1st Day of Second Grade

I simply cannot sum up how I'm feeling...I guess, if you add excitement + nausea + a little of bit of pride = you get one teary eyed momma!

Malia is a full fledged public school student today. As a homeschooling mom, I am a little sad of what I will miss in her day, but I know for the season my girl is in right now, this is exactly what she needs. For now, my biggest decision is what type of cookie to have ready when she hits my front door...come on 4:00 p.m.!!!!

Finally Finalized!

Drew's Finalization 7/24/09

Yesterday we had the honor of making our Drew an "official" Horton and a U.S. citizen! The day was beautiful, we were surrounded by family, our social worker, and some guests from Korea. What a day! Drew didn't know what to make of it all, but he sure hammed it up as we were waiting for out turn! The judge was very kind and accommodating with our large (and loud!) party. Here are some pictures of our special day.

What a joy Drew is to our family. We cannot believe we are done, done! No more paperwork (unless you count our certificate of citizenship!) Our family is complete and it feels soooo good!

Once homeschool wrapped up, we decided to take a mini vaca to the meca of all things countrified. Silver Dollar City! We had a total blast. We had my amazing parents come along for the ride, make some memories...oh, yeah, and to be able to ride some roller coasters while someone feeds Drew & Cole some ice cream! Love you, mom and dad!

What have we been up to...in pictures!

If there is anyone still even looking at this blog....I have not fallen off the face of the universe. I am just knee deep in Momma Do's...sorry! We are all doing great and looking forward to our spring break. We will be hanging with family in Texas for the most part, and praying Drew likes the pack and play! Crossed fingers! Here are a few pictures that have been on my camera for weeks now...enjoy! and Happy Spring Break!!!

Drew walking..



My goodness, this boy is pure SUGAR! This video is of him first thing this morning. He's been walking around like this for a while now, but my video camera is always in another room and he WILL NOT let me get up and go somewhere without him without huge tears ruining the moment.

My little sis and her husband live out of state and I wanted to post this for them...we miss you guys horribly. Give your babies some love for us!!!

Skate Date with the Kids!

Valentines Day, Chad and I decided to take Malia and Cole ice skating at the BOK arena and boy, oh boy, did we have fun!

The wonder and amazement as you watch your child try something new is such a gift from the Lord! Sure they had a few spills, but as we were leaving they both were saying that they couldn't wait to try it again.
