School Days... School Days...

First Day of School 2008. Brooklyn is in 7th grade this year and loves junior high. She spent hours decorating her locker!!! Griffin is in 4th grade this year and is playing JFL football. His jersey number is 75. Candon is in 1st grade and had a hard time again this year but is adapting. He cried the first day and said "I don't want to go today, I'll go tomorrow" But by the time he got off the bus he was all smiles. Taylyn Grace- My baby's first day of kindergarten. Of course I was sad and she was so ready to go. She told me"mom, you don't have to take me, I can just ride the bus!" She did great, got in her line and waved and away she went. She loves it and can't wait to go back each day. She is also really worn out and has been asleep before 8pm all week. And........ I am finally able to clean my house and get somethings done on my day off and to sleep in peace and quiet after working all night. Though the first full day of school I was trying to sleep and our neighbor just happened to be off work and decided to weed eat and mow....Ugggg, it figures!!!!

Post Vacation.....

Well, we made it. Vacation went well and we all survived. Even if Beth made me hike three miles up hill both ways!!! I keep telling her that I am not a "wilderness girl"! Cumberland Falls were beautiful and we all had a great time. The kids got to swim a lot and went on a couple hikes and even got to go horseback riding!

Getting ready for vacation!

Well, here we go. We're off to Kentucky for vacation! The kids are all really excited so of course trying to get anything done around here is almost impossible. Trying to pack for a family of six is easier said than done also. Clothes, pillows, blankets, first aid kit (and yes I am sure that we will need it!) medicine, swimsuits, towels and the list goes on and on. Oh I almost forgot, cell phones, gameboys, DS's, portable DVD players, IPODS, all the must haves for a long car ride! Taylyn is getting her own cd player to listen to because she likes to listen to the same song over and over and over again. Well, wish us luck and I am sure that I will have lots to post about and pictures when we get back!

Following Suit.....

Beth just created a blog and told me that I should try it. She says that it is super easy so I am going to give it a try! We'll see how it goes! Wish me luck!
