Today my Favorite Three went off to their first day of school.
Gavin is now the tallest 3rd grader at Sunset Elementary. We were...by some miracle...able to get him into Mrs. Lana Beck's class...who is the BEST 3rd grade teacher...and is in HIGH demand. He is also lucky to get to have one of his best cousins GRANT in his class. We are expecting great things this year...hopefully no pink slips, no fighting, no detention, no calls from the principal or school counselor...we are keeping our fingers crossed! He is already scoping out the ladies to see who will be willing to take sweet Abby Anderson's place!
Savanna is once again pretending to be the "shy" girl. I believe she thinks she is cuter when she is shy...and probably gets more attention...which she seems to be in desperate need of the past few days! Her back pack is only half her size, completely empty, and weighs almost as much as she does. She is very excited "to be as popular and perfect as she was in her old school".
Brent also started school today...FOUR years of Commercial Plumbing TECH School...Two nights a week for 4 hours a night. He is NOT excited at all...and that is an understatement!!
His big first day lasted exactly 32 minutes...a classroom full of white trash, poligs, and dropped f-bombs...is what he has to look forward to! YIKES!!
He is trying hard to put on a happy face, a supportive husband/dad face, a "good in the long run" face. We appreciate his hard work...both in school and at work. We appreciate all that he already provides for us...and we don't need four years to show us he is FANTASTIC!!
I had the HONOR and absolute JOY of watching him give our children their FIRST father's blessings last night before school. We are grateful for a grandpa who has been willing and able to provide this for us in the past and we will always cherish those blessings... but watching Brent last night filled my heart with confirmation that he was sent to us for a divine purpose...Heavenly Father gave him to us to help us make our way back home to Him. Brent is everything this family lacked...he is TRULY..."OUR EVERYTHING"!!

I'm so happy that Brent is able to bring the priesthood into your home and that he is being such a good husband and father. He is also very very lucky to have you and your sweet Gavin and Savanna.
We love and miss you guys very very much!

It brought tears to my eyes when I read of Brent's Father's blessing to the kids. It didn't take him long to get into the family mode. It just proves that Heavenly Father had a plan in uniting your family together. Thanks Brent, for being a worthy Priesthood holder.
