10 years ago today, our little family got it's official start. I can't believe we are celebrating our 10th Anniversary. Some days it feels like we have been together for as long as I can remember (I am sure Roger feels this way), other days it feels like the last 10 years haven't even happened. Time is such a funny thing. I just looked through our wedding pictures. We looked so young. We had no idea what we were in for and how great our lives would be together. It is probably a good thing we didn't know or we would have gotten married even faster than we did. Now we are sending our oldest to kindergarten and expecting our third. Crazy! I can't imagine a better guy to go through the last 10 (actually 13) years with. He is still my best friend. I can't imagine life without him to keep me going. He makes me so happy, just by being who he is. We compliment each other so well - we are the definition of 'opposites attract'. Love you, babe! Here's to the next 10 years.

Jaelyn starts her first day of kindergarten today. A lot of Moms are shedding tears at this point, but she is so excited that I couldn't possibly be sad. She has been ready to go to kindergarten for over a year. She is absolutely going to love it. I just hope kindergarten is ready for Jaelyn.
Mackay makes his preschool debut in 2 weeks. I know the preschool isn't ready for Mackay, but ready or not - he's coming!
We have had a fun summer that has flown by. Since I spent the summer being pregnant, I have really appreciated the quick, and relatively mild (temp) summer we have had.
We made it to the pool -once- yes, I have got to be mother of the year. The Brigham pool was really fun though, we can't wait to go again next year.
We also had fun boating, camping, hiking and being with our families.
Jaelyn kept busy with swim and dance lessons. She will start soccer next week and Mackay will try out kickball. Bring on the Fall full of activities - 2 kids in school, 2 sports and a new baby.
Summer did make us all really tired. The kids loved 'camping' during nap time in the cool basement. This is how I found them one day.
We have lost a couple of things this summer including a job, a freezer full of meat and a DVR, but we haven't lost our minds (which is a little surprising). We are making a new start and I know that we are both excited for what the next 10 years will bring.
Here is Jae on the first day of school. She took a stow-a-way to school with her.
This is the second day of school, but the first day riding the bus. There are about 30 kids at our bus stop and Jaelyn was the only one screaming and jumping up and down when she saw the bus coming. It was also black and white day.
There goes my girl -----------with her friends Caydee and Ella. Most of the kindergarten moms at the bus stop had teary eyes and I was just smiling and chuckling because of Jaelyn's excitement. Only 20 more years of putting kids on the bus every day. That is so crazy to think about. Roger and I have sure enjoyed life without the school commitment. Oh well, 'life marches on'.
