Preschool

Tomorrow is the big day for Drew. He officially starts preschool. He is very excited and loves his new backpack. I was a little teary the other day about him going to Kindergarten next year and being gone all day, so I asked him what he thought if mom was a little sad about him growing up and going to school. He looked up at me with those big blue eyes and said, "Mom I'm going to come home." That's true, as long as he comes home I have to let him go and experience life.

Cooper is sure talking a lot lately. He pretty much can say anything, but only if he wants to. Lately every time he sees me or comes into the same room as me throughout the day, he say's "Hi Mom." I bet he says it 30 times a day. I just love it. I always answer him back with "Hi Coops." Isn't it great that he is always excited to see me even if we've only been apart a few minutes.

I've been very busy with work lately. We take our mobile coach to the big Eastern Idaho State Fair in Blackfoot every year, so I've been up there most of labor day weekend. It hasn't been to bad, I get to choose what greasy (but delicious) fair food I want to sample everyday. Today I have to go on the local channel here in Pocatello to advertise the services Portneuf Hospital offers. I really hate being in front of a camera.

Stoney has begun to take up bow hunting and is really enjoying it. Our new neighbor has taken him out and now he has the bug. It has been a welcome break for him to do something besides yard work.


My brother Justin and his wife Ashlee had a little girl last week, and I've only seen her once and every time I see her on their blogspot I can't wait to get down there and give her loves. She is seriously the cutest baby I have ever seen.
