Today there was this...

"I gotta go my own way."

My heart hurts but I'm so proud of all of them!

Coincidence of something more....

"I've gotta go my own way. I've gotta move on" Peyton was belting that song out all morning. I thought she made it up herself but she explained it was from High School Musical 2. As if this morning wasn't hard enough, then the little stinker starts singing a song like she's 19 and going off to college or something!
Luckily, Callie and Cole were a little easier. They were so excited and did get. I hope their day goes as smooth as this morning!

Kady

My neice Kady had her wisdom teeth taken out the other day. Poor Kady needs some hugs! She is a sweetheart who has the biggest heart for anything with fur or even feathers! I love this gorgeous girl!

To clarify...

This picture is one of the reasons I'm queeeeezy! Not because I'm sick or pregnant (ummm three's a perfect number for this Mommy). Just because I don't like the end of summer. I don't like when the kids go back to school and the thought of this little one being gone ALL DAY at ALL DAY kindergarten is enough to make me toss my cookies. And the big kids are going to MIDDLE SCHOOL! OUCH! And so it goes... Change is good, right? LOL :D Parenting is bittersweet. I LOVE that the kids are getting bigger and experiencing so many things and learning and growing but gosh it's also so sad. They are not my babies anymore! I'm off to enjoy the last few days of summer and tonight we are going to FRIENDLY's to celebrate! :D ....keep smiling Robyn....keep smiling....don't let 'em see ya sweat!

Cole

so blogger is finally letting me post pics again. I don't know what's up with that! Feeling a bit quezzzy in my stomach this week. I hate the end of summer! The only highlight is back to school shopping...I love doing that! LOL

Nothing more ominous than kindergarten

sorry about my last post, I actually had a super cute pic of Peyton and her new Bean backpack but for some reason blogger won't let me post it. Sorry to scare Y'ALL!

ARGHHHH!

Give me the strength to handle this...

I'm totally BUSCHED!

The kids and I and my friend Lisa and her kid's went to Busch Gardens/Water Country for 4 days and now we're back and I'm tired. One of those "I need a vacation 'cause of my vacation" feelings! Matt didn't get to go because he started a new job on Monday! Great opportunity for him and he will do SUCH a good job. So proud of him!

Believe it or not, I didn't take a lot of pics there. It was kind of stressful with the camera and I wish I would have just taken my little point and shoot! Anyway here's a few...

This owl was simply GORGEOUS! Cole and I could have stayed there with her and her keeper all day. When she looked at you, you felt her presence completely! Such a cool animal!

Cole outside of some theater that had such pretty doors!

Peyton wanted her picture taken with the star of a show we saw. His name was "Aaron O'Sullivan" and he was nowhere to be found after the show. So she was more than happy to take here picture with Mr. Charlie
the security/usher guy! LOL

Callie infront of another really cool blue door! Didn't get any of the "normal" vacation pictures and didn't get to many altogether!

Find your joy

Just a funky-fun 6 x 12. This is my last piece of the pink Hambly transparency...:( SO SAD, I love that stuff! I also love these cool silver rubon wings designed by Mrs. Kristina Contes herself...cool stuff!

About finding your joy...Cole has ALWAYS always always been into cars. Matt bought himself and Cole a Jeep Wrangler as a "toy" since Callie insisted he sell the motorcycle. This morning Matt walked into the garage to find Cole sitting in the Jeep reading the owners manual! LOL
