Fun at the fair...

This evening we went to the fair with the boys and one of Connor's friends (Carter Reed). It was a nice evening. The boys had wrist bands to go on unlimited rides until 10 p.m. They had a lot of fun and the cutest thing was when Connor had to help his brother do some of the "bigger" rides. He took care of his brother and held his hand from ride to ride at the end. At first Connor and his friend didn't want to go on the school bus ride because they thought it was a kid ride. At the end Travis convinced them to go on it with Cody. After that, they went on the ride a bunch of times (too many to count).

Time Flies

Hard to believe it has almost been a year since I posted anything.  At that time I had good intentions of posting more regularly to capture things going on throughout the year.  Well, I am going to try again. We are getting close to another new school year.  Connor is a senior!  I am still trying to wrap my head around it.  The time has gone so fast.  We went to several open houses for friends of his that graduated this year.  It makes me sad even though I know it is a part of life.  Part of starting up this blog again is to help me put my feelings down as we go through the journey of life.  Cody is starting 8th grade.  One last year of middle school. Both boys make me so proud.  They both continue to play hockey.  Cody is still a goalie and does such a good job in a tough position.  Me, on the other hand...being a goalie mom is not easy.  Almost a year ago my grandma moved in with us.  I am blessed to stil...

Man to Man

Cody is in his last year of elementary school.  It is also that time of year when the 5th graders will learn about family life and human sexuality.  Oh boy.  I had to sign the permission slip yesterday for Cody to return indicating that we are of aware of the information that he will be learning about.  As parents, we are encouraged to have open communication with them regarding this if they happen to have any questions or concerns.  I asked Cody if he had anything he wanted to ask, and he quickly responded "No!"  I said, "that's okay, you can always talk to your dad about it too" to which he replied, "yes, man to man."  I said yes, like that.  He cracks me up!

First Day of School 2018

School started a week earlier this year which was a bit of a change.  We survived the first week and things went smoothly.  Of course as a  mom I always wants a first day of school picture.  Connor isn't especially thrilled to have his picture taken, but did pose for a quick one.  Of course his smile is a bit cheesy because he wasn't happy about the photo, but I guess I at least got one.  I am proud of my boys and am so blessed.  With the first week of school already came the reality of ordering a cap and gown for Connor's graduation.  I am going to enjoy every moment of this year.  Cody's birthday is coming in two days and he will be 14!  Again, how can this be??  They are turning into such nice young men.  That is my goal.  Raise them to be good people, to be kind, caring and have manners and of course who respect.  I think we are ready for the 2nd week of school.
