getting there

I already mentioned that I am ready for everyone to go back to school.
  Well this week after schedule pick up and locker decorating for this 6th grader at one campus...
 and schedule pick up and locker decorating for this 7th grader at another campus...
 and meet the teacher for this new 3rd grader...
(This is his cute teacher, Mrs. Cobb) 
 and this SENIOR boy got his shipment of all of his crazy tshirts that he ordered.
(That is all he wanted for back to school shopping, 10 funny tees and a new pair of Sperrys to complete his collection.  (Teenage boys are WAY easier to get ready for going back to school than girls, just sayin'.) 
 And finally today we made the crazy huge Costco run for back to school lunches.
i
I think I'm officially ready.

Except now I need to help that college gal get ready for her departure date that is coming up in two weeks.  We bought the tix to fly her and Brent out  but there is alot still to do.

Wish me luck.

Glad ur blogging so much:) Even though I don't comment I am reading;) Way too hard to comment with having to type in the code words;)
Why are the girls at different schools? Is 6th not in Jr high in prosper? It looks like Jr high with the locker;)
The girls are looking so grown up!
And I agree that boys are way easier in the dressing department;) I can't believe Jensen is almost off to college!!!!

Amanda:

I love the look of your blog. You have made some changes. Cute pics!

The girls are at different schools because in Prosper they start Middle school in 5th grade but we have a campus for 5th and 6th grade and then a different campus for 7th and 8th.

We love that setup!

I enjoy reading all the goings on at the Whitley house too! I NEVER comment so you should know that I, like you, am a fan of the blogosphere but not the best at commenting.

Builders vs. Wreckers

Image
A little poem I heard from John Bytheway on a BYU fireside (on BYUTV) today. Makes me stop and go "hmmmmm....." I might have another resolution to add to my growing list..... Builders vs. Wreckers I passed one day through a lonely town And saw men tearing a building down. With a ho-heave-ho and a husky yell They swung at a beam and a side wall fell. I asked the foreman, “Are these men skilled- The kind you’d hire if you had to build?” “Oh no!” he chuckled, “No indeed- The common laborer is all I need.” “Why I can destroy in a day or two What builders have taken weeks to do.” I thought to myself as I went on my way “Which of these rolls have I tried to play? Am I the builder who works with care Strengthening lives by rule and square, Shaping my peers to a well made plan- Helping them do the best they can- Or am I a wrecker who walks around Content with the labor of tearing down?” -Author Unknown

Surprise McKinley!

A week ago, McKinley's best friend, Caty, texted me and asked if she could throw McKinley a surprise birthday party on her birthday.  The girls had been challenged by their Young Women leaders to do a 10 hour project for Individual Worth and she thought it would make a great project to plan a fun party for her! She invited 14 fun friends to join in on the surprise. I wish I would have taken the time to take a picture of the cute chocolate fountain and home made cupcakes she made.  She had blown up about 20 balloons and when McKinley walked in to the house they jumped out and showered her with shredded paper. Then they went swimming.  Yes, in November and NO, they had not heated the pool. kiki and  Lexie   with Emily  and Molly  and Mallory  and Kylie H.  and Kaly   the Lloyd twins and Abbey  Megan  Kaylie W.  Michaela  and Kylie P who had celebrated her birthday with a party the night before.
