Long Time No Type


Look how big I am!




Sasha was very patient with Brady. She had to endure this daily while we had her.





I'm finally five!




Hi!



So, since there is so much stuff that has happened since the last time I wrote on this thing, I thought I might sum up the events of the past few months in a short list:
First off, I tried to change my background, and not only did it not work, but it erased all of the bloggers I had on here.
We moved.
We got a dog.
We got rid of a dog.
I got a job working from home.
Jayden is crawling.
Nick went back to his old job.
My sister came from South Carolina to visit us recently.
Brady is in summer school, however, today is his last day.
We might get to go to Nauvoo in a couple of weeks (and I will get to see MORGAN!!!).
Brady turned 5.
I turned 27....ugh.

Now for the summer school story... Summer school started for Brady on June 4th, and he turned 5 on June 5th. We have been on the fence on whether or not to send him to kindergarten this year, or wait one more year, so we thought summer school would be a good way to test it out to see if he is ready. Apparently not, as I got a call from the principal last week saying, "Brady is just having a hard time at lunchtime with being appropriate. Today, he was spitting...well, not spitting, but making a noise with his tongue and pretending to pass gas, and he was doing it in the other kids' faces..." That’s my boy. We sure teach him well! LOL. I think I finally felt what my mom probably had to feel several times raising six obnoxious children. I just wanted to yell, "I swear we don’t let him do that at home!!! That's not what we taught him." Hopefully, she understands that. I thought it was funny overall because it falls in line with his personality to a T. I don't know where he gets it... So, needless to say, that incident, plus all the times that he has come home and mentioned that he had to sit out for recess because of something he did, has proven to me that he may need one more year to mature before he's ready for kindergarten. That’s all the time I have to write right now, but I thought I'd leave some pics for anyone who is interested!

He is soooo cute. I love his mischevious ways! I love that kid! I waited to send Spencer to kindergarten until he was 6 and I think it's been for the best. He does complain that he's the oldest one in his class - I don't think that's true-- but he is more mature and makes really good grades. Also, he's not the smallest. Good decision. Miss u!
