So- I'm feeling pretty good- house is clean, I'm dressed with full hair and make up and guess what people? Most of you are not even up yet! That's right! It's 9 am here so it's 7 there and ....
so there!
It's not too bad once you get going but... seriously! We are in the swing of things here, all the kids are now bus riders- which is nice since all 3 go to different schools! Tays' bus comes at 6:40, Parkers next at 7:05 and then Kenz at 8:25. Parker got kicked out after his first week. Well, not that bad but.. the school he started at doesn't have a special education program but they wanted to see how he would do, even though WE knew it would not last. He was miserable because he is not used to the rigors of "normal" class work. So the lady at the school who deals with kids with special needs asked us if she could meet with us and have a committee set up so that we could talk about Parkers needs. WOW!! We showed up and so did 8 other people including the principals from Vickery Creek (first) and Sawnee ( current). We were really impressed and they really seemed to have Parkers needs first on their list. They were not impressed with the services provided to him in Utah ( sorry) but back home Parker got 20 min a week of speech because the district shares Speech Therapists. His school here has 6- ya you heard me-6 full time on site speech therapists! We are excited to see how he grows and hope that his speech will come. He is really liking his new school and class and I'm sure within no time- he will once again be the B.M.O.C.( Big Man On Campus)
The girls are happy- making lots of friends, and really seeming to flourish in their schools. Kenzie has jumped right in and has been doing better with the whole move. Jetta has made some doggie friends of her own, and Adam and I are happy that we are all here together, and that he is working.
I don't know about you all, but this whole economy mess really scares me! I pray that each of you will feel Heavenly Fathers love, that each of you will continue to be blessed and that you will have the strength to get through whatever may come your way. Love and hugs- Shannon
By the way- hope the new tunes get you in a dancing mood!

About Me
- Shannon
- Adam and I have been married now for 14 years! To make a long story short- we met at the end of June, had our first date on July 4th, and were married on Sept 1, 1995. All I have to say, is "it was in his kiss." Adam is now a regional manager with Vita-mix. It has been a great blessing to have him here at home so that he can witness his children doing and saying all the fun things they do. We love where we live, but really do miss living close to both our parents and siblings. We have so much fun when we are all together and I am so lucky to have 4 fun loving wonderful sister in laws,lots of friends and 4 amazing BEST friends to hang out with. I know many of you will find this shocking but one of my best friends is my mother in law! I know that I can call on her at any time just to share a good laugh. She has given me the best thing a woman can give away- her son. I know- grab the tissue, I'll wait. Seriously- I love life and above all I am so grateful to know that MY FAMILY IS FOREVER!

I am so excited for Parker and his new school! What a blessing to be able to have the attention of on-site specialists! I can't believe that Taylor has be on the bus so early. That must be tough! We sure miss Taylor in Primary. Our class size has dwindled drastically in the last two months. Glad to hear all is well in the land of Georgia!
I am glad you guys made it! It's awesome that Parker will have more one-on-one attention there. :)
It sounds like you are back in the swing of things. Good news about the opportunities for Parker, that is awesome. The neighborhood is different without you guys but we are so happy for you to be together and living the life! Take care!
Hey Chicka, sorry i had to cut u off earlier...duty calls ya know, just got home and gettin' all caught up on my bloggin'...
I'm glad you guys are gettin' into the swing of things.. i am so glad for Parker, you knew Utah was the worst, as far as his education was concerned tho.. I am so glad he will finally get the special attention he needs! YAY PARKER!! watch out for the B.M.O.C!!! Pam came in and told me about the "hot air balloon story" I wish you could bottle that stuff, it's priceless! I'm glad Kenz and Tay are adjusting to the move, I didn't really worry about Tay, coz shes pretty much up for anything, but I am so, SO glad Makenzie is adjusting well. Give the kids all a hug and kiss for me, and tell them I luv their guts and miss them HUGE!!! oh yeah and tell Kenz she can text or email me too, whenever she wants!! (i dunno why T is getting emails from her, but HELLO im the fun one REMEMBER?!... lol) oh yeah and tell Adam, thanx for nuthin, then smack him around a little... just so he'll reconize, {but whatever works for you can be bonus...right?} lol, love and hugs...
Hey there mama - glad to hear that things are going swell for you and yours! We just got back from a week of hard work and labor in Arizona - built a desk for Dustin's grandma - it was HUGE and it was SO hot there, I hope I lost weight just from sweating my brains out for 6 days in a row.
So, we had to rush on home for Charly to be able to go on this field trip - which I signed up to also go on as 'parent help'. Yeah, well, haven't heard a word from your beloved Ms. Bowman - I have e mailed her a couple times even (about different things) and NEVER hear back from her. So, now here I am, at home, when I dang well signed up to go on a field trip with my daughter. What ya gonna do?
Hey girlie! I am so glad to year that you are all settling in, and I am especially happy that Parker will be getting a little more attention. Dallin keeps asking to go to Taylor's house, he just isn't getting the whole "thousands of miles away" thing. Miss you.....we still cry ourselves to sleep every night since you left! Love ya!
Hey you. well, we are still here and we just found out that we will be here until January. I am sick of the uncertainty but at least we can get through the holidays and then think about the move. Your blog is so cute. I am way nervous about the eco. also. We are so blessed to ahve the knowledge of the gospel!
I am so glad for Parker!!! I know Utah sucks at special needs...there is nothing here!!! I miss you Shannon!! I might not go the the expo.. you are so much fun to go with!! Hope to hear from you soon!!
Yay! I am glad things are going well. I miss that Mckenzie girl so much! Tell her hi and that I miss seeing her in Primary! (oh and you too!) I am so glad that they are taking an interest in Parkers needs too. That is awesome! Keep us posted! We miss you so much! :)
