My Baby goes to Kindergarten!

My youngest child has started kindergarten! I have a gamut of emotions that come along with this day in history. Sadness that my baby is indeed growing up, but joy and happiness that my Heavenly Father has givin me the blessing of being this sweet little person's mommie and the opportunity to watch him grow from infant to this wonderful stage in his earthly life. He is such an example to me and helps remind me on a daily basis that I have so much to be thankful for.

1st morning of kindergarten!
Posing for the infamous 1st day of school picture!

He found his cubby!

Playing with playdough until everyone arrives!

One of the awesome things about Nolan's class is that his best buddy Carter is also in it! Another bonus is that Mrs. Adams is his teacher and she was also Kami's kindergarten teacher! She is an amazing woman with lots of patience, love, and kindness to share! Kami came out of kindergarten reading like a 2nd grader and I give all the credit to Mrs. Adams!

A plus of having older siblings is that they pave the way for you in that all the people know you and are excited to have yet another Yantz kiddo! Mr. Rex and Ms. Mary have been in our lives for quite some time now and it makes me feel very secure knowing that they are transporting my little guy to and from school safely! (it also helps to give them brownies regularly!)

It's official...gotta move!

This may seem little to the normal person....but I am so UNNORMAL when it comes to my phobia of snakes!

As many of my family and friends know........I abhor snakes! Well, Tim was out mowing the lawn(with a 3 wheeled mower i might add, but that's a whole other post!), and he comes to the back door to tell me he has a little surprise for me! He then procedes to pick up this horrid creature and tell me it was in MY back yard! We have been living here for almost 6 years and have came across many creatures.....frogs,rabbits,slugs,mice,roley poley's and the like BUT, never this vile creature! So the only solution to this problem is moving! I can't even go outside now without getting the heebee jeebies! In my own home! Outrageous! Unbelievable! I don't think my solution will pass, but I can only hope and pray that there will be no more of the disgusting,evil creatures!
