School starts and Swim lessons! :)

 Savanna is officially a kindergartner! She started on 8/20, and LOVE LOVE LOVES it. She was made to go to school :)



 Savvy has a great teacher, Ms. Isaacson. So far in the first week, she learned all the months of the year, a weather song, and lots of other fun songs. She is learning Spanish 2 days a week and doing music 2 days a week. PE every day! Which she doesn't always love, "We had to RUN. A lot. I didn't like it ." I told her it was good for her :) They also get to use IPads, so now she thinks we need one as a family.

She is an excellent student...so far, and is making friends. She commented that there is another girl her same size too :) otherwise she is taller than everyone :) How I remember that!
 Celebration dinner at a new Mexican dive we found - Yay for Family!!

 CHEESE with Papa....
 Wyatt got to take 2 sessions of swim lessons this summer and is ROCKING it. He can now actually swim by himself - not for long, but enough, and is an amazing FLOATER. He can roll from front to back, and floats like it is his bed :)
 Jumping in the water was one of his favorite things. Love that he is in the AIR here!! :)

 One of the activities they did was "saving" someone. Miss Cindy asked for "help!" and Wyatt learned how to lay on his tummy and pulllll her in to safety. Pretty cool.
 Best part of the whole set of lessons - going down the slide on the last day. He loves to go by himself - lays on his back and puts his hands behind his head and shooooooots down like a BULLET.


 Swimming!!




FLOATING!

Holy Yoga, a trip to the ER...and God's goodness

well we discovered that West Valley Hospital and Phoenix Children's Hospital are both great facilities. Saturday night Wyatt fell from one of the dining room chairs - no one saw him, I got to him immediately but i am not exactly sure what happened. Loooong story and 7 hours in the hospital. The Dr's at West Valley did a c/t scan on Wyatt, and came to the conclusion that there was some bleeding on the left side of his brain. So they shipped us to PCH, where the nuerologists came to the conclusion there was absolutely nothing wrong and no bleeding on the brain. PTL! It was a hard thing to go thru - watching them, holding Wyatt as they poked him, scanned him and generally bugged him. He took it like a champ, however, and around 1130pm when I was having a snack b/c I nearly passed out on the table as they were drawing blood from him, Wy was so MAD that he couldn't have a snack too. So glad to see the little fighter was back. Charles had to return to work in the midst of all thi...

NEW ADVENTURES - 2018

Image
Well, it has been a ridiculous amount of time since I last created a blog post. To say that life has happened is an understatement LOL So much has happened. Charles worked as a police officer for the City of Goodyear for 7 years, then transferred to the Gila River Indian Reservation and worked there for 14 months (way too far and so hard on the family!!) He started working for the city of Buckeye in September 2015 and it has been a GREAT city to work for. He has been a police officer for 11 years now! I work for Revelation Wellness and it is such a JOY! I started out working as an Enrollment Adviser, welcoming new instructors into the training and now I am the Director of Culture - handling HR, developing our team and working with the instructors in their regions. I LOVE my job. Savanna is now 11 and going into 6th grade. Wyatt is 9 and going into 4th. Hudson is 7 and going into 2nd grade. So many changes since 2013 when I last posted :) Here is how we got to this adventure! ...

A family member you may never have known we had..

I am the grandmother to a moose. Yes, you heard me correctly, a MOOSE. She doesn't have a "re al" name, it is simply "moose" or "moosie." She has become a permanent and important part of our daily life. Yesterday Moose looked at me and said "Grandma!" Wow. Not ready for the one quite yet. Guess I'm getting some practice in on a small, blue well-loved moose with no neck to speak of any more. (Her neck has been "loved" do wn into her belly). She 1st joined our family when Savvy was 1 or so, a nd went ignored for quite a while...I think she was discovered shortly after the little brother came on the scene. Moose goes EVERYWHERE with us, and occasionally sleeps at other people's houses, esp.Grandma's (on accident)...Once we thought we'd left her at Safeway and I almost cried...until I remembered, she is just a BLUE MOOSE. Still, she is part of every thing in life... "Momma, Moosie doesn't like that. Momma, Moos...
