Today was the 5th grade program. Let's just pause for one second and try and wrap our heads around the fact that I have a 5th grader...that was not easy. The program was all about America and the presidents. She worked very hard. This year she is trying to receive her "Patriot Award". It has you memorizing lots, and lots, and lots of fun facts. The boys will be so prepared when they get to 5th grade because Kodi is so thorough in making sure we all know our facts. :) I knew all the states way back when and now I know them all over again. (Thank you Fifty Nifty United States song.) Kodi also knows a great song that names all the presidents in order. She has it down, I am still working on that one. I love when my kids sing patriotic songs. I am so proud to be an American, and that I am raising my kids here in this great country! (I may have cried, but don't tell her that.) She smiled at me each time our eyes met. We are best friends! (Let us focus on the fact that it is the day before Valentine's day and that is why she can pull of a red shirt and pink socks.)

I have been trying lately to enjoy the little moments. As we were out milking tonight I paused to enjoy this one. I love this face. All of it. I love the sparkling eyes, I love the koolaid-stache. I love his dead tooth, all his teeth really cause they are still his baby ones. I love the story behind the face and there is always a story there. I love that he has a warm coat. And I love that his hands can't ever quite get the milk barn door open so I get to see this face looking in at me every milking. Enjoy the little moments!
