Turtle's First Day of Kindergarten

Turtle and his best friend Finny goofing off (notice that they sit next to each other, for now)

All ready with his back pack!

Waking up nice and early!

I know it's been a while since I've posted but it's been a little bit hectic in The Beller Family! Turtle started Kindergarten on Aug 25th! He was so excited that he practically skipped to school! Jay and I are so proud of our little boy! He has had a great first two weeks! He is loving it and doing very well! Keep of the great work!

XOXO

Mommy!

Rocket Launching with my boys!

5, 4, 3, 2, 1...

Look at my Belle along for the blast off

I cannot believe how BIG he is getting

All the tools necessary for a good time!

Jay and Turtle went to the hobby store today to build model rockets. Once they got home Turtle helped build his but when it came time for Daddy's he wasn't interested...
Somehow I got wrangled into going a mile into the desert to assist with the detonation! Turtle, Belle, Jay and I all had a really great time! We're hoping tomorrow the wind will die down a bit and we can go again...maybe a better location! ; )

Thanks Jay for doing things like this with Turtle...someday he'll remember when and tell his kids about this! You really are an amazing husband and father!

Another Day In The Beller Family

I was looking at another blog today and was inspired to share more about me...Today has been a rough day. Work was the usual, not too bad considering. However, my home life sometimes leaves a lot to be desired. My mother in law is going through a divorce after being married for 31 years. I can't imagine how hard it is...on the same hand, I can't imagine not moving forward. I love her to bits but sometimes I can't relate to someone who has no drive to move her life in a positive direction.
My Uncle's Dad (who is basically a Grandpa to me) is having a major heart surgery tomorrow...I'm really worried about him and his wife. I know this is hard on everyone in the family...especially my Uncle.
I just got a call from my mother in law that a friend of the family killed themself last night...I have to ask myself, is it ever that bad?
Jay and I have personally known MANY people that have committed suicide...it's so hard for everyone around!
Sorry to be such a bummer...tis my life these days! :(

Mud Run 05.23.2009

Okay, so my friend Mike told me about this "Mud Run" in a few days...needless to say, I signed up with my crazy friend Holli and WE DID it! It was so much fun! It was between 4 and 5 miles with multiple obstacles (hay bales, balance beams, mountain climb, wall scale) and the grand finale was a mud pit! It was a blast! Our finish time was somewhere in the neighborhood of 1 hour 10 minutes...not too bad! :) After, the kids were able to do a mini version and they were called "Mud Puppies"...Turtle and I did it and he LOVED it! There is another one in October that Jay and I are going to do together...can't wait!

Mother's Day...The BEST

I'm the happiest Mommy ever!

I awoke to my kind of breakfast in bed...Dunkin' Donuts...YUM-O

Turtle and Daddy had beautiful cards for me along with some gift cards that I can't wait to spend! ;)

We spent the morning at the park and then had some relaxation at the Schnip's pool! The best gift of all was a day with my boys! Turtle also learned how to swim without his life vest! YEAH!

Turtle,

Words can never express how much I love you...THANK YOU for making me a mommy! I wish you nothing but God's greatest blessings in life! I love you!

XOXO

Mommy!
