Both kids in school! what will I do?

This last week both of my kids started school. That's right I have three hours to myself! I was worried that I wouldn't know what to do with myself and that I would find myself bored and going crazy. Luckly I have been very busy and three hours somedays isn't enough.

Rebekah is in 1st grade this year at a new school, Sage Hill elementary. She is loving school espeacially lunch and rescue but is not sure that she likes being at school all day.

Buddy started Kindergarten at Sage Hill also. I asked him after the first day of school how it was and he replied," boring". I have a feeling this year for Buddy is going to be a long one but cross my fingers for the best.

Sorry No Pics.

So I don't have any pics..well because this is Amber writing a blog post for Brittney :-) Anyways I just wanted to say how awesome she is because she has been eating really really good and has recently picked up running. When I was in utah last I ran her very first whole mile with her and she was so excited and it made me remember how excited I was the first time I did that.

We have a goal that if she can build up to 3.2 miles (WHICH SHE WILL :-) I will come run the freedom run 5 k with her next year.

Lastly the greatest thing of all, she is DOWN 25 LBS!!!! Boo ya that is awesome.

I might come up to Utah in September for a triathlon and BYU game and if so I think she definitely deserves some shopping!

I always knew insurance companies were the devil.

So today my doorbell rings and I open it to see a gentlemen holding this basket of cookies..he then proceeded to ask if I was Brittney Rowe. The cookies were sent from our insurance company. Seriously are you kidding me? This is the meanest trick ever, I think they deliberately waited until I was going strong on the diet and then had to throw this curveball in my face. Brandon gave up already and sneaked a cookie but I am going to try and stay strong...oh stupid temptations!

The Sooner the Better!

Buddy and Bekah's Graduations

Time goes by so fast. I couldn't believe it when Bekah and Buddy were handing me invitation to there graduations. It seemed like just yesterday that I had to drag Buddy to pre-school and thought he would never make it the whole year. Then there is Bekah that all she knew was her sounds and was entering kindergarten not know her ABC after two years of pre-school. They definitely learn when they want to.

Bekah and Buddy both did a great job at there graduation. Bekah sang her little heart out and has not stop singing since. Buddy just can't wait tell he can ride the bus to school with his sister and I am already having a hard time think that my baby will be in kindergarten next year. Three hours to my-self, what will I do.

OUCH!

Poor Rebekah closed her finger in the car door the other day. When she closed the door the car was still running so the door locked immedialty. So Rebekah's poor finger was stuck in the door tell I could put the car in park, undo my seat belt and unlock the door and run around to the other side to open the door. It felt like it took forever to rescue her poor finger. This is the same finger that was closed in the slidding door when she was three.

Winter, Winter go away!

Rebekah thinks Winter's been great but is ready for Summer NOW!
