Another new picture- I couldn't create this hair if I tried!

2 boys and a green iguana! Thank you Rainforest!

Since it has been about a year since I have blogged- here is a couple new pictures of the brood!

Running for Kentwood School Board!

I am very excited to announce I am running for Kentwood School Board.

Election date is May 3, 2011.

I debated with myself about creating a new Blog for this adventure. I elected to stay with this blog because it is who I am- a mother of three boys- two currently in the Kentwood Public School system. I have a vested interest in the quality of their education, an obligation to participate in neighborhood events, and support my community. So far, I have received overwhelming support from parents, the school's my children have attended, and school administration. This adventure has only just begun so keep checking back for updates!

back...now 2010

Wow...been more than a year. Where has the time gone? I cannot even imagine how many parents have said that since the dawn of time. It still is as true....

We just celebrated William's 10th birthday. TEN! double digits! His birthday marks the end of summer and the start of school. William is going into 4th grade. Another marvel of life...advancement in school. I look back at his previous school pictures. Amazing. His favorite pasttime (minus of course video games) is drawing and creating comic books.

Zach is 8. He will be nine after the new year. He is blazing a trail to 3rd grade. We just met everyone's teacher last week. He is our dancer. Everything has to do with music.

He and his big brother spent a lot of time in the water this summer- at grandmas, in the backyard in the pool, sprinklers. And what a hot summer. Perfect weather for water!

Isaac, Mayor McCheese, is our dyamo. He will miss his entertainment when they go back to school. He is all toddler and all 2....mood swings, attitude and all kisses when he wants. He has such a winning smile, it is hard to stay mad after the peas & macNcheese flies through the air.

I'll back again sooner, I promise! :-)

mac and cheese heaven

don't get between this man and his mac!

watch the last three seconds close

i about fell out of my chair when I caught a glimps of the future...

next it will be "just drop me off here, I don't want anyone to see the car or YOU!"

:-)

Just an afternoon growing up a little at a time. I cannot help but feel very blessed every day- for everything I have.
