School Starts Soon!

Wow! School starts on Monday. I am ready for the kids to go back. I know they are ready even though they all say no. 3 kids and 3 schools. This is a first for me. Makay is starting Jr. High and will be at a school for the first time by himself, no sister or brother. He is very excited to be starting Jr high and can hardly wait for History Day to begin. Kait also will be going to school for the first time by herself, with no big brothers to keep an eye out for her (dad is more worried about that than she is). Ty is going to be in 10th grade and is on Link crew this is something he is excited about. Will post pictures on Monday from 1st day of school. The kids hate taking them but we have been doing it since Ty started and will continue until they are out of the house.

Kait Returns!

After a long trip Kait returns. She was very excited to tell us all about her trip. Her favorite thing was seeing Lion King in Vegas. She keeps talking about that. She took pictures so once they are developed we will post them.

Kait Leaves!

Kait left this morning for her vacation with grandma, Bubba and Marissa. The girls were very excited to go. They had been counting down the days for weeks. Today they are shopping at the outlet mall at stateline. Tomorrow is off to Vegas and to see the Lion King. Wednesday they head off to Salt Lake City. Saturday they are going to Park City and will stay in St. George and then Sunday back to Vegas and will return home next Monday. I am sure that Bubba will need a few extra days to recover from all the activities.

Cousins come to visit

Thanks for Visiting! We got a special treat recently when our cousins came to visit us in Bakersfield. On Monday we went to the waterpark and spent the day in the pool, riding on the water-slide, and playing with the water toys. Tuesday we spent the morning playing at the hotel pool. We had a great time and hope to see them soon!

The Boys Return

The house was quiet for the week. Both boys returned home on Saturday. Ty was able to get home early enough so he could swim in his last swim meet. His team placed
1st out of 12 teams so he was very excited about that. Makay had fun at camp and even earned his surviorman merit badge. Now the house is back to being busy. Soccer starts this week for Makay. So I guess my life just got busier.

A Quiet House

Both boys are now gone until Sat. Makay left last night to sleep-over at a friend's house because they would be leaving at 3:30 in the morning to head up to camp. They wanted to be on the 1st barge to get across to Camp Kern. Ty did not have to leave until 9:00, so he slept in, ate breakfast and took a shower before he left. He was still nervous but also excited. They were going to have a zip line at camp today. Kait was excited to have them leave but by late afternoon missed them both.

Camp

Both boys are getting ready to go to camp next week. Makay will be going to Camp Kern and leaves at 4:00am Monday morning. Ty is camping close to Bakersfield and will be along the Kern River, he will get to go river rafting. He will also get to rock climb and they are having a slide that will go into the river. He is a little nervous about river rafting. The house will be very quiet for 1 week.
