The boys are off to school

Let me just start off by saying if you thought I was a horrible blogger before, I don't think being pregnant is going to help my cause. Why does pregnancy have to be so difficult---aren't we suppose to be having these babies!?! But things are starting to feel a bit better. Come March I'll feel like a million bucks. Alright enough venting, on to the good stuff.


My baby boy started Kindergarten. Yes he will forever be my baby boy and I'm sure to remind him of that. Now having your first go to Kindergarten is hard enough but when you live in a state where it's ALL DAY it's even worse. I've been gearing J and I up for all day Kindergarten for months. So far he is loving it and the most difficult part is getting him up in the mornings.
He looks way to big.Now Odee on the other hand is not happy about J (or daddy) going to school. She cries every day when he leaves or holds on to him and says "my jackson". It really is heartbreaking.

Last weekend was Tyler's white coat ceremony. This is where all the first year med students get their white coat. It was an exciting day and one we've been looking forward to. Now Ty has to go to school all day and as the weeks go by he'll be gone nights as well. We were very spoiled having daddy to ourselves for almost 3 months. It was awesome.

The biomed crew.

Ty's parents came in for the weekend. We love visitors and were very happy they came to celebrate this day with us. Thanks Smith's for taking care of us through the weekend.

So now Odee and I are left to entertain ourselves---
good thing she's pretty entertaining.

Booyeah!

Jackson became a man today. He took that step that will allow him to truly enjoy life, live life, impress girls, and get into heaven. We are what you might call the proudest parents around. It's kind of a big deal....if you like bikes that is. I kinda like bikes so I'm given him props. We've been practicing ever since we got back from Utah whenever the humidity didn't make it impossible for Jackson to hold onto the handle bars due to the gallons of sweat that were pouring from my head. Running behind a bike all hunched over holding onto the seat is hard enough without 100 degree weather and 100% humidity but I made the sacrifice. Yeah, I'm a pretty awesome dad. Anyways, so proud of the J-Man.



Olivia was in on the action and will soon be well on her way to riding her own 2 wheeler.



It was hot and the red faces and sweaty heads were earned the best way possible...under a bike helmet. Now let's just hope they don't become one of those weird dudes that ride unicycles.
