Only 4 1/2 days left of school. Jamie told me they were at Lagoon the other day and I thought...on a school day? I forget that the rest of the country gets out way before we do. I am so sad that Griffin will be going attending middle school next year, and leaves at 7:30. Gone is the 9 a.m. departure! He is such a blessing from above. Anyone who knows him is aware of how responsible he is. Yes, he still has to remind ME about appointments or checks to be sent to school, soccer tournaments and what not. When we are out and I need to remember something for later I just have to say, "Griffin remind me about this later", and he can.
Today I drove past Griffin walking with Camdyn to school. They are such good little friends and it made me sad to think that will never happen again. She doesn't like it when Griffin's friends meet up with them, because she likes to have one on one time to talk together as they walk. Hopefully she'll be just as good to Kennedy next year.....although I'm not sure I could put Cammy in charge of walking the two of them home:>
Perhaps summer will actually begin here once school gets out. Yesterday it was still 50's and rainy. It's a good thing I love the rain. Last night @ 8:30 I wanted to get a movie since Todd is working a 48 hours shift, so the girls and I bundled up and biked up to the video store. It was a little drizzly out, but one cannot wait for the rain to stop or we'd live our lives indoors!
About Me
- Stacey
- Vancouver, Washington
- I have 4 beautiful, healthy children. Griffin, Camdyn, Kennedy and Brody. I've had four hard pregnancies....but I'm all done! Hooray! Todd and I have been married for 14 years. His support, love and friendship fulfills everything I could have ever wanted out of a marriage. He is my confidant and closest friend...In fact I'd rather spend time with Todd or the kids than with anyone else. Todd has the best job in the world, a firefighter.....ok it's dangerous, but sexy at the same time! Plus he has an unbeatable schedule that allows for tons of family time. I love to stay up late, cleaning, scrap-booking, reading, blogging....then wake up at 5:30 and run for a few hours. I work very part time for an Orthodontist and it's SO much fun! I also teach spin and wieght training classes at a local gym. I love to run marathons, completed my first Ironman in 2005 and find half ironmans much easier to squeeze into my schedule. My most fullfilling role as a mother is knowing that I am doing all I can to make lasting memories in the lives of my husband and children.

Griffin sounds like such a great young boy. Those are darling thoughts about the kids and their relationships. I remember dreading/anticipating school being out for the summer. It was a love/frustrating kind of an experience. Loved having our children all home. Disliked having all their friends home for the summer as well. We established "family" days and "friend" days. It was the only way I could survive, otherwise I would have 20 extra kids around every day. Summer days are the best and it's fun to just chill and do some fun summer type activities. Three cheers for summertime!
It is true that life goes on in the rain! I love the pictures you have of Griffin with his arm around Camdyn. Those two not only look alike, but have been chums from the start.
nothing warms a mothers heart more than seeing her kids enjoying one anothers company and having fun together.
I get home sick for May 25th every year, it seems like it was always around that day that my kids would be getting out. Although it is good that the weather is warming up at just the right time. Just a few more days. I am so Excited!
