End July/Aug

Well now that I have more time on my hands. I guess I should post something.

Gavin started school the end of July. 1st Grade, Yea! He leaves for school at 7:30 and I pick him up at 3:20. A total of 8 hours, which is so great for him and me! Brody has been a little board with him gone, but he starts school Aug 13th.

 Paris had an accident over at Grandma's house. This is before with her beautiful hair.

 This is after, Brody cut her hair. And I did cry.

 This is the Sunday after when I tried to do a comb over to hide the bald spot. It looks great if she would leave her hair alone.

 A day she thought she would look pretty with blue crayon on her face as make up.

 I had my birthday. It was fun that Grammy and Grandad were up to celebrate with us.

 Grammy and Grandad gave Gavin his present early while they were here.

 Don't tell dad!! Getting the air mattress up for when Grammy and Grandad came. The kids had a great time jumping off Paris bed and dresser.

 Today Brody went to Preschool. He came home happy and with lots of fun stories to tell. Paris did great and entertaining herself while both her brothers were gone.

 My week now consists of Gavin at school all day. Brody at school 3 days a week for 3 hours. Paris home with me. I am starting to go to the temple once a week with friends. I put together a temple group with friends that talked about wanting to go. We take turns watching the 4 kids while we go to the temple. Brody gets to play with his best friend Benji and Paris gets to play with Lyndon who is her age. I have to soak in this great year. Because next year will be crazy with 3 kids in 2 different schools at 3 different times. I will be constant running next year. But for now it is perfect. Oh my other friend Laura has had me come to her house to exercise with her every morning for the last few weeks, but she is leaving me for 2 months. I will need to be good and keep doing it without her getting me there every day. It is easier with someone expecting you to be there.
