Well, we are now a month into school. Wow, I can't believe that it has already been a month. Bradyn really loves school and he is eager to go every morning. It is funny though because he also really likes the weekends. He says it is because he can play with his toys all day and that he doesn't have to eat breakfast right away. It was a struggle at first to get Bradyn to eat before school. Now he eats with no problems.
It is so nice because at his school we are allowed to go and have lunch with him whenever we can. So, last week me and Parker and Logan were having lunch with Bradyn and his teacher happened to be in the lunchroom too. She went on to tell me how happy she was to have Bradyn in her class. She said that he was such a sweet boy and how well we have done raising him. It is so wonderful to hear that he has a teacher who loves having him in her class. It really brings comfort to my heart.

Another First Day
Well, I had my first day of work today and it went pretty well. They were refinishing the gym floor in the child center, so they had the child care in one of their upstairs rooms. It was a small room with hardly any toys, so Parker got pretty bored really quick. Having a 5 hour shift was hard on him. However, I know that when we go in on Monday he will have a lot more fun. The child center is pretty much kid heaven. There are so many toys and a really fun maze like they have at McDonald play places, only this one is way bigger. So, I think that they will like it. Logan did very well and if I ever had to leave the room he just came with me. Seeing as I only ever left to take my break (during which I was able to give my kids the snack that I brought them) or take Parker to the bathroom or for Logan's poopy diaper, it really wasn't a problem.
The people that work there all seem really great, so I think that I too will enjoy going there. All in all, first day was A OK!!!

New Job
Well, tomorrow I enter back into the working force. I got a job at Lifetime Fitness in the child care department. I am happy for this job because I can bring my kids with me to work for no charge. As of right now I will be working 2 days a week, with 5 hour shifts. I am excited to see how everything goes. I am a little worried about how Logan will do. For those of you who know him, you know why. He freaks out if I ever leave him. Luckily I will always be there, I just hope he doesn't expect me to be by his side the whole time. The child center is one big play place so, I am hoping they just have a blast. I'll post later to tell how it went.
My Friend Christina's Niece
These are the Words of my dear friend Christina......
My niece
My niece has been missing for 12 days now (I believe, could be more). Her parents (my sister and brother-in-law) believe that she ran away. I hope that they don't mind me airing out our "dirty laundry" for all to see, but I think that the more exposed this is, the faster she can be found.
These are from Oct. of last year.
Ashley (left) Chelsea (right)
Her name is Ashley Marie Pace (Zimmerman). She is 16 and was last seen in Rigby Idaho. She was out of the 5-C (Juvenal hall) on probation. Obviously, she has been having some issues lately. We are all trying to figure out where she might have gone to. There are a few possibilities, but nothing conclusive. She left without her things, only what she had on her back. She didn't even pick up her paycheck before skipping town.
We are all very concerned. It makes it extra difficult not to be in Idaho with my family during this. I would appreciate anyone who reads this, to pass along this information. In 12 days, you could hitch practically anywhere. I will post when I have more information.

Parker's Preschool
So, last week we had a lot of first days. Not only did Bradyn and Les start school, but Parker also started preschool. Due to the way expensiveness of preschools, I joined a mom's preschool group with 4 other women in my church ward. The kids are going to meet every Tues. and Thurs. for a couple of hours. I will only need to take my turn teaching about every 8 weeks or so.
Parker was so excited to start school and today, the mom who taught said that he did the best at the little worksheet they did. Of course, Parker is at least 6 months older than most of the kids. But, oh well he has been enjoying it. Logan was pretty sad the first day that he didn't get to stay too. He insisted on wearing a little back pack too.

Records Read!!!
Well, today we finally became offical members of the Flower Mound 3rd Ward. After a month of anxiously waiting and making sure to actually be on time for church, our records were finally read in today. I guess now we don't have to worry about being on time any more :) No no I am just kidding. We are so lucky because even though church is at a horrific 8:30am we only have to travel about 2 minutes to get to our building. I feel so blessed for that also, there are so many members here. In the city of Flower Mound alone, there are 5 wards. I almost feel like we are living in Utah :)
Logan actually stayed in Nursery (without mom or dad with him) for all of the 3rd hour. We were able to reunite him and Parker into the same class again. I hope that continues to help. I continue to meet really wonderful sisters in our ward and I hope to become good friends with all of them. Have a wonderful Sunday!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDMA SUE!!!!!
Today is my wonderful and fabulous mothers Birthday. Today she is a very young young woman. We just wanted to give her a shout out and say how much WE LOVE YOU and miss you. She is going to be having a really special birthday because she gets to spend it with my sister Lisa and her family in Virginia. Love you guys too!!!
Les' First day of school (work)
Not only was Monday Bradyn's first day of school, but it was also Les' first day as a REAL teacher at Lewisville High School. He is now a Fighting Farmer (that is their mascot isn't it so funny). I think he was nervous, but he is just so awesome that I knew he would do a great job :) Things have been going really well and he is jumping right into things. He is teaching 3 blocks of Spanish I. In the Lewisville ISD they have block scheduling so he only teachs 3 90 minute classes. I think that he fits in real well and gets along really great with the other teachers. I have met the principal a couple of times and he seems like a great guy. Les is hoping to become an assistant Wrestling coach so I will keep you all posted on that development.
Last night we went to our first Fighting Farmers football game and had a lot of fun. The boys really enjoyed themselves. We only stayed to halftime due to the hour, but we still had a blast. I forgot how crazy high school football can be.

First Week of School
Well, I decided that I don't want to wait any longer to post about Bradyn's first week of school. I was waiting to put pictures with this post, but I still have no idea where our camera cord is. I am sure it is in some mystery box stuffed into one of our many closets :)
Anyway, the whole family was able to take Bradyn for his first day of school. I was so happy that Les was able to come with us too. It is really nice because here, the elementary school starts 45 minutes before the High School does. This way, if needed, Les will be able to drop Bradyn off at school before he heads off to work. The High school is only about 5 minutes from our apartment so Les has no commute time (which of course I love). Back to the first day.... Bradyn was excited to start school, but he told me that he was a little scared. He walked right into his classroom and we found his table. As we left he watched us the whole way out the door, but he didn't cry or anything, he just watched us. Amazing, I felt really good about leaving him there. I had been soooooo nervous about sending him for the last week, so I prayed very hard for strength. Gratefully my prayers where answered and I felt really good about the whole thing. Here, kindergarten is all day so Bradyn was able to bring is lunch in his new lunch box. We live really close to the school, so when it was time to get him me and the other two boys walked to pick Bradyn up. It was so funny because when he came outside he was so upset that I didn't drive to pick him up. He was so tired and it was 100 degrees outside. I told him that I would drive the next day.
He said that his first day was really good and that he had Spanish class that day. I asked him how recess was and he said that it wasn't that fun because it was hot and he was soooooooo sweaty. If he know Bradyn, you know how sweaty he gets :) All and all I think he really had a good first day.
The rest of the week went just as well. He has a special class everyday wether it be Spanish, Art, Music or Gym. He said that music was fun (he had that on Wednesday) and that they danced. I think that he is starting to make friends because he is actually talking about specific kids now. The only problem I have had is with the cafeteria. Thursday there was a invoice in Bradyn's folder saying that I owed for a bought lunch. I asked Bradyn if he bought lunch one day and he confidently told me NO. So, I called the cafeteria and told them that he brought his lunch everyday. In there records they had him buying on the first day, which I know didn't happen because the teacher asked that first day if he brought his lunch. Anyway they took off the charge and apparently there is a Braylin in his class, so maybe this child bought lunch instead. I just hope that this doesn't happen again. One really cool thing about this school district is that Me, Parker and Logan can go and have lunch with Bradyn when we can. We were going to go on Friday, but something came up and we weren't able too. Thankfully I never told Bradyn that we were going to come. Also, he teacher seems really great and she has been teaching awhile so that is nice.
Well I found the cord so I guess I can put pictures after all.
