Today is Garrett and Ellerie's first day back to school. Ellerie is 7 and starting 2nd grade. Garrett is 10 and starting 5th grade. Ellerie was so anxious to get started that she keep asking me all weekend how many more hours she had until Monday. Garrett on the other hand wan't excited at all. He always gets really nervous at the beginning of a new year. I dropped them both off at school today and while Ellerie was skipping along and thrilled to be there Garrett turned around to wave bye and he was biting his lip (a common occurance when he's nervous). It was sort of sad but I know once he gets to know his new teacher, he'll love it. Kaden doesn't start for another week and Porter starts preschool until September 6th. We'll post Kaden and Porter later!
Oh my gosh! They both look SO grown up!! Garrett especially looks so much older to me... and he's so handsome!! It is nerve racking to start a new school... I hope it goes well!
You know, on my computer, the main background color still comes up as that "Bandwidth" thing... both parts of the header come up fine and the sides of the background also come up fine. (By the way, it looks really cute.) Are you sure you pasted in the main background color in the html the right way? I would go back and try that again... that's wierd that it shows up for you but not for Amy or I! Good luck!
- We had just left my mom's house. We had been there visiting with Jana and her kids and Mom and Ross. We drove off and Porter says "Mom, I don't like when we go to parties with our family and then we have to leave...it makes my tummy hurt real bad!" --Oh my sweet boy, that is called "homesick" Porters first real experience of homesickness for family!
-We had just heard Bon Jovi's song "Make A Memory"...the D.J. said, "That was Bon Jovi.... Porter pipes up from the back and says "That was Bon Jovi Mom? That is my favorite guy! Mom, you should've bought me a Bon Jovi costume for Halloween!"
-Shortly after church he was telling us about how great his new CTR ring was and how he can CTR now because he has a ring...the story went on and on...then he turns to me and in all seriousness says "and my teacher told me my stories are too long!" I had to laugh because I was thinking that same thing!
-During church Porter leans into me after watching a the baby sitting in front of us and says "Mom, I wish I could go back to being a tiny baby so you could name me Bruce Wayne"....
-Porter questioning me about how I could "stack" (his word) all our kids in my stomach to have babies then simple resolves his own question by saying "Oh, I know, we were in heaven first and then Heavenly "Faver" used the force and put us in your tummy cuz he has the force just like Yoda and Jedi's."
-He recently asked me "Mom, when can I get married" I said well first you have to turn 19 and be a missionary and then when you finish that you can come back home and start looking for your wife. He chuckled and then said "well, who will I marry?" I said, we don't know right now it will be someone you fall in love with. He giggles and then says "So you felled in love with our dad?"
-I was up at the pulpit in sacrament bearing my testimony tearfully and Porter leans over to Brittney and says "Hey look, my mom feels the Holy Ghost!"
