Ready to get back to learning and working hard and see his friends. He is such a joy and I will miss him during the day sure love this kid!!! {He is so cute he said he wanted to go to the old house so we could get a picture by the fence where we've always gotten one every year since he started school so we went before school started and took a few...he's right I miss it too! plus its tradition!}

the important things in LIFE are.. and I hope each of us do too....

Wish I could say I wrote the following too but I didn't....

The Important Things in Life

Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there, to serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson, or to help you figure out who you are or who you want to become.

You never know who these people may be - a roommate, a neighbor, a professor, a friend, a loved one, son or daughter, or even a complete stranger - but when you lock eyes with them, you know at that very moment they will affect your life in some profound way.

Sometimes things happen to you that may seem horrible, painful, and unfair at first, but in reflection you find that without overcoming those obstacles you would have never realized your potential, strength, willpower or heart. Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness, and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul. Without these small tests, whatever they may be, life would be like a smoothly paved straight flat road to nowhere.

It would be safe and comfortable, but dull and utterly pointless.

The people you meet who affect your life, and the success and downfalls you experience, help to create who you are and who you become. Even the bad experiences can be learned from. In fact, they are sometimes the most important ones.

If someone loves you, give love back to them in whatever way you can, not only because they love you, but because in a way, they are teaching you to love and how to open your heart and eyes to things. If someone hurts you, betrays you, or breaks your heart, forgive them, for they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious to whom you open your heart.

Make every day count. Appreciate every moment and take from those moments everything that you possibly can for you may never be able to experience it again.

Talk to people that you have never talked to before, and listen to what they have to say.

Allow yourself to be happy because you have every right to. Remind yourself always that you are the blessed Child of God, and believe in yourself because unless you believe in yourself, it will be hard for others to believe in you.

You can make anything you wish of your life. Create your own life and then go out and live it with absolutely no regrets. And if you love someone tell them, for you never know what tomorrow may have in store.

Learn a lesson in life each day that you live!
Today is the tomorrow
you were worried about yesterday.
Think About it? Was it worth it?

I was excited that I get to stay in summer mode with not kids going back to school. But now I am kinda craving some kind of schedule. Maybe after one more camping trip for the long weekend I can try to come up with some kind of crazy schedule while living at my moms house. It may involve escaping for a break to your house to let M and R play while your other 2 are at school.

New traditions are waiting to be made ; ) It's hard to start new traditions in a new place when you're use to the old.

Great me thinks. Loved it! You are truly an inspiration to me.
