McKenzie's Poem

Mckenzie had an assignment today at school and she had to answer question of where I'm from and make a poem. It was great and I wanted to share it with everyone. These are the things that make a mom cry.

Where I'm From
I am from my mom singing to me before bed.
The smell of her perfume.
Waking up to country musis playing in my house.
Singing "I am a child of God."
I am from smells of Sunday dinner.
Fried chicken, brownies, and chocolate chip cookies.
I'm from my papa giving me two ice creams, one for each hand.
I am from making mud pies in my back yard.
Having lemonade stands, and pool parties.
I am from playing football in the street with no shoes on.
Jumping on the trampoline with the spinklers under it.
Not being able to play outside after dark.
I am from "You can get glad in the same pants you got mad in."
"Remember who you are and what you stand for"
"Did you do your chores"
and
"I love you."
I am from parents who expect me to set a good example for five younger siblings.
I am from learning to cook, clean and take care of kids to working on cars with my papa. Learning if I want something I have to work for it.
I am from Michael and Tiffanie Gonzales.
I am McKenzie.

My Doggys


Our other two family members. They were laying on the floor together and I had to take a picture of them. Smokey the big doy has been in our family for twelve years, he is getting old and he thinks he can move fast and falls all the time. We love him and give him a little extra love. Precious the little black one is the brat of the relationship. She has been in our family for seven years. She is Mckenzie's baby she follows her everywhere. We love them even when they are brats, at least they don't talk back. My dad used to say he should have had pets instead of kids well I have both.

Mckenzie Got Glasses



McKenzie got glasses. Just for reading but she reads 24/7 so I guess they are all the time glasses. Mikey is getting contacts and Austen doesn't need glasses anymore, that was nice news. Mariyah only needs them for a little while longer and the new doctor gave her a prescription that she can see with but she still doesn't wear them all the time. Its always fun taking five kids to the doctor and getting glasses and contacts. Its a good thing we have good insurance or man it would be expensive.

First Day of School





Well it school is here again. Sad but happy. Sad another summer is over and my kids keep getting bigger, but happy because now the kids aren't so bored. I get so tired of "mom I'm bored, I have nothing to do." Aarika, Mckenzie and Mikeala are all in high school. They all have lunch together so it worked out good for Mikeala who is a freshman and at a new school. Mckenzie is a junior and has a pretty heavy load this year but I think she will do well. Aarika is a senior this year, Yikes!!! She has five classes and only three are real classes the other two are aide classes. She is excited. Michael and Annalyse are in junior high together. Michael is big man on campus now in eighth grade and my little LuLu (Annalyse) is in sixth grade. She looked so little when I dropped her off the first day, but she said she liked school and had fun. I only have two in elementary this year Austen and Mariyah, I haven't had only two in elementary since Aarika was in the third grade. Crazy how time flys. Mariyah is in first grade and she is still the teacher of the class, she let her knew teacher know that the first day. Austen is in third grade and he has the same teacher all of his siblings had and we love her. She loves Austen and he is going to be a great helper for her this year. I am glad that my children like school it makes life alot easier. Another year is going to fly by and hopefully I will stop and be able to enjoy it.

We just celebrated Michael and Mikeys birthdays this past saturday. I can't believe my first boy is thirteen. Man I am getting old, and Michael can't believe he is thirty eight. Now thats old. Mikey got money and shoes and he is getting a weight bench because he wants to get buff. I told him slow down he will be buff soon enough. Boys.
