So I know I should be better about blogging and pictures and all that stuff, but...I'm not. I am just going to face that fact now and then maybe I won't feel so guilty about it!!

School is back in full force! Jayden is in 7th grade this year at Evergreen Jr. High. She is LOVING it. After only a few days of school she came home and told me she was going to run for 7th grade class president. Yikes!! All my junior high memories came flooding back and I wanted to scream...don't do it! After talking it over with some friends, she decided she would run for secretary. (She had some other friends that were running for president and vice.) Well after much stress on my part to come up with the perfect slogan and skit, we got it all worked out and...drumroll.....she won! She was so excited but has since found out that many of the boys voted for her "because she was hot". Junior high has been super fun for her this year, more boys, more friends, more fun!!!

Coleman is in 3rd grade. He has a great teacher, Mrs. Draper and is in the same class with many of his good friends. He is so glad to be back at Rosecrest! He loves walking to school with his good friend Annalisa, and even gets to walk home with her on Monday and Wednesday. He has started Kung Fu and LOVES scouts. He sometimes has trouble with all of these sisters but I think he loves them. (Most of the time!)
Chloe is in both of my preschool classes. Our morning class is a little crazy, but our afternoon class is really calm. Chloe has made lots of friends in each of our classes. So the other day Chloe had some letters out and had spelled M O P. She said "look mom! Look what I spelled!" I said, "Cool, mop." She said, "Oh I was trying to spell, OMGosh!" I tell you, we are in for trouble with that girl!!!

Annabelle is growing so fast! She is almost 8 months, but has yet to crawl. (YEAH!) We are hoping to get a few more weeks before she takes off. She needs to be the center of attention and doesn't like to be left alone for even a few minutes. (One more reason why I never get anything done!) She has had several kidney infections so is scheduled to get some more tests done to find out if she has any kidney damage or anything wrong down there. She gives the best kisses (the slobbery kind) and she loves her siblings. Except for the time when Coleman was going to the Utah football game and had his face painted red and white. Coleman walked in the room and Annabelle FREAKED out. She wouldn't stop crying until he had left the room. Halloween is going to be interesting with her!
For those of you that don't already know, I had a scare a few weeks ago. After my classes one day, the left side of my face and arm started going numb. I went to the doctor thinking it was bells palsy and left with an appointment for an MRI. Long story short, they don't know what is causing it yet, although I have an appointment with the neurologist later this month. Hopefully we can find some answers!!
