Flashback Friday

William at 6 months old. This is when he always smiled for the camera!

Brie's first day of 7th grade

Here are a couple shots of Briahnna all ready for her first day back to school. She is in 7th grade now and is so super excited to go back. She was sticking to me all day yesterday telling me how much she will miss me while in school even though she is glad to be there. Awww!! I love this kid!!

It's still dark when it's time to leave out in the mornings. I have to get adjusted to the early mornings all over again.

First day of high school!

Chardonnay started her first day of high school today and we are so thrilled for her. Dwayne and I attended a parent breakfast and got to meet some of the teachers, staff and the her Principal. We feel so confident that she will have an amazing high school career. I am glad that I am not sad at all. I am so overjoyed to watch all my kids grow up and will be excited to see what they become in their adult lives. After all, the goal is to watch them grow up and guide them in a positive direction to become productive citizens. I can barely wait to see her when she gets home today to tell me all the details of her day.

The girl was giddy with excitement! We had to make her calm down and take deep cleansing breaths on the way to school so she would not pass out over being so hyped up!

A quick post on friends

Friends are the ones that show you compassion and concern when the big stuff happens.

Friends tell you the things you don't want to hear.

Friends keep it real. No sugarcoating.

Friends lend a hand or a voice without having to be asked.

Friends make you laugh until you cry.

Friends become your family and show what family really is.

Friends give without looking to be rewarded.

Friends are forgiving.

I LOVE my friends :-)

I'm an outcast

Out of all the moms I know personally, online or in any other way I seem to be the ONLY one that formula fed my babies. I never one time had the urge to breastfeed. I have been looked down on for not breastfeeding. I just don't get it. Okay, that's it...just had to let that one out ;-)
