The Storm

Well here is why it was back to school-sort of. We had a crazy storm last night that did some real damage around town. It knocked out power for a lot of people. Amber is still without power tonight. We are lucky that ours only flickered. School was canceled due to no power. Nothing like having school canceled on the 2nd day! Next week is going to be a long hard week for them. Poor Chase will have the hardest time. All day kindergarten and a bus that picks them up at 7:08 makes for a long day.
Here is our damage form the storm:( I loved this tree. It was weakened in a storm last year and we lost part of it. This time not much survived. Chad and the boys are having fun using the chainsaw on a positive note. I just wish it would of taken out the tree next to it, I don't like that one. No such luck.
Last night before the storm Jaidon had a practice game for baseball. They had him PITCH! What! I think they are trying to give me a heartattack! I guess he is pretty accurate and with a little practice could be a pretty good pitcher. Chad is helping coach this season so I better make sure he knows that I may not be able to handle it! I don't think he really cares.:)
As I write this there is thunder and lighting going on outside....hope it is not like last night!

Back to School-sort of

Another school year has begun. I can not believe that my Chase is in kindergarten!!!! He is ready to be in school but I will sure miss our time together during the day. I love that boy! We found out last Thursday who Chase has, Mrs McNorton. We are very excited for him. He is way excited because his friend Will is in his class. Will and Chase had preschool together last year and have become best buddies. On Tuesday we were able to find out who Miki and Jaidon have. Miki has Mrs. Walker. She is happy because "Micheal"(insert big sigh here) is in her class, but sad that her other friends Reagan and Shelby are not. Miki is so positive and will love it just because it is school. Jaidon has Mrs. Green, I don't know who was more bummed, him or mom & dad. We really wanted him to get Mrs Turner, Miki had her and we loved her. To add salt to our wounds his to best buddies Creed and Jack are in her class:( Oh well! Jaidon will do great and came home from school raving about his teacher. He will do great! They only had a half day and it was wierd just having Bres and Dax at home. I didn't have Koen until 1:30 so I really got a taste of just us three at home. I am sad summer is over but greatful to get back on a routine. I am horrible of keeping one in the summer. I am so lucky that they love school and really look forward to it starting again. I think Miki starts counting down the days till it starts again the first day of vacation!

I am so proud of Mikinzie and Jaidon. They did AWESOME! It was so much fun to watch them. Mikinzie is hooked! She wants to be on stage all the time, we already knew that but she made sure we still were aware that it hadn't changed. Jaidon did a great job and was an fabolus Grandpa Jack. He was put it at the last min. and did great. Everyone that they worked with said how much they loved them. It never gets old hearing how great your kids are!:) I think all the staff wanted to take Jaidon home! I did explain that he is always better for everyone but me, but hey at least he behaves for others! LOL

Is it really the end of July!

Well things have been busy as usual. I have been so wiped out come Sunday the last few weeks I have slacked on my blogging. We have been doing alot of play practice and dance. Jaidon decided to make life even crazier by doing a baseball and football camp in the evenings. So basically I have spent most of my time being a taxi driver:) We did head down to the Peterson's last Saturday and had a blast hanging with our friends. We even broke out the scrapbooks to see the picks from all those years ago when we were at Carolynn's birthday party. It was so fun to see our "big" kids not so BIG. We are so lucky to have such great friends!On Tuesday Miki decided that Bres was ready to be done with her binky. I was sitting on the couch and I could hear them talking. They inform me that they are mailing her binkies to Cinderella. Bres was all excited and they took them out to the mail box. I then see Miki discretely putting them in the trash. Waooooo wait a sec. get those out and hide them unless you want to sit up with her in the middle of the night was my response. I know I am a big wuss when it comes to things like this. Well she did great and no more binkies at our house:)
