First Day of School

Jack and Jay have started school. Jack is in first grade and he loves it. I think he still loves lunch best but he is learning and growing so much. So far this year he has had two spelling tests and has gotten a 100% on both. Way to go Jack.

I enjoy doing this activity because it is fun to see how they have changed from year to year.

Jay

Last night I told Jay to get his blanket and pillow out of the family room, where he had been playing camping, and put them in his room. He told me he couldn't because he was scared of the "walking fingers." Where did that come from and what are walking fingers? I often wonder where Jay came from.

This is Jay dancing. Gotta love it.

Half Marathon

Anyone interested in a half marathon there is one November 14th. My friend, Jana and I are going to run it. I think it will be better to run with someone. I don't know how Ryan talks me into these things. Maybe if I do this one he will stop bothering me about it. But I doubt it and I really don't mind cause then it keeps me in shape.

Headaches

Rachelle and I made a deal. We would stop drinking soda until we were out of the Grand Canyon. I miss my Mountain Dew. I would drink one maybe two a day and my life was good. Why I made this deal I don't know???? But after I have hiked myself out of the giant hole in the ground the Mountain Dew will be so yummy.

I can't wait, only 45 more days. Maybe by then the headaches will be gone.

Who needs to go outside????

Summer in Mesa is very hot, but I love that my boys don't seem to mind. One day they got bored so they brought the outside toys in. Here is Jack skateboarding and Jay riding his bike. It made me smile and laugh that they thought of doing this. Thank goodness we have tile throughout the house and a good "track" for them to play on.
