Graduation

It's amazing the way you feel when you start GRADUATING in life. When you have your first kid you think, "Man this will never, ever, ever,ever end" then slowly but surely not only is there light at the end of the tunnel, but you're at the end of the tunnel.

It's amazing that during this never ending battle of cheerios on the floor your precious children are growing slowly and graduating to a more joyous and helpful human being!

You know what else is amazing, during all of these ups and downs Jake and I have had child after child and we too have aged and graduated in many things we were child like in, and now the ever so amazing man in my life is graduating tomorrow in life....no he's not dead....but he's on his way. Jake turns 30!!!!

I'm so grateful for all the wonderful experiences in our life we have had. So thankful we were so young 7 years ago when we met and just as young when we married each other 6 years ago. We have truly molded together and finished growing up in a lot of ways together. Here's to Eternity Jake! Can't wait to learn more and more with you, maybe in 30 more years you'll look 40!?!

So Happy Birthday Jake and enjoy being KING of the Castle tomorrow!

Seriously

Because everyone who knows me thinks Music leader! Yep that's my new calling. I lead the music in Relief Society now. CRAZY! I know no nothing about music other than I can power Jam in my car, rockin' out to Justin Timberlake or lip sync my way through heaven with Boyz 2 Men.

Needless to say, today was a disaster. I have no clue what I am doing up there and everyone is staring at you and all I could think was yep that is spit up on my left shoulder and yep that's yogurt my lovely baby smeared on my skirt and yep you are right I didn't re-paint my toes before church today. The list goes on.

But I will continue to go to church.This will not deter me from my activity on Sunday's. EEK

On another note. The first week of school went great. Morgan loves his teacher as do I and Eva is finally warming up to the idea that Morgan does indeed get to leave the house everyday and that he does have fun without her.

I have so far survived my early risings, but am so exhausted by one. Speaking of one, I get up so early now that when one rolls around I think time is or should be closer to five and that bed time is just around the corner. It's not I remind myself that I have 5 more hours with the kids until Jake is home from work, then dinner then scriptures then prayer then BED!

Hopefully I survive this week. We will now be adding Preschool and Ballet this week to the mix of early morning drama. Hopefully it goes off without a hitch. All I keep thinking about is how there is no school tomorrow. No three kids down three flights of stairs and in to the van and then two kids back up the stairs. But starting Tuesday the routine will look something like this.  

730 Leave the house with 3 kids and down 3 flights of stairs home in ten minutes with 2 kids and back up we go. in an hour leave with 2 kids down the stairs and come back in 5 minutes with one kid. Hang out for an hour and a half and leave with 1 kid to get another kid, hang out for 15 minutes and pick up the 3rd kid and home we go.

It's tiring just thinking about it. Morgan however has been doing fantastic and is still so excited about school. Thus far his only complaint is that the 2 hours and 45 minutes at school are just to darn long. But I did manage to explain that church is 15 minutes longer than that and you don't get to play on the play ground half way through. He's decided that school is way cooler!
