Chesea's Going To...

The UNIVERSITY OF UTAH!! She finally made her decision after we visited up there last weekend. It was a HUGE decision for her. She REALLY wanted to go to UofA in Tucson because she really values her relationship with Chris and Amarie and wanted to be close to them. She is hoping they will move to Utah so she can still have that college help from Amarie. (Amarie has a degree in Chemical Engineering and is a GREAT motivator with Chesea. I'm not sure motivator is the right word, but anyhow, Chesea really looks up to her and believes Amarie will be a true asset in her college experience.)

I'm not sure when she will move up there, but classes begin August 24. How exciting!! GO UTES!

We're TWINS!

Paden and Porter are so much fun. They make our home a happy place. The other day I was talking to them about what they were going to do when I went to Salt Lake City with the girls. Porter said, "I want to play at Amy's house!" Paden piped in, "I want to play at Amy's house, too!" Porter looked back at Paden and said, "WOW, Paden! I want to, too!" So Paden exclaimed, "We're TWINS! Yay!" They grabbed each other in a big ole bear hug and jumped up and down shouting, "We're TWINS! We're TWINS!" Yep, it's the little things that make being a mom so rewarding!

Well, we'll give it a try...

Okay, so I have had this blog address for about a year. I just haven't figured it all out. I still haven't figured it out, but perhaps there is hope. I mean, my sister figured it out, so she can teach me, right??? I may need some serious help so my computer doesn't die a not-so-slow-and-painless death. (I'm not very patient when it comes to computers.) But my kids are so dog-gone cute that I want to share them with the world -- or at least my friends and family! Thanks for all your inspiration. You guys are so great!
