A quick update

   I haven''t wrote much. Not really into this blog thing yet. I thought I was ready for it but seems as though there just isn't enough time.

   So here is an update. July went super fast. After the fourth we were busy just getting things organized for school. School clothes/supply shopping, getting the new bed time down to pat, reviewing, and trying to enjoy the last couple weeks of summer, just relaxing.

  August 6th was Kaleb's first day back to school. He is in the 1st grade this year. He was excited to see his friends and his teacher . Ms. Morgan was his Kindergarten teacher and is now his first grade teacher (awesome)! The school is trying a "Looping" program.  Studies show that kids who are looped with the same teacher and students do better in school all around. So I am game!!! We are currently getting used to our school routine. It's been a struggle to get Kaleb to concentrate on his homework(so far). He wants to play with his brother, watch T.V., and eat. Anything but homework. So, I have decided that since he gets a packet we will do it over two days and study the other two days. That makes it about 45mins a day of homework and studying. Pray for us, lol.

  This past Saturday 8-25-12 we took the kids to High falls and Indian Springs State Parks. We had a "picnic". I so forgot the plates at home lol!  Took some pictures with the kids and went on a Nature Scavenger Hunt. Boy, did they enjoy that!!! Since they enjoyed it so much they came home and had another one in the backyard. So, we as a family are going to start Geo Catching! It's like a treasure hunt while hiking. We get to hide/ find things while we are exploring the outside. I believe it will be a great family activity, while the weather permits.
Thats it for now folks, love ya
