We're tired...


We had such a fun, busy Labor Day weekend...Jake's sister Jenn was in town with her family so it was party party starting Friday night with Strawberry Shortcake and Sierra and Kate's sleepover, Saturday swimming and burrito bar, Sunday Jenn's homemade cinnamon rolls and another Sierra and Kate sleepover, Monday breakfast of Champions :) at the ward breakfast (Ashton and I rode bikes to the park and back home, that was the highlight, FUN FUN!)BBQ and swimming at Nana and Papa's for lunch and then swimming and BBQ at Grammy's for dinner.
Today back to school and oh man it was not very good. Sierra was fine and then the mean girl just approached her to ask her if she felt ok today and Sierra started crying, then the mean girl proceeded to rub her back (huh?) Anyway, got her to class in tears but handling it. Then back down to Ashton in his class and I found him in tears. He cried, but trying to be brave. I sat with him while his class passed the ball and said good morning to each other and then told the class what "they did this weekend". Ashton told his class that he "played with his cousins". Then I needed to leave and he cried. I quickly got out of there because I felt like sticking around wasn't helping and I teared up too. I knew this day would come when it was really sad for me. :( His teacher told me when I picked him up that he only cried for 30 sec. to 1 min. and then he was fine the rest of the day. :)
I just have to remind myself "things will get better!"
Sierra ended up having a great day and we even put in an application for her to be in the new lds movie...here is one of her headshots. :)

She started CAC swimming today too!

Yowza, what a weekend! Sounds like you all had a BLAST - how FUN! I was kinda on the edge of my seat over the day at school... still a little turbulent, huh... but starting to turn out with smiles at the end - THAT was awesome to hear! And Sierra, what a pretty photo - good luck with the movie!
