Can it be true?

Hannah is studying for her permit test. Is this possible that she is old enough to drive???
Hannah was also elected Secretary for Student Council next year, she ran unopposed so no great suspense on waiting for the results. Megan is rethinking her decision to attend NAU and may be attending a junior College so that she can have a dual major.

Day 1 Week in the Life

Day 1 complete. Used 2 pages for pictures, 1 page for photo collage and 1 page of baseball card holder for papers from the day. Not really happy with the journal page; but will leave it and do a different format for the rest of the week.

A Week in my Life

I am following along with Ali Edwards doing a week in my life project. Want to join me?

Megan

So am I a bad parent that when Megan text me this morning that she was made Student of the Month, I asked her for what?

Prom weekend

They say that it takes a village to raise a child but I think it takes a super supportive family to get one through prom! Thanks to Nancy and Kevin we had tables and chairs for 35, Thanks to Karen and Dain for loaning their house to 35 teenagers and their photo carrying parents and thanks to Mike and Hannah for help with clean up and set up. It was a great night and I think the kids had a great time and we are in the home stretch of Megan's senior year.

Motherhood Confessions

On Bits and Pieces a blog I enjoy; she posted her motherhood confessions and encouraged her readers to do the same.
So here goes:
1. I never think of myself as a mother and am kind of surprised that I have kids
2. I would love to have had a boy but secretly glad that I have only girls.
3. I still have baby weight even though my "baby" is 15
4. My greatest fear is that something will happen to the girls, it never leaves my mind and I try and not let it change what I let them do.
5. I am always amazed that they have turned out to be good kids.
6.I am so thankful that they have cousins and Aunts, Uncles and Grandparents that love them, takes some pressure off of me,
7. Sometimes I enjoy being alone and stay out of the house when they are needy.
8. I hope they stay close to me when they are adults.
9. I am not as disciplined as I sould be with them, I am the "nice" one in the house.
10. It is important to me that my kids friends like me and feel comfortable at the house even though I complain about the house always being dirty.
11. I am sad that Megan is going away to college in the Fall but I am also proud of her for being able to leave home.
12. I wish that we would have had more kids but I have been tired for 17 years and do not know how we could have managed more.
13. I am jealous that they have their whole lives ahead of them but would not want to be a teenager again for any amount of money
14. I hope they are happy and I have taught them the skills that they will need in life; but don't think that I have.

Easter

Picture taking on Easter Sunday, the girls wanted to make sure that they got to have new pictures with the babies. We tried to get a good picture with all of the cousins, kinda of tricky to get everyone to smile and look at the camera. Of course Andrew was easily distracted, Nick was behind me trying to make Mia laugh. I cracked up at Hannah and her antics behind Megan and Mike. I was laughing so hard that it was actually tough to focus the camera.
