First day of school 2010

I can not believe I took my kids for their first day of school this morning.  Where did the summer go?  I'm one of the few moms that actually love having my kids at home.  Jessi started high school today and the boys are in 5th grade.  Pretty excited that they get to start school sponsored sports.  Jenni is in the third this year and is ready. 

Jenni's New Room

Jenni and I decided Monday she needed a new look for her room.  We bought the paint to which the Lowe's paint guy told her she was a very lucky girl to get to paint her room "that" color.  She was totally excited beyond words.  She sang "i'm painting my room today" the entire drive home.  I'll start with the after pictures and then show you the before.  She had told me all summer she was cleaning her room and it was almost done.  Ha!  It's done now though and I have threatened to shave her hair off if she lets it get messy again!!!

Jessi's Basketball Team goes undefeated!

Oh I am so proud of Jessi and her basketball team.  They won the Skeltur Junior High Tournament and went 15 and 0 for the season.

Jessi all "dolled up"

The other day Jessi came out to me and said "Mom, if I get all dolled up will you take my picture?"  Now the first adorable item in that sentence is "dolled up".  I didn't know people still used that saying.  The second is that she asked me to take her picture.  She fights me constantly about asking her to let me take her picture.  I got quite a few good ones.  These are just a few.

Unsure Knight!

I really love this picture.  Aren't his eyes cute?

A good laugh!

I thought this would be fun.  I really didn't have great baby pictures to work with but I took pictures in the waiting room of the grandparents with their arms out like they were holding babies.  Don't you just love all three of their expressions.  I probably could get better results by making their hands show around the babies but this was just for fun.  I hope someone got a small laugh at my attempt to bring the boys together without being together.
