So I am really falling behind on this blogging thing! With the kids in school it seem like I should have more time than ever, I don't know where it goes. Maybe I am not using my time very well?! I feel like I am busy all the time?! What's new with us? Brooklyn started soccer this week, she is a soccer diva. She loves practice, I am looking forward to next week when she gets to sport her skill- in a game. Dylan's playing football, practicing three times a week and then a game a week on top of that. It's been nice Chris hasn't been super busy (yet) and helps run one this way, while I take the other that way, LOL! The kids really like school thus far, they each have amazing teachers. The peace I have everyday knowing they will be well taken care of is wonderful! Looking forward to a beautiful fall weekend and going to enjoy what's left of the dry days : )

Got Dirt?

We have got dirt!!! This weekend, with the help of some heavy equipment and some wonderful family and friend's, we moved dirt around. We are level now! It looks much better around here. Dylan had a blast riding around on the cat, Uncle Ryan even taught him how to drive the little cat all by himself! Dylan drove all over on Papa and Nanie's property, he was "laying down the grass "

School Days

Yesterday was the kid's first day of school. Dylan started 1st grade and Brooklyn is a kindergartner. What a hard Day for mom : ( I was so sad! Let me re-phrase that I was devastated, it caught me by surprise. I thought all was well until it was time for me to leave Brooklyn and then the tears started flowing. These weren't the tears that you can quickly wipe away, it was those big, ugly, out of control cry baby tears. I quickly left her class room and regrouped my self LOL, got Dylan down to his class and checked in. Looked in Brooklyn's class room once more on my way out, she was playing with her new BFF, and was just fine. I managed to make it though the day as well- thanks for thinking about me. Both kids had a great day and loved their new school : )
