I can't believe I let the blog go. I feel horrible. I want my children to be able to look back and see all the great things we did or the funny things we said. I guess I'll do a recap by month and do a new post for each. Nothing too grand or exciting has happened (a few graduations) but I still want to share pictures. That's my plan for the next week ~ to do a monthly update each day and then start getting better about blogging. Someone, anyone, hold me accountable please! PLEASE!
We visited Sugarloaf Mountain today. I wasn't sure how the kids would handle hiking up that mountain but they did great. Really great. I carried Jay up most of the way (and the way down ~ which was pretty cool to hear a few rock climbers comment to one another "that mom is a rock star carrying her kid up"). It was really pretty when we got to the top and the kids loved the view. James stayed back some, like me; we don't do well with heights. Jacob, on the other hand, probably would have scaled back down if we had let him. He got dangerously close to the edge, scaring me half to death, along with some other hikers.
Jasmine and James had their musical concert tonight. James was singing with the 5th grade chorus and Jasmine played flute. They both did great and the concert was really nice. Ya know, as nice as an elementary school concert can be. ;-)
Jaylynn put on her backpack, Jazzi's shoes, grabbed my Target bags, Kmart rewards card, kissed me and said Good Day. I am guessing she has things to do and places to go.
Side note: She tells the kids every morning Good Day before they leave for school every day.
