Aniah goes to Kindergarten

Our youngest child/daughter has started kindergarten! Alton and I thought we would love having the whole day to ourselves with all 4 children in school, full-time now, but we really miss having a little one at home. Aniah is a leader, very brave, bold, independent, and outgoing, so she was happy to start school full time. On the first day of school we noticed other children crying and not wanting their parents to leave, but not Aniah, she kept saying "bye Mom and Dad!" Alton and I didn't get or take the hint and we lingered around for awhile. Lol! I feel very accomplished as a mother because I've been so blessed to be able to stay home and raise all of my kids. But I must admit, I was very emotional. After finally leaving Aniah with her new teacher and classmates, Alton and I attended the "Boo Hoo Breakfast" hosted by the PTO for parents of kindergarteners. They actually had a raffle for a spa gift card and I won!...I couldn't believe it, because I never win anything, but after a very emotional morning I headed right to the spa. Lol! We feel blessed that Aniah loves school and we pray that Aniah will be a successful student just like her siblings.

Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.

Our Family Vacay 2012

For our family vacation we headed south...to Mexico! Alton and I honeymooned in Cancun, but the kids had never been to Mexico. Needless to say they had one of the best times of their lives and it was nice to have the resort all to ourselves. Please enjoy the photos of our family "vacay."
