Little Red Riding Hood

Ok, so today is the big day! Brylie had Fairy Tale/Nursery Rhyme Day. These kids were so stinking cute. At time I couldn't stop laughing at how cute they all were. They all went up on stage and were introduced by their characters name. They then sang a song and said a nursery rhyme as a class. Man there were some really cute costumes. I was so wondering what the little boys would dress up as and man those mama's were so creative. I must say I am sad I didn't get a picture of this one because this costume was the best by far. It was a little boy dressed up as Pinocchio. He was a puppet on a string. That mama worked way too hard on that costumes. Then at the end the Kindergarten teacher got up and sang a song they made up about nursery rhymes and fairy tales and did a little dance to go with it. What a cute Kindergarten memory we made today.

Lawson's 1st day @ LHS and Brylie's 1st take home reader!

Here are some pictures of my little man Law on his 1st day back to LHS. He was not in the mood to take pictures but I got a few okay ones. He is in Mrs. Sarah's class this year. I am very excited because we are good friends but a little nervous about my boy. He can be such a mess and get into so much trouble. He had a wonderful first day. Mrs. Sarah could tell me anything but wonderful things about how well he did and how much he has grown up this summer. It must be time since sister is now not there to tell him what to do.





















Here is a picture of a very happy little girl with her 1st take home reader and word ring. Yet another milestone we have come to this year.

I finally found out ...I might be a little crafty?

This summer I told my mother I needed to try to be crafty and make a few thing while at her house. I don't have a sewing machine so I have to use hers or my friend Sarah's or get my mother-in-law to sew together some creations. I still have a long way to go but it's sure has been tons of fun. Here are some of the things I have been creating with help from others. Thanks so much for your hard work on the peace sign Ashley and Sarah. I also want to say thanks to my mother-in-law she saved my life. She help me with Brylie's birthday outfit and the Red Riding Hood, hood. Brylie has fairy tale day at school on Friday and I found at Kid to Kid a very cute skirt that just said Red Riding Hood to me. It didn't come with a hood so I was going to have to make something? That was going to be NOT fun trying to make this hood. So thanks again my wonderful mother-in-law for giving up your Saturday to help me with all my many projects. Have to wait till Friday for the Red Riding Hood pictures.

Knoxon Wayne Procter

This Saturday the kids and I loaded up the car and went down to visit my brother and his family. We got to meet our new little cousin Knoxon. He is so sweet! It was a great visit but too short. Darran my brother will have to be leaving out this Wednesday to go back to Afghanistan. Please keep him in your prayers and his little family.

1st Day of School

Ok,ok, I am only a few days behind in posting this one. I have just been a mess these last few days. I have had a very hard time letting go. This is so crazy to me because it not like she has been home this whole time with me. Brylie has been to school but this was so different. I mean I went back to work when she was 6 weeks old and she been in Mother's Day out since she was 11 months. The sad thing is that I was so ready this summer and I knew she was so ready and would love school.

When we went to meet the teacher my world went crashing down. I did not get a good first impression of her teacher. Her room was very bare and boring for a kindergarten room. There were no centers and no bright visuals and nothing really on the walls. It was not very inviting and it made me so sad. We then met the teacher and she was nice but you could tell very strict. I was sad that this would be my child's first experience of school and thought she might not love school anymore.

So far Brylie has loved going to school and meeting new friends, which still don't have names except for two little girls. Well, their names are Riley so that was easy for her to remember. Things she most about school so far: that she has a nurse at her school and that she gets to eat in the cafeteria. She loves that she gets to go to paint class (ART) and stretch and grow (P.E.) and she loves her music class. So far she has got green for her behavior everyday and a positive note on her first day. Needless to say God has surrounded her with all she needs and is taking care of my little girl. So I guess I need to stop worrying and start thanking God for what he has done for me. Yet, another hard life lesson for me to learn. When will I be too old to learn?

Up on the Caprock and through the cow smell to Gawga's house we went

The kids & I just got back this Saturday from my Mom and Dad's. We were there for a week in a half. We had so much fun! I helped my mother clean out her closets. Not sure if she really wanted too but she was pleased after wards. She loves to keep everything. Brylie loved all the fun dress up clothes we found in the closets. She played dress up in all my old dresses from Prom and other banquets from High school. She loved my mother's wedding dress. My mother cut it off for me to play in when I was little and now Brylie is enjoying playing in it.












While we were at my parents we went to the Cheese Burger Festable. I just love small town activities. The food was so yummy and the kids played and got their faces painted. They had tons of great booths with cute jewlery and shirts. Brylie and I did a little shopping.
















My brother Wade and his family came down while we were at Mom and Dad's house. Brylie talked my mom into having a Cousin's Birthday. We don't live that close so our kids don't get to share their birthday's with each other. My mom let them decorate cupcakes and she made a cake and homemade icecream. Then the kids got gifts like foam swords and silly string and tons of books. These books we found in her closets while we were cleaning them out. She got these books for the kids at different times for the kids Christmas or Birthday and then forgot about them. They had tons of fun playing with the swords and silly string. We are still loving our new books and read one everyday. Oh the memories we made that week. Thanks again Mom
and Dad for all the great fun!
