Columbia Cheer Camp

Kait at cheer camp for Columbia. She had lots of fun learning the routine and was very happy to know that she was going to be able to fly. This is her favorite. She also does some tumbling which is her next favorite thing to do. She is really looking foward to the season and can hardly wait for the competitions which she really loves.

Boys Day Out

Ty, Makay, Bubba, and John all had a guys day where they went to the gun range and practiced shooting. Makay loved it and was so proud of his target that it is up on the fridge. Ty has gotten pretty good at shooting and even tried Bubba's gun this time. Kait and I spent the time at her cheer practice. She wants nothing to do with guys day out.

Recap of Week

Ty spoke today at church he was little nervous but did very well. The first week of school is now behind us. Ty said that it was not as bad as he thought it would be, so far we have not had much homework, math and spanish. I am a little rusty on the spanish it has been over 20 years since I took spanish hopefully I can help him. Makay loves 6th grade and is already looking foward to History Day again. We are already working on it. I must be crazy it is a lot of work but he really enjoyed it and is so excited about history that it is hard to not get excited with him. Kait loves her teacher and was excited that she got the class job that she wanted.

Hectic

Wow we are so busy with everyone's practices and stuff. I thought that once school started I would be able to take it easy. The day starts early since Ty now has seminary I get up to make sure he has a good breakfast and is ready to leave by 6:50. I then have a few minutes before Makay and Kait need to be up, then I get them breakfast and make sure they are getting ready for school. John or I pick up Ty and take him to school and the other gets the other 2 school. When everyone is out the door I have time to get things done that I want to. After school is crazy! Kait has cheer practice on Monday for Columbia and also Dolphins so there is only a few minutes to eat and get homework done for her. Tuesday we have tumbling. Wednesday Makay has soccer and scouts, Kait has cheer and Ty has YM. Thursday Makay has soccer. I guess the only day we do not have anything is Friday, but now that Ty is in High School there will be football games and stuff that he will want to go to. Sat we have soccer games for Makay, Kait has tumbling and will have to cheer at football games. John works Wednesday-Saturday so it makes it a little hard for me to get everything done but the kids all work together to make sure things are done.

Wow the first day of school. The house is so quiet today. John and I went to Barnes and Noble this morning and then came home. Everyone was excited and a little nervous this morning, John dropped off Ty at Liberty this morning. I walked Makay and Kait to their school. Kait has a lot of her friends so she was very excited about that. Makay as the same teacher this year as he had last year so he already knows what to expect. Hard to believe that this will be the last time Makay and Kait will be together until High School. My last year with kids in only 2 schools, next year they will be in 3 schools.

School shopping

Wow school starts on Monday. Try school shopping with 2 boys who could care less if they had new clothes and 1 girl who can shop till she drops. We are finally close to being done. Everyone got stuff to at least start with. The boys just till me to pick out stuff for them, however I did have to take them to get shoes. Never try to do it all in 1 day with boys. Kait was so mad with them for not wanting to look at everything. Kait has turned into a good bargin shopper. She is so excited when we find deals she likes to figure out how much we saved and is proud of all the deals we found for her.

Just Getting Started

We are just starting to get this up and running. It is hard when the kids are always on the computer. Soon school will be starting and I will have a little free time when the computer will be free. Ty helped and is very excited to help keep it going.
School starts on Monday!!!! Ty is going to be a Freshman at Liberty High (scary), Makay is going to be in 6th grade and Kait is going into 4th.
