I thought-- how do you put down everything that has gone on, and thought to myself as I was making my list for this week, that is what I will have to do, to get up to speed here.
1. Cooper started Kindergarten and loves it. He really loves music time, he comes home singing the songs all the time. Cooper, Alivia and some other neighborhood kids all walk home together. They love being so responsible.
2. Alivia in first grade. I bought this bag and filled it with all sorts of goods, from the dollar spot at Target. If she gets a 100% on her spelling test on Friday she gets to choose a little something. It has been very motivating, we'll see how long it lasts:)
3. Bauer loves the one on one mom time. Cooper goes to school, Kessler takes a nap, and we get to hang out. Lately we have been laying down and taking a nap too:)4. Kessler is getting big saying a lot more words, his latest words. Stop, ouch, what, incredible (kind of, we know what he is saying) He also loves the water, much more than Bauer does now.
We went on a very short trip to Lake Mead, and he wanted to be in the water the whole time. Bauer totally content on the beach. Pictures of Kessler playing in the gutter in front of our house. Lovely:)
5. We love fall around here, the weather is perfect right now, the a/c doesn't run for 22 out of 24 hours of the day, we have been able to go on walks, play outside, enjoy opening the windows at night. (except for Ben, it flares up his nostrils, with allergies)
6. Cooper is learning how to ride his bike, he is almost there he can peddle and balance on his own he has a problem steering in the right direction.
7. Ben is back at Jordan Landing as the HR person.
8. I am still in Young Women's, which occupies my Sunday's, Wednesday's, Volleyball Thursday's, I am one of the room mom's in Liv's class and one of the room mom's in Coopers class. Which I love, I would do it every year if I can swing it. My kids have great teachers and I am so thankful for that, it makes it easy.
9. I have been working upwards 50 hours a month flying, extra money is always nice....we are trying to plan a trip in October for our 10 year, Ben's 35 b-day this year. We have lots of places on the radar, just can't decided which one. Also Christmas is coming upon us fast.
10. Love the craziness, I again was talking to an older mom on the airplane and she was going to visit one of her children across the country. She expressed she missed having them at home, and wishes it wouldn't have gone so fast. Amen to that!!
