Middle School!

Well today's was L's first day of 6th grade aka Middle school! He was hard to get up as ususal, he was nervous but all in all he did great! We went to the office for a schedule change and then he went on to class when the bell rang! He seems to be quite the little popular guy on campus as everyone was saying Hey Lane whats up! That made me smile with pride!

This sure is a whole lot different from the VERY FIRST day of school when he went to pre-k! He cried, I cried, I drove around town the entire time he was at school because I refused to go home because i just couldn't be that far away and even drove back and peaked in the window like 4 times. Each year has gotten easier for him to go and let go... I see that as each year goes by he is growing up and the time is going by so fast! I am going to cherish this time and laugh at the times to come where I embarass him just by being his mom! I love this kid! He is my heart! Just ask him!

It's been a hot one in Oklahoma!

Today seems like spring in Oklahoma since it is just 93 degrees! Ha! For the past month it has been between 100-110 here in Oklahoma so I am enjoying the "spring like" weather!

Football practice started Monday and I am really excited tha L is playing this year! I really don't know how he is doing it! It is hot without football pads and a helmet on! But I keep saying I am going to be freezing in the stands before long and he will be hot out on the field! GO CATOOSA INDIANS 6TH GRADE!



School starts next week and L will be going to middle school this year YIKES! He is pretty excited about it! I'm excited but a little concerned because as we all know school gets a little more difficult and they start dealing with different issues! I'm glad I don't have to do it again! Ha!

Everyone have a great day and ttyl!
