Summer Ends...

Today was the first day of school for our kiddos. After a long summer,... of staying up WAY late, it was sure a hard adjustment for them all last night and this morning. I think they were all pretty excited and happy-ish to be there. Geoffery was nearly inside the building before I was even out of the truck... carrying all his supplies LOL I can't wait to hear how the 1st day went :)

Brian and Jess were at their dad's the whole summer, so not really sure on the schedule they kept. Sydney and Geoffery, were up later than we were some nights!!! I know Sydney would tell me she would stay up till 2:30am or later even!!! Night owls like their daddy.

Anyhow... I have a few pics to share :) short stories to go along with them too I suppose LOL


This is Xena on 4th of July :) Her face hairs are growing out a lot, I need to get her back into the groomers, but thought she looked so cute with her little blue bow.


WE GOT A POOL!!! The kids and I spent a lot of time in this this summer!!! We really enjoyed it,... hoping for a few more days of use before we have to let the water out and put it up for a year.

Daddy and kids

Sydney floating around

This is Sydney asleep the day we got up early, ran to the mall so she could get a freebie pass for Build A Bear online. I think it's called Bearville,... really cute online site for kids... anyhow.... Daddy said she could BUILD a bunny (what she was really really wanting was a bunny critter online, but the freebie just gave you a bear from what she had been told) Anyhow... her late nights, and this early morning trip to the mall plum wore her out LOL I woke her taking this picture.... boy was she ever pissed at me! For nearly the rest of the night!!! LOL She'd love to know I posted it here huh? *giggle*


See Michelle, not all American's have great teeth ROFL Geoffery bought these nasty things at the Dollar General store. Ewwww!!! Show this to your kids, tell them this is what happens when you don't brush your teeth LOL


Because I got outta the blogging world for awhile, I never did get to post about Brian's Jr. Prom!! This was such an event LOL I mean, it seriously felt like just yesterday I was going to mine. It was such a rush rush day/evening, that I didn't get really emotional until I dropped them off and left the center they had the dance at. *sigh* (yeah, mom had to take them, she was a Sr without a license, and he a Jr without a license.... we're working on that this year though LOL) He looks so handsome and they had a great time too!! Was a very proud mom.

Mom and Brian, Jr/Sr Prom 2008


Brian and Jada, Jr/Sr Prom 2008


And lastly.... Brian all ready for his first day at work. We are working hard at kicking Brian in the pants to get motivated for the things to come after he graduates this year. With him leaving each summer to his dads, it made it difficult for him to find a job... a few days after he and Jess returned this summer and a couple days before school was to start, the local grocery store called for an interview... talk about great timing as we were going to go out and about to get/redo applications!! He said the day went well,.... he worked 4-10pm. I look forward to him getting a few more hours each week, and looking at a real paycheck :) I know he will be proud of himself for that.


This is Skipper,.... lots of you know that he was pretty sick about a couple weeks ago. Really had me terrified. As you can see, he's doing tons better and enjoying my desk. "What? my tail is messing up your optical mouse...*shrug* I dunno what to tell you" Yup yup.... he owns the house, and everyone in it LOL He is probably one of the most photogenic cats we have,.... swear he poses for the camera when you pull it out!! LOL




So, that wraps up all the updates and events and whatevers that have been going on here lately. I am sure I could dig up more pics,.... but these are the ones that matter most :)
