Tanner started PreSchool and he really loves it. I was a little nervous for him, I didnt really know if he was ready but of course he proved me wrong. His teacher, Mrs. Julie who does have a last name but I cant even pronounce it so Mrs. Julie works allot better. We love her and Tanner just thinks she is the best. I worked in his class this week and its so awesome to watch your kids in a different environment. Tanner is so kind and a really sweet kid. He listens great, he pays attention and he always wants to help everyone. So I am going to ask Mrs. Julie to move in here so he will do the same thing at home. I will let ya know what she says, lol. But I am really proud of him he is turning into my little man. And look at this smile. The thing about Tanner is he does not hide a thing and he wont fake it either. If he doesnt want to smile for a picture, your better off just putting the camera away because you will just end up getting a picture of one pissed off little boy. But when he is happy and smiling, it is the truest most perfect smile in the world. I remember my Dad telling me that I wear my heart and emotions on my sleeve. I think this young man might be the same way.
Then my amazing lil football player. He IS amazing and I am at awe of how great he is. He is quick, smart, tough and such a great sport. As much as I love that he is so good at sports, I love even more that he is so encouraging on the field. Anytime anyone makes a good play or needs a pick me up, Tristen is right there cheering them on and telling them how awesome they did. I love, love, love that. You cant teach that to your kids, it has to come from them. And he is such a team player. He makes me smile every game and has grown up to be such an awesome kid. Last week he lost both of his front teeth and he was convinced that he could scare the other team with how mean and tough he looked, toothless. lol, I just love him.
Now is this one proud dad/coach or what?! I already raved about Thomas coaching but Im not the only one that thinks he is a great coach. So many parents have made comments about how great he is with the kids. He is also the LOUDEST and I dont know how he doesnt lose his voice every weekend. He has become a Clawson Maverick and we are both so happy with the choice we made to buy a house in Clawson. SUCH a great city to raise our monsters.

Cassidy is getting so big I cant stand it. I know she is a year old but she is my BABY and shouldnt be growing so fast- it's freaking me out.
The other night I was laying her down to go to bed- I still rock her to sleep- as I did with the boys and I thought to myself-Self, she really is old enough to go to bed by herself. But then I had a vision of all my babies grown up and not wanting me to lay down with them anymore. I got that big lump in my throat and disregarded the thought I had 2 minutes before that. I dont care if you think I'm spoiling them and I dont care if you think she is too old to still be rocked to sleep. That is what I am gonna do untill she tells me to leave her alone. Even if she is 16. I already know I will miss that amazing feeling of my babies cradled in my arms and holding my finger as she drifts off to sleep.
