Dylan's Class at My Gym!

Not much has been going on since school started. To keep busy I put Dylan in a class at "My Gym" with his best little buddy Halle. They are loving it. He thinks that he is such a big boy now. As he really is. It's hard to believe that he is almost 3! He tells his brothers that he "gets to go to his class" when they go to school. He's so proud of being able to walk on the Balance Beam and he loves to flip on the Bars! He has class once a week for an hour and we try to take him one other time a week to play. Still it's hard for him to be with just mom ALL DAY LONG!

Last Sky Sox game of the year!

Since the boys have been playing baseball this year they have been really into it. They all got free tickets to the Sky Sox's from the reading program over the summer. So we decided to save them for the last game of the year. It had been pouring rain every night for the last week so we crossed our fingers. We had scouts before the game so we were running a little late. But the weather was beautiful. Nice and cool but no rain or wind! Everyone had a great time and hey the Sky Sox's even won! Farewell until next year. Now I just listen to Dylan say every time we drive by the stadium " Look Mom Sky Sox's all over! Maybe next year!"

1st Day of School!!

The Boys were actually pretty excited to go back to school. We went the other night and met their teachers. Aaron is going into 3rd grade and has Mr Long who seems really nice. He was glad to find out that he knows at least 7 people in his classes. So he'll be surrounded with friends. Landon in going to 1st grade and is so excited to stay all day and have lunch at school. There was actually no complaining this mornign even though it was early. We drove down to the school and then walked to find their classes carrying their school supplies ( i swear they weighed 30 pounds). Dylan was so said when he realised that he didn't get to stay too. It's just him and mom from now on all day long (how boring!). I took him to Chick-Fil-A to soften the blow of no playmates and then to meet his friends Cassidy and Halle at the park. But boy it was quiet today! I guess I should get used to it!

Last Day of Summer!!!

Can you believe that summer is over. Tomorrow is the 1st day of school. Yeah for Mom! We wanted to do something fun but our choices are limited with Aaron's cast so we went to the Zoo! It was a beautiful day at 78 degrees. We went with Karen and the kids and had loads of fun. The kids got to feed the giraffes which is always their favorite part. We actually got to see a lot of the animals. They have a new Mountain Lion exhibit which was cool. He was right up front for all to see. The baby Orangutan was swinging all over the place which is always fun. Landon's favorite thing is always the Hippo's and she even came out of the water just for him! A perfect last day of summer ended with a long rain storm. It's always easier to go back to school if it's raining right. I just hope they can get up that early every morning!

Library Party at Memorial Park!

Every year the kids look forward to the Library Party at the park but boy was it hot today! Good thing it was early and there were a lot of trees. We went with Karen, Ammon, Halle and Jaxon. Dylan didn't care about anything but getting to the Helicopter. Of course he thought he was going to get to fly in it. But well take sitting in it! They also got to sit on the Police Motorcycle, in the back of the Police Car, walk through the Ambulance and climb up into a huge Tractor. They got their faces painted with huge spiders and a sun with sunglasses for Halle. The made hats and got to touch all sorts of creepy spiders, snakes and lizards! Fun was had by all! The highlight of the trip was getting to watch the Helicopter take off. Count down to school is now official on! Now if we can just get through this Heat! Ugh it's gonna hit 100 today!
