The Lyrics hit home!

She was staring out that window, of that SUV
Complaining, saying I can't wait to turn 18
She said I'll make my own money, and I'll make my own rules
Mamma put the car in park out there in front of the school
Then she kissed her head and said I was just like you

You're gonna miss this
You're gonna want this back
You're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fast
These are some good times
So take a good look around
You may not know it now
But you're gonna miss this

Before she knows it she's a brand new bride
In a one-bedroom apartment, and her daddy stops by
He tells her It's a nice place
She says It'll do for now
Starts talking about babies and buying a house
Daddy shakes his head and says Baby just slow down

'Cause You're gonna miss this
You're gonna want this back
You're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fast
These are some good times
So take a good look around
You may not know it now
But you're gonna miss this

Five years later there's a plumber workin' on the water heater
Dog's barkin', phone's ringin'
One kid's cryin', one kid's screamin'
She keeps apologizin'
He says they don't bother me
I've got 2 babies of my own
One's 36, one's 23
Huh, it's hard to believe

But you're gonna miss this
You're gonna want this back
You're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fast
These are some good times
So take a good look around
You may not know it now
But you're gonna miss this
You're gonna miss this
Yeah, you're gonna miss this

I was driving by myself tonight when this, one of my fav' songs came on...I don't remember the last time I cried, let alone got teary eyed! and there it went as I listened to these words... Life goes by too fast and sometimes I feel like I AM missing out even when I'm right in the moment...I need to enjoy every second! Because this song is a LITTLE too TRUE!!!!!!!

FiRSt DAY!

Day ONE: Peyt woke up just before 7, bags under his eyes, you could tell he was tired, but he was SOOO excited so he was up and ready to go! I told him to just come downstairs while I ran and then we'd go up and get him ready. He scooped up his clothes off the bed and said "Nope, I can get in the shower by myself." He headed in the bathroom, shut and locked the door and I heard the water turn on. It was actually really cute! He was taking charge and didn't need me. so then I took Peyt to school and walked him over to where they line up, LIKE ALL THE MOMS, but you could tell he was totally embarrassed of me. I was taking pics and just soaking in the moment of my baby Peyt being big enough for Kindergarten!

Finally after some picture taking, Peyt says "Mom! No more! You can go now. Leave" In somewhat of a nice voice :) That day he came home a totally different boy. He had a meltdown. I felt so bad for him. He said he didn't like school. BUT then his friend Jaxon came over and when I asked if he liked it, they both said it was awesome! So there is for some friend upliftment :) Oh ya, and he had cash in his pocket to pay for lunch, so after school I asked if he got change back and he said "I didn't have to pay, they didn't make me." haha Well the lady must have not asked for his money, but let him through the line and sure enough he was negative in his lunch account when I set it up later. haha
DAY TWO: Peyt is afraid to ride the bus, he doesn't wanna get lost, even though I offered to show him exactly where to go. He is the sweetest little guy! Today he wanted me to make him a home lunch, because of yesterday, he didn't want to have the lady just let him through without paying. and later, it was brought to my attention from good ol' Brax he had a hard time at lunch, I had Peyt explain and he said they made him put his lunch box in a box while he went to recess.I had told him to keep track of it, so he told me he was afraid they would lose it, and he just wanted me to be there. He was so sad, and got teary eyed just telling me about it. Talk about one sensitive boy. It seriously breaks my heart.... I love him so much and hate to see him frustrated or already struggling. Even though they warned us that this happens more often with them learning chinese it didn't make it better that all night he told me he doesn't want to go to Kindergarten anymore, that he doesn't like going all day and being inside. I KNOW this is part of growing up, but I also know how much my heart aches to see my 6 yr old so sad with tears in his eyes, just asking for me to cuddle with him in bed and not leave. I hope tomorrow is a better day for my little boy! :(
We went to DRew's open house at the Tiffiny's Flower Box. I had heard such good things about it, people LOVE It, but when we went, I just got that pit feeling in my stomach. It made me sad, cuz I'm supposed to be so excited for Drew. But he wasn't excited either. EVEN though he gets cousins and friends in his class! On the way home he said "I just wanna stay home "wif" you mom." and I'm tempted to do just that. I wanna enjoy my little guy. It's been so fun spending this quality time with him while Peyt is at school. and honestly I don't wanna give him up for 2 days a week :(
Cute Beckham that didn't wanna be in the pic :)
and little Kinlee...I'm going to soak up even more the time of having her at home. It goes by way too fast! and today maybe it's hitting me that these kids of ours aren't staying little forever. I'm not ready to let them go. It's hard. Maybe too hard. Here's to hoping tomorrow is a better day!

}SuMMeR FuN{

This was Peyts last week of Summer before starting school tomorrow, so we wanted to try and enjoy every last free minute! and we did!
Suppose to be face painting, but looks like they had other plans in mind! haha
Peyt wanted to paint my arm! nice :)
I thought Kinlee's little arms were cute, she sat like this for a bit looking so concerned.
YEA, FINALLY! A front runner ride to Salt Lake!

to play in the Fountains! I can't believe almost 3 hours flew by before we knew it!
Cute Peyt, so sad he is going to be in school!

A surprise from Grandpa Bruce! He even played in the fountains, trying to dodge the water.
and Grandma took Kinlee out for a bit.
WET boys!

SiLLy BOYS!
First Soccer practice of the season!
So...we went old school style and found CHEESECAKE on our FIFTH TRY!!! haha They were glad! :)
Thanks DAd, Brenna and Peyt for a fun ice cream adventure! Only took about an hour to find the right flavor :) Should've went with dads FIRST instinct! Next time...
"Mom, I have chocolate on my face?"
Getting ready for our picnic! Drew dressed himself. When Hadlee got to our house he said, "Hadlee, I like your dress. Look at my shirt." haha She wasn't too interested. They are so stinkin' cute!
Can't leave out miss Kinlee!

HALLOWEEN IN AUGUST?!?! haha I got a surprise visit from these characters! haha Peyt and and Drew had a blast playing and dressing up with their friends.
Can't forget about my girls night! This is Darci's painting skills...turned out AWESOME! Yes, she still had to take the polish off of her fingers, but how cool is that?!? Thanks for the idea Jamie!
And after almost 3 hours, this is how far the movie got! haha Guess we loved our chatting time too much :)
Go Misty with her flare too! I wasn't an expert so much! :)

and off to Peyts first game! He scored a goal AND they were so happy cuz they won! like 5 or 6 to 0! With a team name like "Deadman" how could they not be so awesome! haha
Little Buddies! So lucky to have such awesome neighbors!
One of Peyts items on the list before going back to school was the drive in! So off we went! to see Spy Kids and Smurfs. Not gonna lie, I fell asleep during them both...too many late nights and early mornings caught up to me. But we had lots of fun and it was really nice to spend time with just our little family, kinda glad it worked out that way.
My hot hubby and cute Kinlee! She did awesome, fell asleep about 9:30 and stayed asleep!
Well, now here we go for the start of reality on Monday. Back to school and Peyt being gone till 1:30 :( I really am sad. and Drew to soon start his preschool too! Hope you have all had a fun summer too!

Roy Pool Time

My dad and his fam were nice enough to have us join them for their ward swim night! It was lots of fun but went by TOO fast! Thanks Dad and fam for the invite!
Obviously this wasn't from swimming. Drew has had the crappiest cough, but the other day it got worse. We got him some medicine and it's seemed to help. But today I asked if he would lay down so maybe he'd be up for going swimming tonight. I made him a little bed on the couch, he layed down and fell RIGHT asleep and slept for a good hour and a half! But he still wasn't in the best mood for swimming :)
He did enjoy the slide though!


Peyton thought he wasn't going to make it out of this pool alive when coming down the slide. He was so hilariously cute about it!
Thanks Shan for helping with Kinlee so much! She's always so taken care of by so many that love her! Thanks for making it so I could play! :)

My cute hubby that wasn't about to get out of coming with us! :)
and I made him take a pic with his bike...might be the last one! He's TRYING to sell it :)
Cute Drew Drew!!!
And Mr. Peyter Peyt!
