1st day of school

Today my twins went to their 1st day of Middle School, and my baby into the 3rd grade. I think everything went well. They were all excited and happy this morning. I was super bummed I did not get to drop Jazzy off in her class and get a picture of her and the teacher. But pretty excited that the boys asked me to help them get situated at their lockers, and even gave me a hug good bye. Cause I know next year they will only want me to drop them off at the curb. Than, I joined all my lady friends for breakfast like we have been doing since the twins started 1st grade. We usually use this time, to encourage each other or to just get thru the 1st day of school blues. Although I was the only one who got teary eyed today. 7th grade is just a big deal to me. And I know my boys were really nervous about having a locker and having 7 teachers, and athletics. Just wish I could be there, hiding in the hallways, lurking thru the doors, just in case they need me. lol I know that once I talk to them tonight and they tell me how great the day was, I will feel much better. But still they all are growing way to fast. I had to bargain with Jasmine about doing her hair. She is just ready to do it all on her own. But, its like if I can hold on to that part just a little longer, than I know I still have my baby who needs me. Pretty sad huh?

Been on facebook, and reading some status's. Lots of moms dealing with sending their kiddo off to college. And Lordy, I am not looking forward to that. Ciera did not do the college thing, but when she moved out the 1st time, it was pretty tough on us. But, she came back a month later, and now is gone again. But the 2nd time was not as bad, and she seems to be doing ok. When I think of the boys and Jazzy leaving the house, I get this sick feeling in my gut. Cause I sure don't know what I will do with myself. Hopefully by than, Trav will be home at night with me. I see how fast time is going by, and know it will come alot faster than I want. But what can a mom do? Just got to raise them and love them, and lots of praying, and I know they will make me proud.

Us momma's just got to hang in there, and continue to be cheerleaders for the kiddos! Cause that is just what we are supposed to do...

Vacation 2009

Hello Everyone..I know it has been a long time. It seems when we got back from Vacation, life was in full swing again. But, I am back now. And will say Vacation was great! It was different with out Ciera joining us, she was missed. But I will admit it was kind of peaceful, cause the boys were like best friends the entire time. And that does not usually happen, cause they usually are both fighting for her attention. But hopefully, she will join us again for vacation. So we did Market Square, the River Walk, Fiesta TX. Lots of walking, the boat ride, and lots and lots of amazing mexican food! We even took a friend for Jasmine, so that Trav and I could have some time together. So it was a great 30th birthday gift for me, and some much needed family time away from good ole Boyd. But let me tell ya, I had the most humiliating moment of my life at Fiesta Tx! The girls and I had just gotten out of the lazy river and were walking down some steps, and I some how lost my footing, and there I go, it was like slow motion. My feet went up in the air, my legs spread wide open, and my butt hit and bounced 1,2,3 times down the steps before I could stop myself. A group of guys behind me were like "OH My Gosh! Are you ok?" That is when I refused to make eye contact, I took off my flip flops which had blown out on my way down, and I got up and grabbed the girls and walked away..LOL And yes, I woke up with bruises and my back a little sore! Between that and the mild sun burn on my back, I was pretty miserable on the trip back home. The kids had a great time, even though I think their favorite part is the hotel! The boys and Trav rode the roller coasters, and than the twins and Alissa rode something called the "Goliath" and yes it is huge. Jazzy was excited to find out she was too short to get on it, so we took her pic of her pretending she was on. lol And I was too big of a chicken to ride it. The kids went back for a 2nd ride and were 3 people away from getting back on, when the roller coaster broke, WITH PEOPLE ON IT! So, I call that Favor that the kiddos were not on. We left San Antonio with lots of laughs, lots of funny stories and some good ole memories. And looking forward to something new next year.
