June Wrap Up- Kayla

Kayla started out June with saying good-bye to her freshman year at Century High School. One of her first comments as she got in the car was "Next year we can pick on the little freshman" There is no sympathy card from this girl! All is fair in earning your spot in the pecking order! Some sleepovers and beach days and summer has begun.

Her mission trip went well. I'd love for her to write something for me to include here. I'm working on it. I think it was a good trip. One thing I can't resist writing about is her joking abilities. My little angel took her cell phone and set the alarm for 4am, then proceeded to tape the phone shut and then used more tape to hold it in place under the blinds in the room the boys were sleeping in. At 4am a rooster started crowing in the boys room and they could not find the source. That's my girl Laughing out loud

Last Saturday Kayla turned 15. The day of her birthday was the street dance for Rochesterfest and also a wedding that Rick and I were attending so we decided to celebrate on the 22nd. She invited her good friend Laura and my mom joined us for dinner. We went to Michael's. Kayla's favorite thing to eat there is also my favorite and that is the deep fried mushrooms. They are really yummy! I had my mom bring a cake in ahead of time and I decorated the top of it with a IPod Nano. The waiter came out holding a cake with a lit 15 on it and we sang. She was so embarrassed she didn't even notice the IPod right away.

I'm not sure if she was teary eyed from embarrassment or she was happy about the gift. She and Laura giggled their way to the ladies room and when we got home they loaded up the ITunes with music. Next on her list is driver's ed. Yikes. I can't think about that right now! Disappointed smile

Heaven

The clouds tonight were fantastic. When I look at clouds I can’t help but imagine how soft and fluffy they are. I can almost picture myself bouncing off of them fearlessly. I said to Rick tonight that I imagine in heaven I will get to do that- I will have no fear like I do here on earth of hurting myself or my bladder giving out- (just keeping it real!) For me growing up not knowing Jesus- barely even knowing of Him, Heaven was really an unknown. I have a really vivid memory of when I was younger. I remember the house we lived in so I suppose I was around 9 and I knew my Grandma lived in heaven. She passed away when I was just 6 of cancer. Because I didn’t really understand death I didn’t get why she just couldn’t come back. Someone must of told me heaven was in the sky because when I yelled and I mean I. Yelled . up to heaven I begged Grandma to come back. I was home alone in my living room and  I distinctly remember telling her that if she really loved me she’d come back.

Uno!

I am so thankful for my two little guys... (which they are not so little anymore) They are both so fun, so smart and so DIFFERENT... right down to the way they look. I found this video of them and they had just turned 4 and 5. Eric was starting Kindergarten and Sam preschool. They were playing UNO with Rick and I don't think I had ever seen this video before. It is an absolute PERFECT picture of the two of them. Take note that Sam never stops moving and Eric is just as mellow as can be. That is still true of them. Also notice the YELLOW KNEE HIGHS they are both wearing (not sure if you can see Eric's)- yep those yellow Mickey Mouse knee highs were the favorite ALL summer that year- Sam more so then Eric, I have TONS of pictures of Sam with shorts on and those silly knee highs! I sure love them. (the boys well and the knee highs too)

Glasses

Just some background... When Sam was about 6 months old we had him seen by a Pediatric Ophthalmologist for a blocked tear duck on his right side. While examining him the Doctor found his vision was more far-sighted in his right eye than his left. Now all babies are far-sighted to some degree, this is often even on both sides and will resolve itself in the first year to year and a half of life. At one year Sam had surgery to probe his tear duct and again his eye exam showed improvement in his left eye but not his right. At 18 months he got his first pair of glasses. We were also supposed to patch his good eye to force his weaker eye to work harder. Well after many, many attempts this has not happened. So here we are now. As of his last appointment ( Thursday the 2ND ) his sight in his right eye has worsened even more. His new glasses came in on Wednesday and so the battle begins ( again )! First battle, trying to convince Sam he should wear his glasses. I let him pick out new frames,
