First Day of School

Carter started Kindergarten today!!!! I can't believe my baby is that old. boy does time fly. He has all day kinder. He was a little nervous to have to leave me for a long day. I walked him into his classroom and he was really good. He put all of his stuff where his teacher told him and then he gave me a kiss and a hug and said in a kind of sweat voice, "Bye Mom" All day I worried about him. Any of you who know my son know that he has a mind of his own. Well when I picked him up he was so happy to see me to tell me about his great day. He said it went awesome and that he can now remember his teachers name....sorry giving that info may be a little much for the internet. He also wants to ride the bus as soon as possible now. We haven't moved into our house yet so he will have to wait a little longer.

I can't believe how big he looks in my eyes, but how small he looks compared to all of the big kids at school.

Carter thanks so much for being such a good boy. I am so proud of you. Keep working hard, and try not to get any "uh-ohs" (I think that is equivalent to getting your name on the board.)

lovin the house

Daniel and I found a house. Although we are only renting we have a long term contract. We are really excited. The house was built in 2008 and we will be the first occupants! It has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. It is a big upgrade from what we have had in the past. The owner told us we could paint as long as he approves of the colors. Although we don't move in until the 1st, Daniel and I have been hard a work painting over the white flat paint walls. (I know....you can only imagine how much damage my boys could have done.) So, here is a picture.

We are HERE!!

We arrived in Chandler today at 2:30pm. It was a long adventure, but thanks to a good nights sleep at Jake and Brittany's house it was manageable. On the way to LA I locked our keys in the car. After an hour and $80, we were on our way. I can't believe I did that. Now we are here staying in the greatest house for the next couple of weeks. This house has 5 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms. It has a gourmet kitchen and everything is upgraded. Our kids aren't sure how to act in it. They are used to 900 sq ft and now they are in 3000 +. All good things will come to an end though. Daniel and I already have 3 appts to look at houses for rent. (this one is just temp until we can find another place.) I would upload pictures, but I feel like we won't be here long enough for it to matter. If you guys want to see it I will upload though.

Chase's BEST friends

Chase gets really attached to people. If you are one of the lucky ones who gets to be a best friend you are truely special to him. He has a best friend from preschool. (a high school student). His daddy is his best friend. Trevor is his best friend, and so are Nathan and Braden. Notice my name has been ommitted. I am not sure if I am a best friend right now or not. Nathan and his brother Ryland are the other boys pictured here. These boys have been great! During baseball season they would play with Chase and keep him out of trouble the whole time. It was awesome because they really PLAYED with him. Chase loves both boys so much.



Chase loves these boys so much that he begged me to invite them to his birthday party. they are so great to him that they came. I am not sure how much fun they had, but Chase was excited!
See, here is proof that Nathan caters to Chase. His best friend. They hunt for clovers, play at the park, play games, go to the snack shack, and pretty much whatever else Chase wants.

We are inbetween houses!

Since we are in between houses for the next 2 weeks. Please excuse the lack of pictures. Daniel has just finished with his last clinical adjustment. He only has class once a week now. He plans on getting a job in Ariona and flying back once a week for class. He is crazy! I will finish my last final on July 10th. I am excited for this summer semester to be over. It has been horrible! I don't ever want to take summer classes again. I felt like I didn't have the time to prepare well for each class. Today I have my hardest speech for my speech class, and I am so unprepared and nervous that I want to throw up! In about an hour and a half it will all be over though. Sorry for the rambling. School fulltime, two great and crazy boys, moving, and being in a state of limbo are taking their toll on me. I think at any given moment just about anyone could make me cry. Hopefully the next post will be better.
