A day in Memphis
We enjoyed a great day at the temple. We had a surprise visit from Matt Hillier and a visit from Elder Lisch which made the day even better.
Soccer
Our life is a whirl wind of activities. There is never a dull moment, but at least we stay out of trouble!
Monday: Dance
Tuesday: Swim
Wednesday: Piano & Soccer
Thursday: Swim
Friday: We catch our Breath
Saturday: Soccer Games
The trio are loving all of their activities. They are learning valuable skills and getting good physical activity for their little bodies. The boys are especially loving soccer. Although, Jeron is so laid back we are going to have to make sure he remembers that he is suppose to run with the ball. ;)

Labor Day
Over labor day, we had a much needed family vacation. We stayed the weekend with my grandparents home in Canton. It was so nice to be able to spend time with them. Plus, it was worth it for the pecan pie alone! Saturday, we took the trio to the Children's Museum in Tyler. They had so much fun and really enjoyed themselves. My Uncle & his wife and his youngest son met us at the museum. It was nice to catch up I had not seem them in quite sometime.
We left on Sunday. On our way home, David & Katie met us for lunch and a trip to the park. It was so good to see them and spend time with them no matter how short it was.
Before we left Ashlin asked if Grandpa David grew up in Grandaddie and Grandma's home. I walked her over to a picture of my biological father's picture and told her Ashlin this is my dad and he grew up here. He chooses not to be a part of my life but I am OKAY with this. You know why Heavenly Father has always blessed me with the people I needed in my life and gave her examples. I was very calm when I told her this and really wanted to stress the blessings in my life. She began to cry and I told her to please don't be sad I am alright with this. She said, "Mom, I know it makes you sad I can see it on your face." What an amazing spirit my little one has. She was very quiet for quite sometime. My heart truly ached for her. I always thought I could protect her (and the boys) from some of my family relationships. I was talking to Shawn he said, it is her/their history too. It's important to be honest when questions arise. It is and has been my hope that I can be a parent that will not bring pain to one my children's lives or generations to come.
Here are a few of our fun moments captured on camera.

Open House 2011
The kids were very excited for open house to show us their rooms, their work, and their teacher. We love to see what their day is like and to see their excitement for their learning environment. Basically, we have great kids and we love seeing and hearing it confirmed! ;)
2011 School Year
Sigh.....once again I am a little behind. The trio started another school year. They are growing up right before our eyes. I am so grateful we were blessed to be their parents. They truly choice spirits and it's a blessing to be their parents!
Darwin straight to the window after we left. He was already missing the trio!
Ashlin began second grade this year. She is Ms. Decker's class. This was her first choice, so she was delighted. She continues to love school as much as always. She is doing really well and we are very please with her excellence in academic work.
Jaxon started kindergarten this year. From a previous post (ie. August 12th) we got off on a very rock start). Although, we still are not comfortable with the principal his teacher (Ms. Fason) has been great. Jaxon is doing great. He has been a real champ and has show great responsibility taking care of his hearing aids and FM system throughout the day. He loves PE and Coach Sullivan. He has made friends and enjoys going to school. We are happy that our first impression of Kindergarten has changed and that we feel very comfortable with his placement. We have learned much this school year. We will make sure we are prepared for his next 504 meeting in the spring where we will not be in this same position next year!
Jeron is spending a 2nd year at the UCA Child Study Center. He is in the 4 year old class. His teacher is Ms. Leann, it's her first year at the Child Study Center. Jeron loves her and loves his preschool. Even better for Jeron we were able to get one of our friend's son, Lance Nail, hired there. So, he gets to have one of his favorite people at this school throughout the week. He will come home with his artwork and be so proud that him and Lance worked on it together. This year has started off on a great foot and we are really pleased with how well Jeron has been doing this year.
