Kayla is starting the 8th grade... she literally grew up over night! She is so incredibly beautiful with her long dark hair, green eyes and no-nonsense attitude... I swear if the boys don't stop calling I just might lock her up somewhere! ;)She's trying out for the soccer team and the school play/musical this year. She is taking dance and cheer and after 4 years of playing the violin, has decided to move on to playing the cello! She is so incredibly outgoing! Kayla also is a morning person... she gets herself out of bed every morning at 5:30.. and NO, I'm not kidding! Not too many teenagers would ever think of doing that, especially on their own!
Kayla is quite the entrepreneur too... for a year now she has been kind of running her own babysitting business and doing really well. She pretty much pays for what she wants all on her own... I've tried to buy things for her, but she INSISTS on paying for things herself! I am so incredibly proud of her... and so lucky to have such a great kid!
Cammy is starting the 5th grade this year... she's going back to school looking like a completely different girl. After 10 years she finally gave up the "all one length hair" and let me give her some "long swoopy bangs" as she calls them. She also got glasses over the summer which made her look older instantly!She's beginning the flute this year and is already planning her art project for the reflections contest. Cam is an AMAZING artist! She is really into Anime Profiles and all sorts of Japanese cartooning... I won't be surprised if she becomes a very successful cartoonist someday.
Cammy is my mellow child... she's completely happy drawing or reading a book or conquering Monkey Ball on her DS... She is such a sweet girl!
Krystian just started 1st grade... I am SO sad!!! I've been home alone for 3 days now and while I've been busy, it just isn't the same at home without her! She is one sassy little girl! Apparently all of the girls in her class fought over sitting at the desk next to her!Krystian is taking dance and of course wants to be a cheerleader someday. I really don't know how I ended up with all of these girlie~girls! She lives in her pjs... it is a tun of work to convince her to actually wear clothes to school... and the first thing she does when she gets home... yep, you guessed it! She changes right back into her pjs! Her goal in life right now is to grow up and "be a mom just like my mom"... she melts my heart every times she says that! :)
As for me... well, after a five month search for a job I FINALLY got one! Funny thing is that it wasn't what I expected... meaning I wasn't really looking for it! I had been applying to design firms all over the valley and with the market being so bad, no one has any work to do and therefore isn't hiring! I had been going back and forth about returning to school and getting my teaching degree when an actual teaching job fell right into my lap! I'll be working at an elementary school in Murray... I'll be working mostly with children in the lower grades as a reading specialists, and also tutoring in math in the upper grades. Honestly I couldn't have asked for a better job! Obviously I'll be working school hours, so I'll be able to be home when my girls are home! I really feel so blessed and so lucky! I start on the 8th of September... I meet with the teachers, then start planning my curriculum for the year. If anyone would have told me a month ago that I would be doing this... I would have told them that they were crazy!!! I can't tell you how excited I am though... after such a long job search and feeling so defeated... I really feel like this is where I'm suppose to be!Sometimes things happen exactly as they should!
