BACK TO SCHOOL

 
 School started August 26, 2013! I couldn't be happier. Don't get me wrong, I love my kids, but you mix in hot summer days that are long and you have to spend half the time entertaining them...yea...I was ready for school to start! Our little guy is officially a PRE-K student. He loves everything about his "new-big school". Plus he gets to go where his sister Jessie goes and that just makes his day to be able to walk in with her every morning. He gets out at 11am. We have our afternoon alone time which allows me to help him with homework, eat lunch with him and take naps. He loves everything about his class and his teacher!

 
 Jessie is growing and maturing into a great young lady. She is now in 3rd grader. And really thinks its something to be proud of that her class is upstairs at school. That's where all the big kids go, you see. She will be learning multiplication this year and that has made her very nervous!

 
And Jill. The 7th grader. No longer a small fish in the big pond. Her 17 year old attitude has taken the back seat for now. I think it will turn up a bit going into 8th grade. She is still in orchestra and has taken on athletics. She made the volleyball team!

Here's to another successful school year. Routines, schedules, games, overnight field trips, making new friends and loosing old ones, sleepovers, school parties, birthday parties, meeting new moms, getting to know the teachers, early mornings, lots of coffee, homework, multiplication, dental check-ups, eye appointments, after school snacks, lots of pre-teen texting, boy problems, holidays, and counting down to next summer!! HAPPY SATURDAY!

WE GOT MARRIED!!

My dear-to-my-heart little sister got married. September 4, 2012. To the man she met 6 years ago to the date. Love stories like that make me smile. And all though she was hesitant 6 years ago when i twisted her arm enough and forced her to set up a MySpace, in no time she met her husband. So I like to secretly think I had a hand in all this. After all the whole MySpace thing was my idea ;) Tim and Jennifer,          I am proud of the two of you. You are both very dear to my heart and always will be. Jennifer, you already know that you are the best little sister this girl could ask for. Tim, I have liked you from day one. And over the years I have grown to love you. You are the best person in the world for my sister. (after all she was able to avoid alot of crazies online after y'all met) HA HA!! I wish you guys many many many years of happiness! You guys are amazing together. And the best aunt and uncle to Jaxon. Love always!! Jessica

All is well...and everyone is home...

Jynx came home today. He has a cast over his pins. They ended up finding more wounds that needed stitches so he has 3 different sets of stitches on his leg and his paw is still really swollen. He is on 3 different pain meds as well. And we are still baffled as to what happened. Josh went to let him and the other dog out and came in for maybe 20 minutes...went back outside and Jynx was hurt. We have searched the backyard and garage but can not figure out what has happened. So who knows. Jynx isn't saying either! It was bad enough to have caused some small places to stitch and 6 pins worth. Its really sad. His little throat is dry from where they had the tube in his throat so he cant really whimper. And the other bad thing is, is we were going to take him to get groomed and now we have to wait 8 weeks! O well. I'm really glad that he is ok and it wasn't AS bad as it could have been and hes home now. Thank goodness for puppy insurance!!!!

Back to reality....

Our trip to Austin was a blast! I have decided that if we are ever able to return there, that I need to be in alot better shape!!! I was soooo tired and sore...from walking mind you!! I would lose 10lbs from all the walking and sweating and then gain 15 every time I ate!! There was never a dull moment on this little vacation of ours...we made the most of everyday. We were glad to return home to our chunky monkey though!! And glad to announce that he has stopped sucking his thumb since he has left aunt Jennifer's!! I wish could have taken a picture of how tired she looked when we got home, because I knew this would kick her tail!! But her watching them all for us (Jaxon plus the cat and dog) was greatly appreciated and I hope nothing scared her away!! Pictures and great stories behind them coming soon....probably this Sunday because we get the computer Saturday but we are going to the local Harley Davidson Party and I won't really want to mess with the computer after picking it...
