SCHOOL!! AAUUGGGHHH!!!!

So I have told a few of you, but it is really happening.
I AM GOING TO SCHOOL!!
I know I really thought I would not go back to school. Everyone I know that has returned to school, I think I could never do that. I hated high school, so why would I think I could make college work? Well after a lot of thinking and discussing with my husband. I realized what I thought I would really be happy doing. Is becoming a Elementary School Teacher. I have been volunteering at my kids school on a weekly basis. Even though I think it will be challenging at times, I know I would love it. I love to see when a child is making progress and you know its because of you. I love the getting to know each kid and them knowing you. I think I would do very well. But the down fall is going to school. I could do a quickie alternative way of getting a teaching cert. But I think it would be in my best interest to do it the long and correct way. So there is no reason I will not succeed. So as of right now I am a full time student at SLCC. When I get all my general education (plus I can take some of my teaching classes there) completed, I will be transferring to the U of U to finish my BA in Childhood Education. I plan on hitting it hard and hopefully finishing in 4 years if not sooner. Holy Hell just typing that makes my hands shake!!!
Everyone tells me it goes fast, but I start on Monday and I don't handle the unknown very well. As soon as I get started I think I will do OK. It's the getting started part that is driving me crazy. The first year I am taking a lot of online classes (since I still have Conner at home half of the day) and then the following year will be better. I will have all day!!
So wish me luck!
And if you see me and I look a little frazzled you will know why!!

Something You Never Want To Happen!!!

So I love you husband but I had to do it. Our youngest son has had a loose tooth for a while and Daddy asked him, "Do you want me to help you get it out? So the tooth fairy will come." Youngest son said "Yes!" So I was on the phone outside. My son came out and said I kinda have my first lost tooth. I said excitedly, Let me see!!! What I saw I Gasped!!!!

Holy S*%t!!! Is right.

Daddy had used pliers due to he could not get a good grip with with his fingers. When he got the pliers on and squeezed to get a hold on it. It shattered!!!! Of course mom freaked out!!!! Called the dentist at 9:00 pm. The dentist said not to worry that it will eventually fall out. We just have to watch and make sure it doesn't become abscessed. What a great experience for a kid to loose his first tooth!! I guess he will never forget it.

I think Daddy will never pull another sons tooth again!!! LOL!!!

GIRLS DAY OUT!!!

Saturday morning Shelly invited us girls to come pay 9 holes out at Talon Cove for FREE!!! Who could pass that up. Even in the poring rain. Well it didn't rain on the drive out, but as soon as we got out of the car to get ready. It started to poor!!!!! Everyone was laughing saying there's nothing like playing free golf in the rain. Well thank goodness is cleared up after the first hole and turned out to be a beautiful day. We had a lot of fun even if some of us (ME!!) played like crap!!!! Thanks Shelly for inviting me, I had a lot of fun.






Kim did Awesome so don't let this picture fool you.
We were on a tee box that was pretty much a lake. When she went to hit her ball her club hit the mud and instead of the ball flying. It went about an inch into the ground. I was just lucky enough to get a picture of this one. We had a pretty good laugh!!!

This picture doesn't do it justice, but her ball is under ground!! LOL!!!


Teri this goes to show you that I love you because if you noticed I did not put the picture I took of you on the toilet. But I still have it so I can use it for leverage!!! LOL!!

BAD ASS!!!

So on Wednesdays I volunteer for Coltins class. When I went into the office the office lady says. So Coltin ended up needing stitches. I said yes! She said well I heard Coltin was so brave. I started to laugh and I said what do you mean. She said well Coltin came in and said "Yeah I had to get stitches and it was LAME!! IT DIDN'T EVEN HURT!!!!!" I told her the real story and we had a good laugh!! He went back to school and told everyone it was no big deal. LOL!!!!
I WOULD HAVE TO SAY IT WAS A HUGE DEAL!!!!

STITCHES!!!

So Tuesday I got the dreaded phone call from the elementary school saying "Coltin got hurt and you need to come get him. I think he needs STITCHES!!" When I got to the school, Coltin was in the office (not crying). When we got in the car I said I think you need stitches.
ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE!!!!
He started crying and saying I DO NOT WANT STITCHES!!!
So we compromised and said we would have the doctor look and see if it was needed. When we got to the doctors he cleaned it out and put some ointment on it with a bandage and said come back in about 45 minutes! Then whispered to me that he would need stitches! I told Coltin that the doctor put some medicine on it so that when we come back he could get a better look at it. We went and got some ice cream, ran home, then came back to the doctors. Coltin was awesome until the doctor came in and undid the wrapped instruments to do the stitches. Coltin said what is that for? They put a drape over Coltins face and He started to SCREAM!!! (If any of you know Coltin well enough, you know how loud he is normally. Try when he is scared to death. I think he cleared the building!!!) It took 2 doctors, 2 nurses, and Curtis to hold him down. Meanwhile Coltin is screaming "GET OFF OF ME!!!, I CAN'T BREATH!!!!, I DON'T WANT STITCHES!!!" What am I doing you say. I am holding Conner who is freaking out because he thinks we are killing Coltin. Conner is crying with his fingers in his ears and saying to me. "MOM JUST LET HIM BREATH PLEASE!!" After the first two stitches were in the doctor is saying to Coltin calm down we already go the first 2 in and it is not even hurting. Coltin started to calm down after that. Then the doctor finished up and Curtis asked him. So was that the worse set of stitches you ever has to do. The doctor replied with, he is pretty close to the top. Afterwords I went to Coltin to say see you are ok. He had sweat drizzling down his face!!! WOW!!!
Here are some pictures!!

Coltin with the numbing cream on. Going to Coldstone to get ice cream.

Waiting for the doctor!!

After he calmed down a little, only Curtis is holding him right now.

All done 2 inside stitches, and 5 outside stitches!!!
So I forgot to tell you how this happened. I said Coltin how did this happen? He said I Fainted!! I said What?! He said a friend of mine was bugging me so I though if I pretended to faint he would leave me alone. So I closed my eyes and fell. I just happened to fall onto something. (a puzzle shelf). Curtis told him he needs to come up with a cooler story, that one is lame!!!!
After the doctor it was time for Karate. So off to karate we go!!! While I had my camera I though I would take some pictures.

Coltin fighting with his bow staff. If and when he followed directions he does soo good. Better than most kids in the class. Half the time he is being yelled at because he does what he wants when he wants. I know hard to believe!!!!


The "BROWN" Family Reunion!

My dads moms (Browns) family reunion is always held on the 2nd weekend of August. We normally camp Fri-Sun and sometimes some extra days during the week. Last year kind of scared us off. It always rains at least one of the days you are camping. Last year was monsoon rains. We invited our friends Gordon and Teri last year with there nice new trailer. We tried to pull into the campsite got stuck and ended up camping right in the middle of the dirt road. We still had a good time, but I really didn't want to get up there this year and it be the same. So we decided to only go up for the day on Saturday. So we got up at the crack of dawn, drove the 2 hrs it takes to get there. Arrived just in time for the nice hot breakfast they just cooked. Then the games and fun began!!!

So all the kids got together for a sack race. As I walked Coltin and Conner over to the starting line. I said "Here is some advice COLTIN "don't try to go so fast that you end up making Conner fall. WORK TOGETHER!!!!" Lets see if Coltin listened!

NOPE!!!!
Here is the start where Coltin took off without even caring and Conner tumbling to the ground. Then Coltin getting mad cause Conner fell.
Story of my life!!!
Do you think they will ever listen to the parents advice?

After the race was all over.
They decided to try it again and they actually went for a little while!
Maybe they can work together. Sometimes!!

Then the kids had a tug-a-war. Boys against girls!!!
What I didn't get a picture of is there was "3" boys and like "8" girls!!!
They started out so well then the girls smoked them.
This is the girls dragging the boys across camp.
At least they wouldn't give up!!!

This is Conner just chilling out watching everyone play!!

We played a game where you had to get a team of like 7-8 people and you had to stay in a chain, then get the hoolahoop through your whole team without breaking your chain. It was fun but it was funnier watching all the kids and adults try to hoolahoop. Coltin was soo good. I was surprised! He could walk and do things while he was still hoolahooping! LOL!!

Conner it took a little longer but he finally got it a little!!!

We have a horseshoe tournament every year. You don't get to pick your partner. The last 2 years I have been partnered with 2 really good horseshoe players and have won!!! This year I wasn't so lucky. I love you Aunt Pam, but you are not a good horseshoe player. Pam and I had to play Curtis and Margie (which Margie claimed she wasn't good, but got 2 ringers!) We lost our first game 1-21 :( I know its a crying shame!!!!
Curtis thought he was going all the way. Then lost the next game!!!

Random pictures I thought were cute!!!

My cousin Kali's little boy Jaxton. Who is sooo dang cute! Wished we got to see them more but they got there after playing a all night softball tournament. So they were all sleeping and then we went home!! We will have to plan something to get together Kali!!!

The kids playing by the outhouse!! LOL!!

KINDERGARTEN!!!

It is official I have no more kids at home:(
Today was Conner's first day at Kindergarten. Him and his little buddy Kolton got on the bus this morning for the first time.



Here is a lot of trouble!!!!
Lil Kolton, Max, and Conner (all neighbors) in the same class!
I feel so sorry for their teacher.

My big boy getting off the bus!
(By the way, when he came home I asked him what was his favorite part of Kindergarten? He said "Riding the Bus!!!" LOL!!!

I cried when Coltin went off to Kindergarten. I thought I would do the same with Conner. He got on the bus and I was doing fine. Didn't cry, then I followed him to school. Off he goes into his classroom. Didn't cry, then I came home to my empty house. That was soo quiet it felt really weird. I called Curtis and had a good cry!!! My youngest son is getting sooo Big!
