It's the Most Wonderful time of the Year-2009!

Marcie's first day of Preschool.

Graham's first day of Kindergarden.

Going off to 2nd Grade

4th grade??? That happened WAY to fast!

The summer was fun, I went crazy, we swam tons, the kids were getting on each others nerves, and I was totally ready for school to start. But I have to say, on the days Marcie is at preschool I don't want to be home. The quiet, empty house makes me nervous. I know I'll get use to it soon enough, but for now I kind of miss the wild summer days. On the bright side, the kids are having the time of their lives at school with all their good buddies and awesome teachers. After almost 10 years of a kid constantly with me, I am really looking forward to a few hours a week to me, myself, and TARGET!!!! It's going to be a fun year.

Thanks Heather!

My good friend sent me an email about one of her friends scary experiences with her blog. After reading it I have decided to make our family blog private. If you would like to check in on our crazy family now and then email me with your email, or leave it in the comments if you feel okay doing that.

A mom's finest moment!

Feaby Muffin Lovin

A few weeks ago the kids gathered up all of their money and asked their Dad (not Mom) if he would take them over to Petsmart so they could buy a rodent. So, we have done critters in the past. The first was a gerbil that died of a heart attack because Sophie found it's cage and gave it a joy ride around the backyard. Second, a guinea pig that we kept for a couple months, but was soooo stinky we ended up giving it away at a garage sale. The third was a snake that Jaden got for his 8th birthday. One day he escaped his poorly devised container and we have never been able to find him (probably hiding, growing, waiting for the time to seek its revenge). The fourth was "Feaby Muffin", a cute litte dwarf hamster. You would think we (when I say "we" I really mean Darren) would have learned from our past mistakes. Well cute little Feaby lasted three weeks. The poor thing probably died because she came to the critter cursed Lovin house. The kids really did love her, and she was actually pretty cute. This is how she will be remembered...

Will be remembered for how fast she went on her wheel.

Rest in Peace little Feaby.

Rim Country

There is nothing better than celebrating the 4th of July up in Heber with our family. We have enjoyed going so many times in the past and this was the first year we have been able to go since Marcie was born. The kids had a great time running around the field, dancing, playing with their cousins, eating snow cones & watching the amazing fireworks. Can't wait to do it next year!
