School is almost here...argh!!!

Where did the summer go??? I feel like we just got out of school and now we are getting ready to go back. My kids register for school on the 30th of July...can you believe we only have around 2 weeks left of playing and having fun before we are back to the routine and the horror of "getting up early"..lol (me and Emmy Klair are not morning people..to say the least!) I am sad about this summer ending more so because this year my baby is starting kindergarten!!! I know she is ready and she is so excited to start but I on the other hand am dreading it and want her home with me. When Tyler started he was so bored and ready to be at school and I was soo excited about him starting..sure I cried the first week and missed him something terrible but I knew he was going to be ok. With Emily Klair I have so much I am worried about and I am also very sad that she is old enough to be going to school...in my eyes she is still my baby. I know she is not a baby and she will be fine but I am still worried about her...what if she has a seizure and no one really knows what to do, and she is out to long??? What if she is not having full seizures but is not there and misses out on what she is suppose to do?? What if she has a big seizure and loses ALL muscles control..will the other kids still want to play with her and be her friend?? I could play the "what if" game all day all night. These thoughts have consumed me for the past few weeks and I must admit they still do, but after church Wed. I realized something.."why am I afraid?" The lesson that night at church centered around Matthew 8:23-27...as I sat there I realized I was not having any faith...that I had not turned any of my worries or concerns about Emily Klair starting school over to God. I'm not sure why?? but I hadn't and I am trying really hard to do so. I never have pegged myself as someone that is a control freak but when it comes to Emily Klair I think that I may be just that!! I pray that I have more faith and that from now on when faced with even the smallest of worries I can stop and remember Matthew 8:26 Jesus answered, "why are you afraid? You do not have enough faith." Then he stood up and gave a command to the winds and the water. The wind stopped, and the lake became very calm.

Having it over and done....PRICELESS!!!!

I really do think that time is going by faster and faster these days!! We are loving playing outside and taking trips to the park. Spring is one of our favorite times of the year. Although I already have a fish named Emily Klair wanting to know when can we go swimming??



Both of my children are growing up way faster then I would like for them too!!! Tyler is in to soccer right now and loves it. I just love watching him play. He is doing great in school but is ready for summer vacation and I can not blame him I am too... His teacher said he was the heartbreaker of 1st grade all the little girls like him!! (warren is having a harder time with this then I am...Tyler has a couple girls that call him..and he has already been asked to the movies by one..go figure they are in 1st grade people..come on there is plenty of time for dating and talking on the phone!!) We are getting ready to have his birthday party..I know what your thinking "isn't his birthday in Jan.?" and yes it is but he wanted to have a camo party and do outside things like capture the flag, obstacle course, things of that nature so we decided to not have a party on his birthday and just have a party in the spring!! I am really excited about it because this will be the first one he has really ever had. He has always opted for the one or two friends spend the night parties....so yeah me I get to plan a party!!! I love it!!





Today was a big day in the life of Emily Klair she is officially a big girl!! Warren and I took her to get her kindergarten physical today....(boy am I glad that I convinced dad he needed to go with me!!) She was so brave she let them do her eye exam, hearing exam and even poke her finger and no tears!!! Dr. Denney could not believe how big a girl she was and as he was leaving said.."the nurse will be in shortly to give the 4 shots, have a good day!" and that is when it happened..My sweet little Emily Klair turned into this monster that was kicking and screaming!! Thankfully daddy was there and he could help hold her down and once she got the first one and realized it was not as bad as she thought she was okay...but for a few minutes there I was not sure it was going to happen. If you know about everything Emily Klair has been through going to the Dr. should be second nature to her...sometimes it is but sometimes because of everything she has been through it makes it harder because she can remember the things that hurt and was not fun so needless to say to have this over and done with is...PRICELESS!! No more thinking about it, talking about it, or worrying about it!!! We are all ready for kindergarten...now if we can just get lower letters of the alphabet down!!hehe

As my children get older I am amazed everyday at what a blessing they are. Tyler is our sweet one and so kind hearted, he really wears his heart on his sleeve(not sure where he got that from..lol) and Emily Klair is a sweetheart too, she is so playful, and loving, but will tell you real quick if it was not done to her liking. She is also a prankster like her mom and dad...hehe!!! both of our children are gifts from God. I really wish they did not grow up so fast!!
