Here are my three kids getting ready for the fall picture day at school. I was really proud of the boys because they both wanted to wear ties to school. The removed them after pictures but at least they wore them for pics. Jonah has a black backpack and told me this morning with his tie and backpack that he looks just like a missionary. I only wish that the missionaries of the world would know of the impact that they have on young people in the wards where they serve. The kids also got their first progress report for this school year. We will work on things with each child.

Kristianne is getting ready for her trip to 6th grade science camp. It is in 2 weeks and I think she is really excited but I feel nerves. I know that she needs to grow up but this is the first time that she will have gone to a camp of any kind and I'm worried. I know that the teachers that are going are amazing and will take good care of her but it is just that I won't be there. I guess I should just tell myself "Suck it up, cupcake."

Noah is also learning much. He is struggling with writing, not that he can't write it is just that when he takes a timed test he starts to freeze up and doesn't do as well. I know that it just takes time to learn your best stragedy for test taking. I will be here to support him and help him do is very best as always.

Jonah is loving going to school. We are trying to get him to just use capital letters at the correct times. In his progress report it says that he is below grade level because he uses all caps to write his sentences. He is also the only left handed kid in his class. It is sometimes easier for him to write in all caps. I know that he will get it in time but really do the teachers need to put him below basic levels just because of that. Give me a break.

Tom is still working and camping in San Diego. We are all trying to save money up so that we can get a place together. I know that my kids need to spend time with their dad. We have been waiting for The City of Upland to make their decision regarding our appeal for wrongful termination. We should know by the 20th of this month the ruling.

I am really trying to find my place in the world. Now that I'm not working I have been helping a friend of my with her online store. I have been learning how to imput all the info for her so that she can sell things. It has be a challenge and quite satisfying because I have figured out so much by myself.

Well here is the Guymon family in a nut shell. I will keep updating...
