Getting better

Last week was the first week of school and all the boys did fine except one, Kyle. He was determined everyday not to go to school. One day he decided after I made his lunch for school, he took it upon his self to take everything out and put up his lunch box. So I had to make his lunch all over again. Friday his daddy was going to take the boys to school and of course he cried because he wanted his mommy to take him to school. But all is well this week, I think he is finally getting the point that he has to go to school.

Peyton is doing great. He likes his teacher. No problems so far.

Last night we received a call from David's Geography teacher. The first thing I thought was OH NO what has he done just the 1st week of school. But she was calling to praise him. She stated that she was grading papers and David was the only one that got the questions correct. I am so proud of him. I don't know where he got the brains from, but I am sure glad he has some. I told him he will go far, so not to let anyone or anything take that away from him. This is, I think, the hardest part of growing up. He is at that age where everything is intimidating.

I hope that the next time I blog it will be about the boys and there football.

The End of Summer

No, it is not the actual end of summer, but it is for us. The boys start school tomorrow. Yes, all the boys will be in school this year. Kyle is not looking forward to it. He has had a hard time with it. Any time we mention school, he breaks down and cries. He is getting a wonderful teacher so I am very excited.
Kyle- I know that this is a hard time for you, but you are growing up. You need this space from us to learn how to be dependent. I wish you could be with me because I am sad that my baby is getting big. I will be alone this year without you. This is a learning experience for the both of us. You know that I will be there to eat with you and go on your field trips with you. YOU ARE MY BABY!! I LOVE YOU!

Peyton is excited to start 2nd grade. He says he is happy with the teacher he got, so that makes me more relaxed. I think Peyton doesn't realize that with getting older more work will be expected from him. He is the type that wants to give you just what you want and nothing more. But when it comes to his sports, he will give you 110% and more. I have been trying to tell him that to be someone big in life he will have to give it his all in everything he does.
Peyton- I know you are shy and still have some issues with some habits that you have, but I have the confidence that you will overcome this and be someone special in life. I am also always going to be there for you when you need me. I LOVE YOU!!!

David is glad to be in the 7th grade because he gets to do the sports with the school now. He is starting his teenage years and is in a in between stage for him. I know that he will be ok in school and what lies before him.
David- I know you think you are always getting into trouble, but this is a new time for you and me. You are growing up, but not ready to make your own decisions. You think that you are always right and never do wrong. I am here trying to show you the way to be, it doesn't always work. We will get through this and learn to meet halfway at things you do. I know you will grow up to be a fine young man. I LOVE YOU!!!

We had a nice vacation this past week. We went to Branson, and did the go carts, putt putt golf. We also saw a show. The best part of the trip was the Landing. That was a really nice area, we saw a water and fire show. Here is a few pictures of it:

I know I know

I am sorry it has been a few weeks, well almost a month since I have shared anything. Well it has been pretty busy with getting everything needed to get ready for school. But one thing I did get to do is Play BINGO. Bonnie and I got to go enjoy some girl time together even though we didn't win we had fun. I think this will become a regular thing for us.

We are getting ready to go to Branson tomorrow so I will have pictures and hopefully good stories from that trip with my family. I am so excited to see Peyton it is not even funny. You know how you love to see you kids go for a night or two just to have you time. Well I think 10 days for me is to LONG. I miss him terribly. I love you PEYTON. See you tomorrow.

There is one thing that is kinda bugging me. That is my son Peyton signed up for football and was drafted on a team. He was very excited because he had a friend of his on the team. Well today the coach's wife called and stated they will be redrafting everyone due to they can make another team. You would think that the ones in charge would have already determined how many teams they could form. We have already had a practice and was told what to get. So now we just have to wait and see again who calls us. I know my son will be upset because he wanted to stay on the team he had. I just needed to get that off my chest and for first time players of the parents, they are not setting a good example of how the season will go.
