First day of school!

Eisley wants her picture taken too

Can't believe my baby girl goes to school all day every day now. Before your first day of school you asked me to write a note to your teacher (which you decorated with sparkles and an abundance of glue) it said something along the lines of "Dear Ms. Hunsaker, You are so nice. I love you. I'm going to try real hard to learn and grow. I'm going to love school. Love, Kaybree."

She wrote me an email later in the day and told me what a doll you are and how much she loved the note! You sure do know how to make an impression!

You're not as excited about school now but you still never complain. You've also started cheer. Yesterday you wore an ASU cheerleader dress around all day and practiced your cheer moves in the back yard until you got too hot and came back in. You told me you're going to be a cheerleader when you get big so I guess we have that to look forward to.

We are all moved in to the new house and I am in LOVE! I just love everything about it. I painted everything and got to a point where I couldn't walk the Saturday we moved in.
I just love all the windows all over. We're struggling because we know we need blinds and window coverings but we love all the natural light and the view of the trees outside.

We still have a lot of work to do in the back yard but we're waiting till it cools down and the mosquitoes go away to do more. There are so many places to garden and trees to trim. I think we might build a shed which I think will be really fun. I can't wait till October when it cools down and we can spend hours and hours back there! We saw some photos from the previous owner (two owners ago) and the yard was GORGEOUS when they lived there. Wish they'd come back and garden for us so we can enjoy those flowers!

There's so much to do at the house that we've hardly had time to enjoy it. I do enjoy the busy-ness though.

So different

The older you get the more your different personalities are coming out. It's so fun! Kaybree has always wanted to be just like all the big girls she sees. You want to do what everyone else does and you fit right in! You go with the flow very well but you do your best to lead--while following. I know that doesn't make a ton of sense but basically you're the leader of the crowd. You follow everyone else but you don't let anyone step on you. You know you're the cutest thing around and you flaunt it a little bit. You pretend to be shy (because that's the cool thing to do) but you're excited to tell everyone all about your boo boos or the puppies you saw at the mall or anything else going on in your life. This week you started preschool and you were so excited. As soon as we got there you followed Teagan right inside, waving and calling goodbye to me as you went. No hesitation. You know what to do and you do it. You're attending Montessori House in Lehi f...

My biggest challenge

By
I’m a writer by trade. I’ve always wanted to be a writer. I love to put my feelings into words. Yet, in the last month, I’ve been having a very difficult time vocalizing what’s happening in my life. It’s not because it’s been sad or difficult or anything like that. It’s mostly because there is someone new in my life who I care very deeply for who I feel this deep need to protect. I want to protect his identity, his story, his life. I don’t want to overstep any boundaries or crush any trust. I recognize the life he has lived has not been easy and so I tread lightly on this relationship we’ve built. But honestly—it’s a fantastic relationship. He’s an amazing kid. I’ve been asked to write a blog post for an organization that helps recruit foster parents about the first few weeks of being a foster parent. I’m having difficulty deciding what to write. I feel like anything I write about my case probably won’t apply to their case so it’s not very helpful. I keep writing drafts and then...

Careers

"So I've got a friend, who I met at Frys. He's an older guy. He's got a car he wants to give me and soon he's starting a business so when I'm 18 and a half or 19 I think I'm going to move out and move in with him and work for him." "Doing what?" "I don't really know but he's going to have this business." "OK. Well, good luck with that. Get it in writing and get a title for the car." I walked away just shaking my head. Silently I thought "At least he didn't tell me he's going to become a rapper. He might as well though... A couple hours later I talked with him again. "OK, so I've been texting him and finding out more about this job." "OK." "So he's going to be a rapper. And he says we'll find something for me to do, something I'm good at. Something that will make me $1,000 a day and I can probably start doing it from home--maybe finding new beats online....
