First Day of School

School started YEA!!!!!! Life has started a new routine, a busy routine. The kids seem to have had a good day on their first day.

Kaelie is in the second grade, and so far likes it. Her teacher is Mrs. Griffin. She looks like the stereotype of a really mean teacher. Kaelie is a little afraid of her, which is the first thing she has ever been afraid of. I don't know if that is a good thing or a bad thing, considering it is her teacher. Time will only tell. Kaelie picked out her outfit and had to have the black sequence shoes to go with it. She said " it almost looks Goth." I put an end to that and told her " it had pink in it and anything with pink in it is no way Goth."

Marlin is in the 5th grade and he thinks his teachers hang the moon. We are both excited about this year. He loves football and friends. He likes to wear funny t-shirt with funny sayings, but he said this morning "that the "real " Marlin is coming back." I asked him "what is the "real" Marlin." He said "the" real" Marlin wears a sport t-shirt and sport shorts. It all about comfort." What a boy, I'm all about comfort as well.





Kj is in 7th grade. JR. High!!!!!!! I can't believe it. I have had some anxiety about this all summer. I have tried to explain to him about being responsible and to listen and most importantly try to remember what the teachers are telling. He was nervous about the first day, but he did pretty good. He found his classes, opened his locker, and even brought home the important papers without his mothers help. That is one more cord Keith and I have had to cut loose. He is growing into a good young man and I'm not so worried about him today.

Ready for some FOOTBALL !!!!

Who's ready for some FOOTBALL!! That's right it's time for football. Marlin started football one week ago. So one week down and many weeks to go. He is really excited for his 5th grade season. He is on the Chiefs GMFL league. Keith coaches that team. It is his love. If I would let him he would coach high school football. Here in West Texas Football is huge. Go Saturday Night Lights. Just a little info about High School football in West Texas, you have to buy season ticket to get into the football games on Friday night. It is CRAZY!!!

KJ is starting on the 7th grade team. He thinks he is big now being in Jr. High. I'll he pictures of him when his season starts.

Kaelie starts cheer leading soon as well. Yes I said it, the huge bad word "cheer leading." Worst of all I have a cheerleader.

I'm Old

I feel as if I am old and I said something my great grandma would say. Kaelie asked me today if I pretended to have a web-show with my friends when I was a little girl. I told her no the Internet wasn't invented yet when I was alittle girl (not invented yet, are you kidding me. That is a whole generation gap. Think about that, we are all old). She then said how did I get everything that I needed to know, like how to cook , have a phone if I didn't have the Internet. She made me laugh and then made me think about when I first got the Internet back in 1999. The stats said that by the year 2000 every home would have the Internet and I thought what a joke I don't need the Internet. Now I can't live with out it. I get pretty ticked off when it is down and I'm stuck about getting information on how to cook or something. It was just something to think about.

Summer Boredom

Summer is almost over and we haven't done much. My kids are bored to death and are driving me crazy. Gotta love the end of summer and school really needs to start attitude that I'm sure many mothers have about now. I haven't taken any pictures of the absolute boredom so I can't post those, just imagine it in your head. We have had almost a month of ZERO sports, but that doesn't last long. On Monday the boys start football and Kaelie starts up cheer. Yes I said it, I have a cheerleader. Its is almost a dirty word to me and my sisters but Kaelie loves it and that is right where she belongs. I will have many football and cheer picture to post real soon. On my play list I found this skit about the comparisons of football and baseball. It was kinda funny. I sneak peek into my life.
It has been a different summer for us as we usually go see family in Arizona, which takes up most of the summer. This summer I was down healing in bed and taking it easy for most part so we didn't get to visit family or do anything to much fun. I hope everyone enjoyed their summer. School is around the corner and no more sleeping in.
