Wow!! I'm Back!

Okay so we all know those times in life when it gets so hectic that you can't think. Well that has been my life for the past month. We had a wonderful time on our vacation and I am planning on posting some pictures soon. We were enjoying ourselves so much that we extended it by one week and didn't come home until the week before school started. Needless to say with seven little ones starting school this year I had to hurry to get School clothes and supplies bought. Then I had to help them with their first week of school. Let me tell you sending Alecia to highschool for the first time and Brandon to Jr. High was really overwheming. I can hardly believe that Alecia is old enough to be in the 9th grade (gosh forget about her I don't feel old enough to be the mother of a high school student LOL). Anyway she started seminary (it is an early morning scripture study group that our church has that helps the teens learn more about our Savior and the gospel while helping them to gain a stronger testimony and by doing this it also helps them to make better choices throughout their time in H.S.) I was really worried about how I was going to get her to seminary and then to school while still helping the others get ready for school and to school. Well I really shouldn't have worried our Heavenly Father knows what we need and David was called (asked) to teach this class. Well now he takes the responsibility of taking her there and then to school so Woohoo I don't have to do it and I can sleep in as seminary starts at 6am. Brandon is now in Jr high and wants to be in band. We signed him up for it last year and He still doesn't have it on his schedule so I am having to do all the work to get the guidance counselor to change his schedule. Not very fun but definitly necessary. He is going to play the clarinet like his Dad.. WEll you would think that this would be enough firsts and all but nooooo I have the twins who start kindergarten this year. They do some kind of staggered entry so they haven't gone to their first day yet but I know that I am going to feel completely lonely when they go on Wednesday. I will no longer have any little ones at home. So before you ask what I am going to do with all my time I am going to remind you that I still have 7 children and they still need to eat, have clothes and have help with homework. I will not be bored and I will still be very busy only this time it will be without the littleones to keep me company. I am also going to volunteer at the school and do some subbing to fill in any time that I feel is left over. I am truly one of the most blessed women in the world (I know we all think that but well its my perogative to voice it Hee hee hee) I have 7 of the most well behaved kind kids and yes they do misbehave but overall they are sweet kids and I am always told how good they are. I have a husband who loves me very much and treasures me and our kids. and I know that my Heavenly Father loves me and wants what is best for me. So yes I am truly blessed just like you all are. I love you all so much and hope that you are all doing well. Ya'll take care and I will post pics of the vacation sometime this week.

Lots of Love
