for about 5 days in AZ, which will have all 5 days full of golfing, guaranteed!!) Jazz games (again, when in season) I don't know about you, but I think I'm in the wrong career!! This house wife things just does not include ANY of those benefits!! Anyway, on with the story at the Jazz game... These weren't just ordinary tickets. Where do executives and people in high places sit? Oh yeah, ...

Our New Family Pictures

I have been on the hunt for a really good photographer for a long time here and there.  And I think I found one that did everything I wanted.  First, she comes and looks at the feel of your home.  For us I just sent pictures of our living room where I wanted the pictures placed.  Then she suggests colors to wear and sent pictures back with our room and picture placements she puts on the walls.  And with 5 kids, especially Jenna, you really have to photo shop A LOT!!  Almost every photo with Jenna she had to photo shop.  She did amazing!!  I was so nervous when we went over and viewed our pictures at her house.  As David put it after our photo shoot “She has to be a magician to get anything good out of that!  That was a disaster!”  After looking at our proofs I said, “well, you are a magician!”  And David said after leaving and climbing in our car to go home “That was worth every penny.”  Success! I do have a few faces to...

Melanie’s Calling in Life

Image
Two Days ago Melanie was getting ready to go out the door.  She had her coat and was looking for her other jacket.  I asked her why she needed it when she already had her coat on.  She said she was going to take it to her friend at school, Humana, because she wears 3 jackets and doesn’t have a coat.  5 minutes later Melanie asked me “Mom, can we buy Humana a coat?”  I had already been thinking about that but told Melanie I would look while I was out to see if I could find one.  I went to 3 different stores to look!  Winter coats in that size are hard to find these days!  But I finally found something at Walmart and got gloves and a hat.  My friend, Angela, who drove carpool that morning called me while I was out looking.  She called worried because Melanie had said on the way to school that her friend didn’t have a coat and was sleeping on the floor.  I told her I knew about the coat and was getting one but Melanie hadn’t mentioned ...
