A little bit of our summer fun

Well our summer got off to a rocky start...I had surgery in july that laid me up for a few weeks but we still tried to get a few fun things done over the summer before school started. We took a trip to Ogdensburg, did a lot of camping including a second weekend in the tent which by the way it was a beautiful weekend and there was not a drop of RAIN!!!!! I also took the kids to Enchanted Forest one day. School has started so there will be pictures of that too!!! Last weekend Mariah and I went on a girl scout trip and had a blast as well....I would have to say that the highlight of the girl scout trip was in the middle of the night when I fell down the steps of our lean too...that was great :)~ All in all I think that we had a great summer I no longer am working every weekend so that made it nice too!!! We were able to do so much more. My kids are growing up so fast it is so hard to believe that Kaitlyn "my baby" is now in head start it still seems wierd having all the kids gone during the day! In a few days Alan and I are taking a mom & dad trip to Buffalo to watch a football game...we will miss the kids but all parents need a couple of days away!!!!

A weekend in the tent :)

A few weeks ago I told Alan that I wanted to get the tent out and go tenting with the kids. We have not been camping in a tent since Mariah was a baby. So finally I made reservations and i got Alan to go. It would have been perfect if it were not for the 4 letter word that starts with "R". You got it rain...it rained after I got everything set up (Alan had to work and did not come up until 6pm). A little rain would have been ok but it came down in buckets we were WET!!!! Saturday there was some rain but not nearly as bad and of course today when we packed to leave it was beautiful! Well we had fun just the same. The kids went swimming, rode bikes and fed the chipmunks. All in all it was a good family weekend I just wish we could have more of them maybe soon things will change and i wont be working every weekend.

"That's my boy and I am so proud of him"

Well somehow i twisted the picture and cant get it back lol!! This is my first baseman. He does very well and we are so proud of hi. He is also a pretty good hitter another reason that we are proud of him. Way to go Tyler!!!!!

Oh its been a long time since I added anything

Well its been so long since I have added anything so here is an update on the kids. Tyler is now playing baseball and plays the drums in the school band. Mariah is in girl scouts and will be playing T-ball. Kaitlyn is just being her loving old self it is amazing how someone so little can have a heart so big. She can make the worst day all better with a smile and a hug. I love my kids so much they are my life and every decission that Alan and I make in life is based on the what the outcome will be for the kids. It's so hard to believe that another year of school is ending and that in September Kaitlyn will be going to school. That will be so bitter sweet

A new member of the family!!!!!

WELL AFTER MONTHS OF BEGGING AND ALAN AND I THINKING WE FINALLY WENT OUT ON A LIMB AND ADDED A MEMBER TO OUR FAMILY. A 4 LEGGED MEMBER THAT IS!!!! ON OCTOBER 18TH WE ADOPTED A PUGLE PUPPY HER NAME IS ZOEY. SHE IS PART PUG PART BEAGLE. SHE IS SO CUTE AND THE KIDS WERE SO HAPPY. THEY ALL DO REALLY GOOD WITH HER AND SHARE THE CHORES THAT GO ALONG WITH HER. I MUST SAY THAT WHEN I SAW HER I KNEW THAT WE HAD TO HAVE HER!!!

THE 1ST DAY OF SCHOOL!!! ALL MOTHERS LOOK FORWARD TO THIS!

School has started again all mothers love that 1st day by the end of summer the kids are going stir crazy and so am I. They are at each others necks and can't wait to see all there friends. Tyler is now in 4th grade and Mariah is in 1st Kaitlyn is doing home base head start and was very upset when she could not get on the bus with her brother and sister. She has a backpack that she carries all over and on the 1st day of school she had it all packed to go with her baby and blanket in there along with a book and some crayons....you have to love kids they are so sweet and special and they grow up so fast.

IT'S FOOTBALL SEASON GO FALCONS!!!!!

Tyler is playing pop warner football this year and he loves it. He is a guard and for his 1st year i think he does a good job. Football started in August and gets done the end of October. Right now he practices 3 nights a week and has a game every Sunday. The pics that I am putting on are of his 1st scrimmage. I was not able to be there due to work but his dad took some pictures for me and he made his 1st tackle at this game. Way to go Tyler!!!!!
