If Tomorrow Never Comes.....

If tomorrow never comes, I would be happy. Tomorrow is the first day of Kindergarten for our Adam. Where does the time go?! I have been dreading this day for 5 years. I can only imagine what a mission is going to do to me. He is so excited though, and that makes it a little bit easier. I swear this picture was taken only a couple of months ago! They grow up so fast!
Mommy and Adam (May 2007)
Last Thursday, Adam went to his new school and met his teacher. He will be in Mrs. Hales class and she will be wonderful! Adam did some testing and she was impressed with how well he did and how much he already knew. She said he was the first student she had who knew how to write his first and last name!
Tonight was our big "Back to School Party". Since it is Adam's big day, he got to choose the menu. We had some of his favorites, taco's and Shirley Temple's.
Tess was just happy to have soda!

He ate 3 tacos! We have a growing boy on our hands!
After dinner we went over some instructions that Mrs. Hales sent home for the students and parents to read. Then we gave the kids their new school year presents. Adam got a new backpack and both kids got new school supplies.


Tessa got a princess backpack for her birthday from Ma and Pa. She is really disappointed that she doesn't get to go to Kindergarten with Adam.
He is ready to go!
Daddy helped him sharpen some new pencils.
I told Tessa to look at the camera. She had to look through one of the holes on her bucket.
I have had this cake on file for years waiting for this momentous occasion! The kids thought it was fun to eat a pencil for dessert!
Adam had an assignment to complete before the first day of school. We had to make a collage of things that make him a super kid! He included building legos, playing baseball, playing dinosaurs (he knows the names of almost every dinosaur...most of which I still can't pronounce), and racing cars!
After a father's blessing, pajama's, brushing teeth, and family scriptures, Mommy read a book called "The Night Before Kindergarten". He loved it!
Eric laughed at me tonight when I refused to pray for family prayers because I knew I would cry. I will have plenty of tears this week I am sure. Doing this while pregnant isn't helping!
Our lives are about to change forever.
Kindergarten, here he comes!!!
