Just as I finished reading it Brady walked into the room to ask me something and I had to take off for the bathroom so he didn't seem me crying! He always teases me that I'm so "emotional." Anyway....I think if we are being honest, most moms tend to expect so much from their first born. We're probably the reason that most first borns have type A personalities! I think kids rise above and I also think they are way more forgiving than we are. I'm sure you've seen this quote....but it is a good reminder......"There's no way to be a perfect Mom and a million ways to be a good one" You're a good one for sure!!! :) Your kids are so lucky to have you as their mom.Kerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10261448185892388252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5821703962726700908.post-44186986303943461122015-03-06T12:38:07.969-08:002015-03-06T12:38:07.969-08:00Holy crap Holly....these pictures are AMAZING!

I will be praying for him, for all of you. That is so scary! It's not even close to this, but a few years ago, we were in Iowa at Thanksgiving, and Kevin flew off a 4 wheeler right in front of me, as it rolled, and we spent the holiday in the ER. I know how scared I was then, so I can only imagine all that you guys have been through. This breaks me heart! I will be praying so hard! Please keep your chin up.

Yeah, right! <br />I love your pictures, the boys in their costumes, Red Ribbon Week {which i failed at miserably}, and your Nana is so cute.<br />I'm glad that you treated yourself to a day to just sit and read.<br />Oh girl, I was soaking up the story about the crazy mom who you got in a scuffle with. I was at the store the other day, and apparently me and another lady walked up to the line about the same time, but we were coming in from different directions, and so I was slightly in front. She says rather loudly, "I was in line before you, but since you have so few items I guess I will LET you go first". And I was all like, "oh no if you're gonna be rude and SAY it, you go first"! Then I stood in line, put on my sunglasses, and cried. lol. I'm a hot mess! People are so damn rude. I guess that is what hurt my feelings. Anyway, I'm laughing and relating to your story. I always love your stories Holly!<br />xoNicollehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02144472105892524890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5821703962726700908.post-57096263397715152292014-10-16T14:32:48.740-07:002014-10-16T14:32:48.740-07:00Great list Holly!

I teach a kindergarten class in the morning and then in the afternoon I have 5th graders....and oh how I prefer those sweet little kindergartners!!<br />Try not to worry about that handwriting. Hopefully it will get better...but my son's never has. It's actually awful....yet he's one of the smartest in his class. Handwriting/neatness has always been important to me but I've thrown in the towel on this one! We even joke about it when he gets his grade card...it's always the only bad mark he gets. <br />Sorry to hear about your brother moving....that stinks. :(Kerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10261448185892388252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5821703962726700908.post-70251783282675842702014-09-05T15:30:43.036-07:002014-09-05T15:30:43.036-07:00I love how you documented everything here.

I wish I had the words to make this easier for you but I don't. Just know that it will get easier and in about 3 years you will be having these same feelings again. Life is a series of lessons we learn too late.<br />When we are born we have to learn to sit up, roll over, crawl, walk and talk. Then start school, then leave school, then become wives or husbands, then moms or dads, and the lessons start all over again. We have to learn how to teach a wee one the same things. One day you will have to learn how to be the mother to an adult and, if you are real lucky, learn how to be a grand mother.<br />The circle of life continues whether we're ready for it or not. <br />I was wrong, it doesn't get easier! I now am trying to learn how to be an old woman!<br />Some people, 'live and learn'...I just live.<br /> <br />Love you <----------------------this much-------------------->to the moon and back<br />NanaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5821703962726700908.post-73662511649170229872014-08-18T08:30:28.378-07:002014-08-18T08:30:28.378-07:00Loved.

I've never wanted Boyd to be just like the other kids his age. I am a firm believer that it all happens in due time. We don't follow the latest trends either, I do enjoy a clean home, and secretly I loved my days when B was at school. <br />Boyd had one kid in his class who came in knowing 100 sight words, and I would secretly say, well good for ___! We don't, and I don't care.<br />It's all really good! I promise.

I've always said that if Bo...I love you friend.<br />I've always said that if Boyd grows up and wants to be a doctor or a realtor or a manager at a restaurant or a garbage man, I just want him to be the best one he can be. I want him to be kind and be respected. Then I will know I've done my job. As moms, we question how successful we are doing our job every single day. Believe me I have gone to bed crying more than I'd like to admit, because I should have been fired from my job as mom that day. <br />Kindergarten is so hard core these days. Boyd knew colors and letters and numbers, but couldn't read a lick going in, and now he is reading so well. So, don't worry about any of that, even though I know you and I....and we do worry. Maddox is so dang smart and will pick things up that will amaze you! They do expect a lot out of these little ones, but they teach them a lot too. It is so hard to let go just because it's the next step in their lives and in ours as a mom letting go just a tiny bit, but yes, God prepares your heart JUST IN TIME!<br />Just know you are doing it right. All of it. Failure is part of it, it's part of life. That means you're living it! <br />I think you have a pretty happy home, and anyone would love to be part of yours.<br />xoNicollehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02144472105892524890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5821703962726700908.post-76543702634685874892014-07-19T05:53:58.150-07:002014-07-19T05:53:58.150-07:00I always love your waterpark pictures.

Kevin told me and Boyd he had a surprise for us when we got home this week, and after seeing your puppy post on IG, my heart stopped thinking maybe it was a puppy. It wasn't! We have an outrageous deductible too, and it smarts every time something like this happens. I am sorry about the fracture, but I sure do love the way you tell the story.
