A BOY IS

TRUTH with dirt on his face,

BEAUTY with a cut on his finger,

WISDOM with bubble gum in his hair,

and theHOPE of the future with a
frog in his pocket.

LITTLE GIRLS

Little girls are made of daisies and butterflies and soft kitty cat purrs

And all the precious memories of times that once were.

Little girls are made of angel's wings and giggles and a firefly's glow

And all the happy feelings, deep inside, that we all know.

Little girls are made of cinnamon and bubbles and fancy white pearls

And snowflakes and rainbows and ballerina twirls.

Little girls are made of sunshine and cupcakes and fresh morning dew,

And these are the reasons, little one, why everyone loves you.

Walk through - high school

Today was Nic's 1st day of high school ~ Kinda.

It was a walk through day. The bus picked them up they had an assembly and walked through their day and came home on the bus.

The only hiccup was the bus. Seems that the bus didn't pick them up but thanks to someone at the bus stop calling the school 2x the bus came back, found the kids and away they went.

Nic Loved school! He came home so excited about the technology, the laptops, the science labs and the excitement that his teachers had for the year of learning to come ~ it has invigorated him! He said his teachers are young (His Spanish teacher reminds him of his aunt Kelly) and he is so excited to learn what they have all just learned in college! Their excitement was contageous!

He also met kids in the neighborhood and in his classes and is excited to look into joining some clubs and maybe track.

I am just so happy he is excited for High School!

I was also finally able to register him for seminary. It took about 4 phone calls to very nice Bishops and finally 1 smart Bishops wife who told me to try calling the Stake Center. And Ta-Da! He's registered and will go to the church on Bella Vista at 6am starting the 27th for seminary, the school bus will pick them up there and drive them to school.

And now we wait until Monday, July 20th for the 1st Official Day of High School and it is also the day that Nic turns 14! I can't believe it!

We saw some of the kids waiting forever this morning as well as a bus that clearly didn't know what it was doing. Hopefully they've got these hiccups worked out before the first real day of school!

I'm glad he's so excited! I hope it is a very good year for him. (And just think, no chance of getting that Combs Spanish teacher again.)

Nic was probably on of the kids you saw on Verbina and Wildflower Crt. They called twice and then had to stand in the middle of the road and wave down the bus! :) The poor driver had a bad map and was unfamiliar with the area! Hopefully Mon. will be fine!
