Children in the Rain

Today the kids are out playing in the rain. I often wonder where things went wrong with me? Where did the playful Shana go? Am I so wrapped up in the "norm" of everyday that I have forgotten to have fun?
I decided to start a blog (thanks to the inspiration from Katie Mackelprang). So my friends and family can get to know me better as a person.
Not only can I blog about the funny things my kids do, but about my cooking, my husband, my family, and the memories I want to treasure forever.

Trace Hamming it Up in the Rain

Cason loves to play in the rain

My little boys!!
I love you all, and I hope that if you decide not to read this, at least I will have somewhere to vent, express my feelings, and record special memories.

Trace's 1st Day of Preschool

Trace's First Day of School - Preschool It was so much harder to drop Trace off at school. My little boy has been so excited to start school. He needs some friends, some socialization, and a good place to learn. I took Trace to school and had to stay an hour to make sure he was ok. He played with puzzles the first couple minutes. Sat on the rug after cleanup. Everytime some other child would touch him, he would move away. It was breakfast time, and I help his table pass around the food, and open their milks. After that I just sat back and watched to see how Trace would handle all the kids. He seemed to do just fine, just unsure about what they wanted him to do. After we cleaned up  breakfast, I stood back and he played with puzzles again. I told him I loved him and he said bye to me and I left. I was really worried about how he would do. Would he nap? Would I have the same problems as they did with Cason? Would he be easier or harder to handle? Come to find out, he did nap, and h...

Pickle Time

Image
Well I have had a bad day today. Between mean customers and only being able to see my Grandma and Grandpa Heintz for 45 minutes, I've got a headache and I'm irritated. I decided to can some pickles to ease my frustration. It always helps me feel better when I cook, bake, or can something.  I got my first crop of cucumbers today and was pretty proud of myself for canning 3 jars of pickles. (While cutting my finger on the slicer in the process). I hope these pickles turn out ok. I made a ton of pickles last year and I only got like 2 slices. People wanted to buy them by the jar full last year.  Grandma and Granda Heintz was driving from Idaho (they went to pick up Lilah to take her to Phoenix for school) and they wanted to stop by and see us. The original plan was that they were going to spend the weekend. Grandpa hurt his back and they are going to go home earlier then expected. I was glad I got to see them for at least an hour and visit. I just got off the phone with ...

Cason's 1st Day of Kindergarten

Image
Cason's First Week of School - Kindergarten So many mixed emotions for me. I took Cason to his first day of school and I  felt so sad to leave him there. He did great and is already learning so much. His teacher is Mrs. Christensen (Shelley is how I know her, she used to be my young women's teacher). I hope she is able to keep Cason in line. He has to have his mind constantly doing something challenging or he gets bored and gets into trouble. So far, so good. Lets hope he doesn't cause her too much grief this year! He wants to be a fire fighter Cason next to Vincent
