First Day of School 2008

So the day had finally come that all mothers look forward to! The first day of school!!! YEAH!!! It is a little sad for me to think that my baby is going into the 3rd grade and even worse that Austin is going into the 5th. On the other hand, I get to enjoy my days off all to myself :). It wouldn't be so bad if it were just MY kids around, but no...it's Austin, Ethan, Quincey, Aaron, Bryley, Robert, Micheal and which ever little girl has a crush on Austin. It's nice to have a quiet house, no video games being played, no doors being slammed, no wet clothes left in the kitchen floor from water play, but a little sad too. I know that one day I'll look back and for a quick second miss it. The boys are growing up so fast, which is depressing, it makes me feel old. If I could start all over again right now...I would.

Disco Fever?

We were invited to a disco party. Not my favorite of the themed parties, but we still went. Russell fit the part perfect with the feathered hair and crazy bling...me, not so much. My hair wouldn't feather, so I just went shiny. We had alot of fun, drinks and karoake.

Summer 2008

So, this is new to me, but I love the opportunity to keep everyone updated, especially since some of my family doesn't have email. We've had a busy summer. School starts on September 2nd and I can't wait. This is the first year in a long time that I'm not starting with the boys. Austin is starting the 5th grade and Ethan is going into the 3rd. Austin is growing his hair out, has a attitude like a teenager and a mind of his own. Ethan is ready for school. He hasn't reached the stage were I want to strangle him yet :)

We've done alot this summer. We've been to water country many times, lots of outside time, pool time, parties (alot) and kinda wrapped it up with a Toby Keith concert. It was Austin's first concert and it was outside and it poored down rain.
