Hannah's 1st day of school

So Hannah had a great day at school. She loves it. Which made it so much easier for me to leave her there. She all ready has best friends. When she got in the car I asked her how was your first day of school and she goes it was the best day of my life and she can't wait to go back tomorrow. Yesterday they had P.E. and she said they had to run to get there heart rate up. lol. She's been so easy to wake up in the mornings too. I thought it would be hard but she pops right up and goes eats her cereal. Here are some pictures of her first day.

School

I can't believe my baby is starting Kindergarten!!!! She'll start in less than 2 weeks next Thursday we have open house. I just can't believe how fast time went. I know she'll do great she picks up on stuff so fast. She is so excited too. She's ready to make new friends. When I ask her if she's ready for school she says yes and she's going to play on the playground, eat lunch and take a nap. LOL. Apparently that's all she thinks she'll have to do. I'm hoping she gets a good teacher who is actually there because she/he wants to be there for the kids not just a paycheck. Makes a difference.

Austin is going to be starting 3 year pre-k in about 3 weeks. I'm so ready for him to go. haha. He is seriously ALL boy. He's really into figuring out how things work and trying to fix stuff. Which means he's banging on our house.

Noah is getting to big to fast. He's pulling up and cruising. He's around 20 pounds now and he's wearing 12-18 months stuff. That boy LOVES to eat and he'll eat anything and everything. He's such a good baby. So different than Austin which I'm so thankful he wasn't like Austin. I'd go crazy I'm sure. I am excited about getting 3 days out of the week where it will be just me and Noah. I'm working on getting him on the schedule where he takes his longer naps in the morning and a short one in the afternoon since the kids will be getting out of school will mess up the nap.

New Recipe

I made these last night and they were a big hit. Well except for Austin but Austin only eats a few things. They are called Fun Taco Cups my friend Amanda told me about them and she found them on kraftfoods.com

1 lb. ground beef

1 pkg. (1-1/4 oz.) TACO BELL® HOME ORIGINALS® Taco Seasoning Mix

1 can (10 oz.) refrigerated buttermilk biscuits

1/2 cup KRAFT Shredded Cheddar Cheese

HEAT oven to 400°F. Cook meat with seasoning mix as directed on package.

PRESS biscuits onto bottoms and up sides of 10 muffin cups; fill with meat mixture.

BAKE 15 min. Sprinkle with cheese; bake 2 to 3 min. or until melted.

What's going on the next couple of weeks

Duran is going to be off for 2 weeks. I'm excited hopefully I'll be able to get some cleaning and organizing done and also we will be able to do some family things. Today we went to the mall I got 2 new shirts and a few things for the kids and then after lunch I went to the grocery store and got a lot of washing done. YAY!!! Tomorrow we are going over to his cousin's house and see his horses. Hannah wants to ride one but we'll see what she actually thinks when we get there. I can't forget my camera. Thursday we are going to watch the fireworks on base. Hannah is super excited as she says. I'm hoping Noah does okay through them. I'm sure we'll end up somewhere for the 4th. My grandpa wants to do something with the whole family.

Next week will be busy too. I need to get ready to start back teaching. Then on the 9th I'm going to court well probate court. My aunt and uncle are taking my dad there basically b/c they think my grandma had money. So there is no way I'm missing this. I'm so ready for that whole thing to be over with and we don't have to hear from them or see them again.

I'll be posting pictures I'm sure as the days goes by.

Noah crawling and my feelings on Jon & Kate

I'm not judging Jon and Kate I have no right to do so but I think its time to turn off the camera's its been time for them to that for a long time. They are going to take a break till August 3rd and then they start back with new episodes. I don't think they can live how they are living without having the show and with them not having any other jobs. They are supposed to do 40 shows in Season 5 and so far they've had 6 I believe.

The tabloids are making it out as Jon is the bad guy yeah I don't think so. Yes he's making poor and stupid choices but Kate has treated him like crap and Kate isn't making great choices either. I think they should have shut off the cameras and tried to work on there marriage in private. That would have been wise since they have the kids interest at heart so they say.

When the show first started it was good I actually liked to watch it but as the show has grown in popularity it became more about Jon & Kate and less about the kids and it came about going on a bunch of free trips and getting a lot of stuff for free. Now if I had 8 kids (which I have a feeling I would go crazy with 8) and someone offered me a tv gig do I think I would take it yeah I'm sure that helped them out with buying diapers and everything you need for 8 babies and its a hard thing to turn down. Would I have stayed on tv for as long no and I can honestly say this. I believe the kids need there privacy and the family. Could you imagine being those kids and having to go to school and all the other kids knowing what is going on in your family. That has to be so hard for them.

Do I feel sorry for Jon & Kate or am I sad they are going through this no I'm not. They made there choices and they saw what was going on between them. Do I feel sorry or sad for the kids YES. My heart goes out to the kids they are going to have to deal with this for years and years. Hopefully they'll have a peaceful and nice divorce for the kids sake but I'm doubting it.

On a happier note. lol. Noah is crawling and he's starting to pull up too. Where's has my baby gone. Here's a video of him crawling.

VBS pictures a videos.

We had a great time at VBS very exhausting but lots of fun. We had about 50 kids every night which is great for our church. Hannah loved it and she wanted to keep going after it was over. I'm ready to get back into our normal routine!!

We have also started our Down by the Creek Bank practices!! We had 11 kids last night. Hopefully we'll continue to get more kids during the summer.
