All About the Argyles

John 14:2 6  But the  Comforter ,  which is  the  Holy Ghost , whom the Father will send in my  name , he shall  teach  you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. I had an experience this summer with the Holy Ghost helping me to remember something. There was a weekend in June that it hit me.  It hit me HARD.  Tanner graduated from High School, Seminary, and earned his Eagle Scout- all in one week- and I realized that my boy was leaving me in a few short months.  He was leaving for two years and I was REALLY going to miss him.   You should know that I am not a very emotional person - that's Brent role in our home. But suddenly I became VERY emotional at the thought of  not talking to  or seeing  or smelling  0r laughing at  or wrapping my arms around my son.   The more I thought about it, the more I couldn't help but ...

Well we have officially moved into the stage where we no longer have little wee ones.  We made it official by giving this away.  Im not sure if I'm sad or immensely happy about that.  Here is Reagan and I on a lunch date.  how Brutus spent his summer vacation...  August brought reunions with old friends,  saying goodbye to one of my best friends,  lots of back to school shopping with girlfriends,  cheer camp,   and , I have to admit, some heartbreak and tears,  The girls were able to go to the temple with the youth  (and then dessert afterward).  We got this fun picture from some friends who just happened to be on Tanner's flight as he was leaving for the MTC.  Small world, I tell you.  Got this cool text from a friend who saw my girls and their friends at Hawaiian Falls one day.  This is the stuff that makes a mother's heart smile.  We ...

8th grade boys beware!  Same to you 7th grade boys!  This crazy kid is starting 4th grade.  So glad he get to walk to school every day with 2 of his buddies. Lady killers is what these three are.  And once again, they're off!

For Reagan's birthday (she got the tix last March) and as a last bug hurrah to celebrate a fantastic summer, we went on a girl's trip to Houston for the One Direction concert.  It was 8 adorable teenager-ish girls and 4 moms. Love these three gals!  (I might have intentionally cut myself out of this photo.) My pals, Jenny, Sheri, and Heather.

Tanner's last day home started off at 5am when these two characters - the best friends a guy could ask for - showed up at the door with a big gulp in hand to bid Tanner goodbye.  What sweet boys.  I could tell it meant alot to Tanner.  We left the house at 5:45 to make sure we got to the airport on time.  Then we mad e aquick stop to chick fil a.  Tanner was too anxious to eat but I made him anyway.  Last minute pictures and lts of tears and goodbyes before he went through security.   And then I came home and saw this...his laundry basket.  And it really hit me that he wouldn't be back for two years.  Oh how I will miss him.
