?????

Well, it's been probably 9 months since my last post. Summer is half way over already, I can't believe it! We've been staying busy. Austin went on trek last week, he was run over by the cart/wagon he was pulling. They say it had probably 100 lbs on it, he was being watched over because all he sustained was  a little scab on his elbow and a bit of a sore leg. He was a real trooper. He had a great time. His birthday was on the day they left and so we celebrated it the night before. He's 15 yrs old, where is the time going?  Now he and Cameron are at scout camp all week this week. I only have the little ones at home and its been a lot quieter believe it or not. 
Cole will be in kindergarten this school yr, so I will be in the car the majority of the day. Kindergarten is the yr I kinda dislike in a way because you just drop your kid off and have to turn back around an hr later to go back and get them. Oh well, I'm having a bit of a difficult time grasping the fact that my youngest is going to be in school. It's crazy how attached you get to them being with you at home all the time. He's been my little side kick since Ashlyn started going to school and now I'm going to be all alone. I had a hard time when Ashlyn went to kindergarten too. It wasn't as hard sending Cameron and Austin though. I'm guessing its because I knew I still had two other little ones at home with me and so I wasn't alone. Now that Cole will be gone that just reassures me that my kids are growing up and getting older and so am I, (well the getting older part). I want to treasure my time I have with them. It's as President Monson said enjoy the hand prints while they're there (or something like that, can't remember exactly how he said it). I love being a mom though it's not always easy, it is such a blessing.
