Wo-hoo!  We are SO excited!

Here’s Emily and Hannah on their first day.  

Emily is in 3rd grade this year and Hannah is in 2nd.  

I can’t believe it!

It seems like only yesterday that I was sending Emily off to Kindergarten.

My mind is having a hard time grasping the fact that she’s in 3rd grade now.

And if it was only yesterday that I sent Emily off to Kindergarten,

when did Hannah go?  And why is she in 2nd grade now?!

Then, to top it all off, Robby starts Kindergarten next week!

AHHHH!

YAY!

(I can’t decide which to think ;) )

You know, I think I age a whole year in this week, too!

It’s amazing to compare pictures, and sad, too.

My kids are growing up.

Emily is already EIGHT!

I can’t believe it!

She gets to be baptized in three weeks.

Cute little Robby.  Has it been 5 yrs already?  Where is all the time going?  

He’s been so excited for his birthday today… asking everyday, “How many days till my birthday?”

Daddy got him a practice drum, which is fairly quiet.

And, he got his favorite…. an “Army Guy Flashlight”!

Oh, cute Robby!  I sure love him!

7 years ago today, my sweet Hannah was born.

She was the best surprise ever!

I love her SO much!

I finally finished this project… and finally found time to post it!  Yay!
I am so excited to be able to use them!  Only 7 more weeks!
(Hopefully earlier!)  ;)

Last night, it started raining and thundering… LOVE it! 

I love hearing the rain on our metal roof.

(The boys were a little scared, though, because of the thunder.  Ivon made it better.  He told them the clouds were farting.  They sure got a kick out of that!) 

At 5 o’ clock this morning, it was just POURING rain.

By 7 o’ clock… this is what we had…

And, I can’t complain really…
at least our basement isn’t flooded.  Of course, water is seeping in.

But, it’s really amazing.

We just fixed a weak spot on the foundation on the west side of our home.

Had we not, the 3.6 earthquake just a few days ago,

coupled with all the water leaking through the original portion of cement,

possibly would have made the weak portion cave in.

Yes, it could be a LOT worse!
