First Day of School


I had to paparazzi Kyler. He didn't want to get his picture taken.


Look at my little Kindergartner.



After two official weeks at school, Kambrie is loving it, and Kyler is hating it. Really. Kambrie does like five pages of extra writing every night, and I can barely force Ky to do his homework. He also already had to have a talk with the principal cause I couldn't pry his hands off of the front doors of the school to get him to go in yesterday. Nice. I know. Luckily we know the principal, and she was really nice about it. She was able to convince him to go to his class while I got to go and talk to the school counselor in my hot pink pajama bottoms, goldish yellow, ten year old city league softball T-shirt with a hole in it, no bra and tennis shoes with no socks. No, I hadn't showered yet, in fact I don't even know if I had brushed my teeth. I just threw on my stuff out of bed and was going to get ready as soon as I had the kids off to school. Well, when Kyler stalled for five minutes a half a block away from the house, I threw on my Nikes and thought I could convince him to get going. You can see that my persuasion skills need some work, as I had to walk him all the way to school and live out one of my most embarrassing moments. The counselor and the principal seem to think that this may happen again, and they gave me their cell phone numbers so that one or the other of them can meet me at the door when it does. I'm hoping that it will never happen again, and you can bet if it does, I won't be in my pajamas!

I wonder if the Golden Girls know that things like this happen when they are declaring on national television that they both want to have a baby so badly. Okay, okay, I wouldn't trade it for anything, not even a gold medal, but honestly, you never know what you're getting yourself into when you become a parent.

Olympic Glory

I'm just going to brag a little bit and let everyone know that one of my best friend's husbands is in the Olympics. His name is Jake Gibb and he is a pro beach volleyball player. I'm so excited for Jane and Jake! This is such an incredible experience...dream come true. Jane was my setter my sophomore year at Dixie (no wonder Jake married her, she was a little stud setter besides being a hottie. Yah, both my brothers had a huge crush on her and pretty much loved coming to my games to watch HER.) Anyway, I still remember the first time Jake watched us play at a tournament at UVSC, and then the first time I watched him play here in St. George at the spring tourney over at the park. He amazed me then, but now...Olympic Glory. Wow. Nothing could compare. So everyone, cheer for team Gibb/Rosenthal. Here are their game times...yah, I guess we missed the first one.

August 10th at 7:00am, August 12th at 8:00am, and August 14th at 5:00am. (These are Utah times).

Party, my house for the game on the 14th. Everyone invited, you can come in your PJ's. hahaha J/K I really think I'll watch it though, so come over if you want.

UPDATE:
Ok, ok...so the times posted above are actual times that they play, but I've come to find out that they are not the times that the games are broadcast. So, just check your local listings to find out when you can see them play.
