It's hard to believe that Zach turned 14 today - I wonder where the years have gone. It sure seems that once he hit Kindergarten, it just never slowed down and now he is getting ready to enter high school in the fall. I am very fortunate that Zach is such a good kid and very proud that he is my son. Happy Birthday Zach!
Well, I have been playing with new "looks" for my blog and thought I'd try out the strawberry one. Anyone who knows me very well, knows that strawberries are my favorite - always has been, even since I was a little girl and so I just thought it was fitting to have strawberries as my blog theme. Not sure how long I will keep it - but it suits me for now.
There hasn't been too much going on lately - just normal day to day stuff. The kids have been a little crazy lately, not sure why. I have had my moments of trying not to pull my hair out. Peyton has learned some new words that are not nice at all. David mentioned that when he picked him up from school the other day, another child was using the "B" word and Peyton quickly picked up on this. I guess there is someone who has some language issues, but unfortunately, now I'm having to deal with it. We try to ignore and not make a big deal, we try to mention not to say it, etc and so on and nothing has seemed to work. I am about ready to use some good ol soap in the mouth if it doesn't end quickly. Aubrey came over to me the other day and said "Mom, you need to put soap in his mouth" - it was funny - she had her hands on her hips and was being the little momma. I had threatened him with that, but it didn't seem to bother Peyton. Just another challenge in the land of parenting!
I have been doing pretty good with my Weight Watchers. I have lost 6.2lbs in the past two weeks and hoping to continue on that success! I am very happy about it and looking forward to continuing down this path.
I hope everyone is doing well. Please keep the Johnson/Cline family in your prayers as today was Natalie's funeral. I cannot imagine as a parent what they must be going through, as anyone who has went through this. I imagine that Natalie is up in Heaven with her Uncle Matt, who passed away one year ago, keeping him company. Matt is Megan's (my SIL) brother who passed away from the flu at a young age of 26ish...somewhere around there. It just doesn't seem fair, but then anytime losing a child doesn't seem fair. Life is precious!
Until next time...
Dawn
