Time flies!

Well we made it through the first week of school!  I can't believe how quickly it went by.  It seems so strange how fast the time goes when you have kids.  I remember when I was younger the days seemed longer and the years went by slower.  These days it seems as if each day is over with the blink of an eye! I'm afraid if I blink (because the moment that I do) my babies will be graduating high school and embarking on a life of their own.  After the first week of school, Bryden already seems so much older!  It sounds crazy, I know.  Every day after school last week he was begging me to let him bring lunch money to school to buy lunch in the cafeteria.  For whatever reason it makes me a little sad and hesitant.  He told me that "everyone was buying their lunch."  Seriously?!?!  He is already starting the "everybody's doing it"?  Whew..I have a long road ahead of me.  He seems to be loving life right now though.  He says his favorite subject is recess because "he loves to play outside."  I think Aeson is a little jealous.  As far as Aeson is concerned, kindergarten is all about coloring, food, and playing outside.  He doesn't understand why he has to miss out on all these great times!  No need for him to rush though!  Luckily my baby has an October birthday so I am completely grateful that I have three more years to spend with him before he reaches the kindergarten milestone.  Of course in 3 years I will be sitting here again saying "where does the time go?!"  Until that time comes, I hope I can soak it all in and enjoy the little moments together.  To change the subject, I am super excited because Alex got a new camera and I am starting to become border line obsessed!  We took the kids out after breakfast this morning and went around town to take some awesome pics.  I will never need to pay for professional pics again!  We better clear up some wall space is all I know! 

First entry/First Day of Kindergarten

So here we go...I decided to jump on the blog bandwagon.  Hopefully I can pull it all together and make it look "fun" but for now it is what it is.  At least I started it!

Today was the first day of kindergarten for my first born, Bryden, and it really got me thinking about things.  There are so many memories that I want to remember about life with my kids and it is mostly the little things that are unfortunately easy to forget..for instance the fact that Aeson calls fingers "skingers".  This is why I decided to do a blog.  This is my way of keeping a journal  to remember "the little things".  Of course my first entry is definitely not something little!  It is a huge milestone in Bryden's life.  Today I watched him go into "big" school and is letting someone else take him in to teach him many things that will become valuable to him.  His teacher is Mrs. Lacey and she is new to Celina Elementary but I have faith that she will be great and will make his kindergarten year a memorable one. Bryden is so excited about his teacher and being in school.  Walking him down the hallway this morning was very surreal to me.  He wasn't nervous at all.  I, on the otherhand, was a nervous wreck and wanted to run into the nearest bathroom for fear of throwing up.  My brave little boy wasn't phased a bit by the hallways and large number of kids scrambling to find their classroom.  I'm not sure how he felt so much at ease..he obviously didn't get that trait from me.  After we dropped him off in his class and took pictures we said our goodbyes.  I didn't even make it out of the school before I started getting teary.  Alex had come with us to share this moment and I am pretty sure he thinks I am a little crazy for being so sad.  But I know I am not the only mother that broke down today.  Although I felt a little sad this morning (ok for the past month) I am finally starting to truly get excited for him and his journey.  I absolutely loved going to school as a child and my best memories come from that time in my life.  I can't wait to see what the future holds for him.
