Fall Sports Begin, Oh and a little Fair

And so it begins. Fall sports are in full swing. Our days are very full with the five kids. Cara started off the season with a goal. But the team lost. She is playing really well. Very impressed.

Austin had his first game this past thursday. He missed their first game because he was sick and didn't have enough practices in. But he is loving it. They won this game. Go Austin!!!
Brent is not only coaching the 7th grade football team. He decided he would help out with the twins soccer team. Which Cason and Cael love. They have had two games now and are always looking forward to the next. Very cute and funny at this age.

Cael is in the back with Cason up front. Notice the huge smiles. Its finally their turn.

Adams County fair was crazy and fun all at once. Very glad it is over. Brent worked most the week so mom tried to be in four places at once. I was able to walk the fair for a short time with Cason and Cael while they took their kindergarten field trip. Here the took the chance to show the girls thier moves. There was music playing.

(Should of put this picture last.) Courtney took Grand Champion with her market rabbit! WooHoo! We are very proud of her. Its a first for this family. She recieved a belt buckel. Way to go Courtney.

Courtney and NiCole showing their rabbits.

Dont get many pictures of Austin smiling. He is really getting good at showing his pig. He got a call back for fitting and showing. Our Austin is growing up.

And finally Cara. She is really learning the ropes. This is her first year and second fair. Good job Cara.

Not to forget that Courtney, Cara, Cason and Cael dance. Which sends us to Moses Lake three days a week. Well mom is really tired, but I love being able to have my kids do things. I love seeing the smiles on their faces. The the chance they have to grow in many areas. Hopefully they grow up well rounded.

Back to School, Back to School

That time of the year again. The kids and Brent are all back to school. My camera's battery was dead but if I turned my camera off and on real quick I could take one picture. So here they are.

Austin's first day of 8th grade. But more excited about football season starting.
Cara's first day of 4th grade. We are really lucky. She has her Aunt Heather again this year.
Can you tell she loves to have her picture taken.


Courtney's first day of 6th grade. She was so nervous with the whole locker thing. But seems to be loving it so far.

So the first day of school for the rest of the kids was hard on the twins. They woke up ate thier breakfast, got dressed and wanted to go to school. They sat with thier backpacks on most of the day. At one point they even tried leaving for the school. So I decide to call Erin and see if she would meet us at the Surf N Slide on tuesday. We had a lot of fun with Erin and Cami. So laid back with only two kids and there wasn't to many people there. I could of stayed there all day.

Ok so now for the twins first day of Kindergarten. They walked into the school and just waved. I had already told the teacher I was going to have a harder time than the boys. So she let me come in for a little while. Didnt help that a parent asked me if I was crying. Then I lost it. Brent even went with us. I think he even had a hard time. I have had a kid home for 14 years. So it is really wierd that it is so quite at home.

The sad part is I cried most of the day. I even went to Wal-Mart and when the checker asked me how I was doing today, I CRIED! I know, I am a nerd. But I do truely enjoy my kids. It is a load house but its my home.

Caon's first day of Kindergarten.

The long walk to school. ;)

The big blue slide. I have taken all my kids pictures here on thier first day of kindergarten.

I just love Cason's face on this one.

As for how the twins first day went. They were spent. Cason came home with a headache. Cason also said "Mom, School is so not cool!" I think they liked the second day better.
