Bridgy's Big Day

On Sept. 11. I didn't know if Natalie's school was going to talk about 9/11 or not. I wanted them to be a little prepared and informed about what happened on that day. I got out some magazines that i had saved and just gave them a quick overview of the day. I explained that all the people that had Jesus in their heart on that day went to be with Him in heaven.

To make a long story short Bridgy, Natalie and i prayed together to ask Jesus in Bridgy's heart. He really wanted to do it and repeated after me while i prayed. I told him that there was a big huge dance party goin on in heaven because of his decision, we called daddy and all the grandparents.

It was a euphoric moment. Bridge wasn't acting silly, he didn't take asking Jesus into his heart lightly. He was proud, i was proud. Soooo all in all very good day.

The end of the day rolls around, rod and i are working on some stuff on the computer and natalie comes in to tell us that she has built a tower and wants us to see it. We go into her room and she has tons of toys stacked up and her pointy cone princess hat right on top. She emphatically says "look at my tower!" and then proceeds to take one of Bridgy's toy airplanes and crashes it into her tower! rod and i looked at each other in complete shock and he said "honey i think you got some splainin' to do!"

Yeah i don't think i will be winning the Parent of The Year Award any time soon......

The First Week of School!

Yep! Both the kids entered school this year! Natalie into Kindergarden and Bridger Preschool. Last week we went to a teacher meet and greet and it really helped get them excited about this new adventure. Bridger liked seeing his name on a special hook, his cubby and on his desk. His teacher's name is Miss Wanda and his favorite part checkin out his desk.

Natalie's teacher's name is Mrs. Magill and she has a bunny and a fish tank in her class (huge hit!). Natalie found that she is going to have two of her friends in the class and this made the upcoming year so much more exciting!

Natalie's 1st day was Tuesday and she had her new dress all laid out, a special apple pancake breakfast and a ton of pictures taken. We got to school, took a few pictures with her friends, mommy, bridgy and daddy left. Mommy cried. But soon stopped when Bridgy so eloquently pointed out, "I know your sad cause were growing but Jesus and God are making us grow, so I think you should talk to them about it, cause I weawy don't think they are going to stop. Jesus and God just make us grow." So i dried my tears and we went shopping at walmart. After school we stopped by daddy's office where he presented her with a pink rose. (yes daddy scored some HUGE points on that one!)

Bridger's 1st day was Thursday (today) and he was over the moon with excitement! He had seen sissy go for two days and now it was his turn! He wanted to wear his wrangler jeans and white polo shirt with his blue sweater. But after he sat on one of his blueberries at breakfast and splashed milk everywhere we changed jeans, mommy took another ton of pictures, we headed to school, Bridger is thrilled, mommy cries (yes again and no he didn't see me).

They both had a wonderful time and are ready to take on this new adventure head on. We are excited to see what God has in store for them as "Jesus and God grow them up."
