Thanksgiving lunch with my biggest little!

I don't get a whole lot of one on one time with Jackson without little brother jumping in the middle, so I was pretty excited for the chance to have Thanksgiving lunch with JUST Jackson!

He's standing in line, being a super good, big boy!

Even if it does look like he has no arms...

Lunch time!

My biggest-little handsome-

Being silly

After lunch, Jackson's class sang their "Presidents" song for the parents.

Jackson is in the middle/back in the gray sweater. That little girl with glasses being a little ham was absolutely adorable. She told me her mommy is sick, but she would be well soon because she was praying for her mommy.

So cute! They all did a GREAT job!

I had such a nice lunch with my biggest little!

The end of school; the end of an era

Soooo, it's been awhile since I've posted, and by "awhile" I mean a year ago. Oops. I'm so busy during the school year with my own classes that I forget to post in the blog. I'll try to do better, especially for our family that lives far away. The end of this school year was crazy! I felt like I was running in circles working in the PTA- there was so much to do! I thought joining the PTA would be some good volunteer time at the boys' school- I had NO idea just how much time it takes! Next year, I'll be a little more prepared because I know what's coming. And that's not even the crazy part- Jackson has finished elementary and Harrison graduated from pre-k. That's crazy! Where did the time go?! Harrison's graduation was first, so I'll start there. It was soooo sweet and so cute, and I cried like a baby because he IS my baby. This tiny person is such a perfect little caboose for our family. Recently, I've been thin...

Maybe a new birthday tradition...

I just have one brother and his birthday is 5 days before mine, so it's been pretty easy to keep up with him. Jim, however, has 3 brothers and a sister, and now 3 of his siblings are married, so the birthday's just keep adding up. My forgetful brain can NOT keep up. Anyway, I've been looking for a cute and thoughtful way to send birthday greetings to all the aunts and uncles since we've been married. Almost 4 years later I think I finally have an idea! My idea is to make a birthday sign every year and have the boys take a picture with the sign for whatever family member has a birthday. Then send the person the picture with birthday greetings. Then every year they will have a different picture with the boys as they grow and I won't feel guilty missing anyone's birthday without proper acknowledgement. I also thought that it would make a great photo album for us if we keep each person's birthday picture with the boys and watch their growth progression ...

Can I finally join the club??

I have issues with making anything with yeast. It scares me. I tried making rolls or bread in home-ec as a kid and it was a FLOP! Since, I stay far away from baking goods with yeast, so of course, that includes homemade bread. I LOVE homemade bread, but I've never made it. I realize I'm not a real Mormon wife and mother because of this huge flaw, but I've managed to make it as a so-so wife and mom with this awful glitch in my character. Then I came across an "easy" recipe for honey wheat bread (thanks for posting it on fb Liz Nuffer) and decided to conquer my fear of yeast. First things first, I had to buy yeast- there are 394 different kinds of yeast. No one warned me how many different kinds there were! My fear began to overcome me, but I gathered all my strength and picked the most interestingly plain kind I could find. Hopefully it would do the trick! I followed the recipe, but it said to wait until the yeast "frothed". ...
