TEARS TEARS and MORE TEARS

Yep, that describes my morning.


Caleb had his 5th grade graduation and most of it was boring UNTIL the kids all sang a song about leaving Chisholm and going to middle school to the tune of fireflies and then I lost it. It was more than just eyes watering. I was trying to hold it together so I wouldn't embarrass Caden, Cali and Chris. However there were moments when I was on the verge of the ugly cry.

He just turned 11 yesterday and now he choses not to be in elementary school anymore. I am going to be a complete mess come August.

Somehow overnight he turned from this adorable 17 month old baby

to this smart, funny and very independent kid. I am afraid that the next 7 years will go by even faster and I will be REALLY sobbing when he gradutes from HS.

SWAGGER WAGON

This is hilarious!!

Caden loses her 2nd tooth

Caden loses her 2nd tooth. It had been loose for a few weeks now and was given the final push when she just got accidently elbowed in the mouth on the trampoline.

SAD SAD DAY

I just cut 8 inches off Caden's hair and I am SO SAD!!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE her long curly hair but it gets tangled VERY easily. I was going to cut it off for the summer, but I decided to do it tonight. On the plus side I think it makes her look younger. She likes it and of course it will grow back, but I am very sad!!

Caden loses her FIRST TOOTH

It has been loose for over a month now. She pulled it out last night at bedtime and of course her wimpy mom had to cry!

It is so tiny you can barely see it.

She is very excited to show her teacher at school today and get her name on the tooth chart!
