HE IS IN

This last weekend we had parent teacher conferences with all three of the kids teachers. I knew that things were going fine in all their classes( I try and volunteer, at least once a week in each of their classes) So anyway, I have the chance to talk to their teachers on a regular bases. I went to Brooklyn's P.T. conference and was able to see ( on paper) how much her reading has improved) She is doing so well , and I am so happy for her.She is getting to feel success, and it suits her. So, as we were getting ready to go I went to get something from the office. The principal just happened to be there and as I walked in she got this big grin on her face, and started singing, " I know something you don't know" ( this lady is great, I love her.) She then proceeds to tell me that what we have been waiting for is finally going to happen. Porter, is in . He made it into the school !! I am telling you, people 5 miles away heard me scream. We are all so happy. All 3 kids at one school.

So anyway, Porter had his first day today. I was more scared for him, than he was scared. I ( like always, being overprotective) wanted to make the transition as smooth as possible. We had somewhat prepared him for it already. We had made sure he had met the teacher, seen the classroom, and even met a few of the kids. I don't know what I was expecting ( maybe a few tears) this morning as I walked him into his new class, but all I got was" I'm good Mom, I love ya, see ya later."A quick hug and kiss on the cheek later he was arm in arm with is teacher and one of the boys in his class. Normally I think I would have been a little sad, but in this case I was so happy. Just as I was leaving I heard Porter tell the class, " I've been waiting to get here forever, and now I am finally here." He had them all laughing , his teacher had a full on belly laugh going on. Made me feel great!!


O.K. that was not the only thing that happened this weekend. For starters, Derrick took the day off on Friday, so that we could celebrate my birthday. I had such a great time with him. We went out to lunch, and did some shopping. The best part is just to be able to sit and talk . I absolutely LOVE spending time with Derrick. We have so much fun together. We laugh A LOT !!
Saturday, Derrick went to the Boise State game, and I finished getting ready to feed the Bishops and their wife's as well as the High Council. Derrick got home just in time to pick me up, and we headed over to the church to get things going. I think it went well, other than we forgot about our gluten free sisters ( sorry) Next year, we will be better prepared.
That night we had the adult session of stake conference. Grandma and Grandpa Legg watched the kids while we attended the meeting, and they got to go to their most favorite place to eat ( Golden Corral)

Sunday was great as well. Stake Conference, and my Dad came for dinner. My Mom is in California with my sister ( Nen) who had her baby boy , Trent, 1 hour and five minutes to late. She had him November 6th at 12:05 a.m. I told her that if she had him on my birthday, she would have to name him after me. I think that is why she held out another hour. He is such a cute little boy. I figured out how to copy the pictures she sent , and post them. ( She can be taught)

Let's see. Audra got a new 7th grade home room teacher. She was a little nervous ( it is a man teacher) But after she met him, and was able to talk to him and get to know him a little better, she was at ease.

Brooklyn had a field trip this morning. We went to Borah high, and watched a one man show on the life of Michael Angelo) They covered up all the " parts" in his nude sculptures and painting , but I am glad I had talked to Brooklyn before hand, and I am sure I will have some explaining to do after school. We had a good time, and she seemed to be O.K. with the whole "human body as art"

I am off to get the kids, have a great week. Remember that you are loved , and that I am thankful for all that you do.
