FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL

Well, today was Claudia's first day of kindergarten!! It was so exciting! She has been waiting forever to be able to go and today was the big day! I think I was way more excited about it then she was. :)

Here Claudia is modeling her clothes the day before!

Cutie

Cute booty jewels!

Claudia just loves her new clothes!

Tried to get her to show the cute pants and belt with this.

More cute clothes and another cute girl in the pic!

Very cute and sassy model!

Loving the skinny pants!

A big thank you goes out to both Grandmas for the ability to have these clothes!

About to leave the house!

Calm and collected before we left. :P

Here she is before the school. I think at this point she is nervous.

Waiting with daddy to get to her class.

Walking...my heart is pumping because I do not know how she is going to act when we leave.

There is her classroom with her inside.

And we leave. Our sweet big smart girl is here at kindergarten at last! She was very nervous once we got to the school, but calmed down and did really well. I loved that Arthur gave her a father's blessing the night before. I know that made her feel great. :) I only hope that she will be challenged enough. Our girl is doing so well with reading and writing and all the things. This kindergarten only lasts half a day which is not what we wanted. We love how in Texas they go for the full day. We can only see what the teacher will do with her. Sadly, on the district website it said "To address the concern of children who need above and beyond the curriculum, try going to these websites and have fun." I was like....are you kidding me? What is the point of going to these websites if she still will not be challenged in her own classroom? But, like I said, we will see what the teacher has in mind for students that need that extra challenge.

That is all for now!!!

TEXAN POTATOES OUT!!!

Too long!!!

Hello everybody!! My goodness time goes by so fast! I cannot believe that we are already in August!!! Really now you think I would get better at this, but you know I hate to say it, but it will not be getting any better anytime soon. Oh! And MY birthday is coming up!! I get to be 24!!! my favorite number!!! Jeff Gordon baby!!!

Here are some of the things that have been going on:
Arthur and I finished the spring semester at BYUI!!! Yay!!! Arthur got extremely great grades and I got grades that I am happy with. :) We are having a break with the summer and not going for seven weeks. School will start again in September though! and yes, both of us are going!!

Claudia's birthday was July 17th and she turned 5!!! She is getting soooo big!!! And yes, she will be starting school this september!! It is so much fun getting her school things ready! I think Arthur and I are more excited than her! lol

Arthur's birthday was July 21st! He turned 25! We had a lovely suprise party for him which was great!!! I love him and am so glad that he felt appreciated!

Yes, I know this isn't an invitation to our suprise party, but it was cute!!



Our friends the Wylers moved back to Texas for four months. It was sad to see them go, but it does make me happy knowing that they will be back!! We really truly have been blessed to make awesome friends!

On another note.......... I AM EXPECTING!!!!!! :)
We are due on February 25th. and yes.....you do not need to ask......We are hoping for a boy!!

Billie came up and visited us this past week! It was so much and we were so glad that we did not all get sick last the previous times!!!

Summer, sadly, got another ear infection. She was miserable so I took her to the doctor and I am so glad that I did. He said her eardrum was close to bursting!!! It is wednesday and luckily she is feeling better.

On another nother note....Claudia is reading everything I am typing. She really is smart and so advanced for her age. We shall see how school goes. Hopefully, she is challenged enough.

This is how Arthur's classes go for next semester: organic chemistry, advanced writing, biology, doctrine and covenants, and family foundations.

I will be taking chemistry II, anatomy and physiology II, and microbiology. We shall see how all this goes. Luckily, I will be done with this semester before I am even due which will be great. Arthur is now on fast grad so we are hoping to be back in Texas next December!!!

Things at times are tough, but we make it! We are so blessed by our Heavenly Father! I really do  not know what else to say!

Oh! Arthur got called to be the second counselor in the Elder's Quorum. yay!! It is wonderful to be able to hear him helping people and get his ideas across because I know so many will be blessed by his service!

We finally had neighbors come in beside us....and it is not very fun. :( I introduced myself to the man one day and he was a blank wall. Barely uttered 3 words........and then in church he purposely interrupted me while I was talking to a new couple.....I do not like it, but we will not be living here forever right?

All in all that is what has been going on!! I am soooo sure there is more,but I will just have to remember it then!!! We miss everyone soo much and send our love down to Texas!! But we are doing great up here and do have wonderful friends looking out for us! Heavenly Father knew exactly where we needed to be at this time in our lives and I am lovinig it! :)
