First day of SCHOOL

Thats right today was Lawson's first day of second grade and Miss Britain's first day of Kindergarten...They looked adorable and were excited to go. This morning while the kids were eating breakfast I heard Lawson quizzing Britain....making sure she was ready for school..it was adorable to see how much of a great big brother he is that he wants to help her be ready for her first day. Brit didn't even mind...I on the other hand saved my tears for the car ride to work....Such a magical special day and I feel so blessed I was there for it and got to pick them up and find out the details of their day..first thing Lawson said to me was " I didn't move my stick at all" woohoo ( moving the stick means you got in trouble )

Update

Where do I start there is so many new things to share. Lawson turned 8 years old! Where has the time gone? His newest response to anything now is “Hey I’m just a kid.” We celebrated his birthday with video game shopping a trip to the lake riding the jet skiing and cake. He is having a swim party this weekend. Tadd came home from work the beginning of July and the kids and I were so HAPPY to see him. The fourth of July was a big day for our family. Tadd asked me to marry him on the fourth. We spent a beautiful day on the lake then a BBQ and home made ice cream at the Ivy’s house then fireworks. Tadd and I were sitting next to one another watching the firework show and during the finale I was enjoying the pretty fireworks when I heard “Hey babe..” I look to my side and Tadd isn’t there instead he is on his knee with a ring in his hand and asking me to marry him. I was taken by complete surprise and of course said yes. The kids are very excited they can’t wait for us to be married and be one big happy family. Lawson was amazing during football this year. His last game he made multiple tackles and they announced his name over the loud speaker acknowledging the AWESOME tackle. I was SO very proud of him. Lawson is such a helper and sweet caring soul we are so blessed that he is in our lives. Britain is doing soccer again and finished her first season of tball. She is such a sporty girl. This morning while brushing her teeth she came to me and handed me a tooth. That’s rigt my little girl is losing her baby teeth. She is growing up! Tomorrow is the first day of kindergarten for her and she is ready…me not so much…I am going to try and post more and merge this blog with my new blog as well…

Bring on SUMMER

Oh my what fun we have had! The kids and I went to see Tim Mcgraw and The Zak Brown Band last night. Brit played air guitar right along with the band. It was so cute. I think her first concert would have been Collin Ray and Restless Heart last summer. They both really love music. I have started working for an office in Bentonville so that means I can cut my evening and weekend working schedule down. We are ready for summer! The kids and I already hit up the Springdale Aquatic Center on Memorial day FUN!!!!!!!!!! Will post Brit's graduation pics soon! 2010 Coleman's Pre K Grad!

Update

So much has went on…I have been working a lot and playing chauffeur to my two adorable kids I have neglected my blog….Bad me! Lawson had a school play and was a hip hop rapper bunny.

He also had a career day and I managed to make him a
scientist Coble outfit. He also was Dr. Seuss for his famous American presentation so we got to make a cool hat!

I was also lucky enough to be able to help decorate the first grader’s stickhorses. I made camo ones, a captain America one, soccer….so many and of course Lawson and I made him a Rockstar horse he named Hollywood. I turned a year older and had a wonderful birthday with the kids and the ones I love the most. I was quite spoiled actually from flowers to cupcakes to diamonds. I enrolled Brit for Kindergarten this fall. She is growing up too quickly! We had a fun dinner and Easter egg hunt at the Ivy’s. Brit loves Miss Becky’s cake! The stickhorse rodeo was so fun! We got to milk “cows”, a hay ride and so many fun games. Lawson had a blast with all his great friends!

I am so glad I have had so much time with Lawson and his first grade class this year. Lawson earned his wolf badge for cub scouts. We have been having so much fun lately enjoying the nice weather and the front yard. We are ready for SUMMER!

February 2010

Oh my where to begin? I must say I love this Windows Live Writer for blogs! It makes blogging even more simple. Miss Britain officially turned 5! I can’t believe my baby is 5 already! Where does time go? I will post some pictures from her birthday as well as Lawson’s Valentines party. What a great time we had. I managed to find Hello Kitty cupcakes for Britain to share with her pre K friends. They were adorable! I asked Brit where she wanted to go for her special birthday dinner or if she wanted me to make her something special….all she wanted was a lunchable and sparkling grape juice. We had a mini cake for dessert after gymnastics as a final celebration to a very special day. She is having her birthday party this Saturday at her gymnastics place. She is very excited! I can’t wait to tackle a hello kitty cake! I would love to share more but I am off too pick up Lawson at school and wake Brit up from her nap. I am so blessed to have such an abundance of time with my babies! I love being able to take Lawson and Brit to school every morning!

Surprise Visitor

Last weekend the kids, my mom and I were graced with a special visitor from Washington! My best friend since the tenth grade came to see us! The kids and I had a great time with Aunt Candace. We carved pumpkins and played many fun games! The kids both had games so they got to show Aunt Candace their soccer skills. Lawson is getting over the flu, poor guy had a 102 fever when I took him to the doctor Wednesday. Lawson and I got to stay home together all week and work on getting him better. He was prescribed Tamiflu, what a miracle drug that is. If you catch the flu early on and take this medicine it can alleviate the flu symptoms within a day. Britain had her last soccer game on Saturday and Lawson had his annual cub scout camp out. He got to go for the day but missed ot on the camping since it was a little too soon from his flu recovery. Our kitty Sasha is now officially an outdoor cat. As Britain told my mother "She broke the rules. She got three chances and she broke the rules." She has made some kitty friends and taken over our porch as her new palace. Lawson and I had a blast at his annual school carnival, the husky hoedown. There was a train ride, cotton candy and many fun games for all!
