Sometimes you feel that you are a complete failure......and then you get a letter like the one I got a few days ago.

Photobucket

Needless to saw it brought a tear to my eye and made me realize that I am not that bad of a mom as I think. In all honestly though, I am not sure I can take the credit. Andre just, Truly, is a great Human being. He surprises me everyday with his compassion and love for others. He wears his heart on his sleeve and gives it freely. I love him so much and could not be any prouder. It is moments like these that I will cherish forever. Andre thanks for being a great example to me and to our family. You are awesome.

Here are some back to school pictures.

WOW the 3rd grade!! when did he get so big. Andre is loving school so far. He has two really great teachers.

Do you love the sneakers. I totally had a mom moment when he pointed these out to me. My mom use to tell me. She could pick out the ugliest thing in the store and I would love it. Well mom, I guess we have come full circle. I consider myself a hip Mom. I am in on fashion trends and rock some of them myself, but seriously, 1985 called they want there high tops back. What I have to ask is what's next.......And don't even ask to shave side steps in your hair.

Skate or die! Andre has turned into a skater I think? He tries really hard. Although, I am not that impressed with the language at the skate park. Might be the last time I take him there.

Andre just recently found a love for "long boarding". We were at a park and there were these really nice older kids that were long boarding and Andre was in ahhh. They were so nice to him and let him try one of theirs out. Ever since it was all he could talk about. We shop around and soon realized that they are not cheap. So we told Andre he had to save for one. He sold stuff in a yard sale. Helped Grandpa haul wood at the cabin. Finally, he had enough money. I am so proud of him for saving and purchasing the long board himself. I just realized I don't have any pictures of him with it. I guess I better take some. Maybe next year I actually get them on the blog.

Kendyl's Dance Recital

The cutest ballerina ever.
Photobucket
So Kendyl Dance recital was back in march. Yes I said MARCH! It is an understatement to say that I am totally behind on blogging. Here is my first attempt of catching up. I am feeling really guilty about the neglect. I really want this to be a journal and I have not really posted anything since Easter and before that it was hit and miss also. Wes has made a few post thanks dear, but really I am so behind. The nest little bit I plan to update they will be random and also very dated, but hopefully I will power through and get it done. Sorry kids if you are reading this in the future your mom has been a slacker, But we sure had fun in mean time.

Here is the "pre-show" Pictures.

This year I was able to take the Dace pictures for everyone again. It was a blast and even though the classes doubled, there for my work load doubled it was a blast taking them. Despite the fact I lost an entire days pictures and had to retake them. AHHH Thanks moms for being very understanding. That has never happened to me before so I guess I should be thankful that it was something that could be redone and not a Wedding or something.

Happy 10 years Baby!
It is our ten year Wedding anniversary today. Wow it really is hard to believe that it has been that long. Although I am a little less blond, we have two great kids, and a few wrinkles, It seems like yesterday that we started our life together. I thought by the time I was married this long I have it all figures out, marriage, life. I now know I don't know if I ever have it figured out everyday is a new with different challenges but with Wes by my side i say bring it on. We have had a great ride so far. Hope for many more years to come. I love you baby, More than Diet coke and that's a lot. Ha ha ha.

Easter
Photobucket
This year we had a great Easter, especially since the Tuesday before we got pounded by a snow storm that laid a foot of snow. We still had snow for Easter, but luckily our parents home town had been warm enough it melted.

Photobucket
This year I planted real grass in the kids Easter baskets. It was way cute and the kids loved watching it grow.


On Saturday, in between conference, we dyed eggs. A few of the neighborhood kids joined in the fun. Photobucket
I love my neighborhood.

Don't worry dad, I won't tell.


The Easter bunny brought the kids new flip flops, a movie, golf balls and fingernail poish. Can you believe it he didn't bring one thing of candy?!!!! However, Andre had the "talk" with us. "The I know who the bunny really is talk." I am so sad that time has come. Really though, how old are you when you stop believing that a big giant man size bunny hops to your house to leave treats for you. I mean come on it is not like he is a real man like Santa!
