So the count down to back to school is on. With that comes the change in background. I know that the kids and I are ready for school to start. Yes, all of my kids have nerves about starting school but they all adjust quickly.
This year I decided to give them each a small amount of money and tell them to shop for themselves but that is all they can have for new shoes and clothes. Rebecca did the best by far. Meet the teacher is scheduled for next Thursday and then school starts the following Monday, August 10th.
Other then getting ready for school there is nothing too exciting to report. We did not take a big vacation or make an long trips this summer. We did a few little day trips early on before it got too hot and now we are just waiting for things to cool off. Yesterday I reached week 29 and am counting down to the arrival of our little one. There still is so much decluttering that needs to be down before she arrives but I have come to grips with the fact that it just is not going to get done. Not a big priority on anyone list of things to do. Big Joe is working on finding and buying an SUV since the family has outgrown the other cars.

Kiley is too smart
Today after lunch Joe was giving the kids Oreos for a treat and Kiley asked for one in her polite little voice. Once she got her cookie she looked at dad and said she was going to open it. She proceeded to open the cookie and remove the peanut butter creme from the middle and placed the cookies on the table. She then shoved the creme in her mouth are refused to eat the cookies. What is up with that? I thought all kids liked cookies and here I have one that only likes the filling inside the Oreo. Too Cute and Too Smart for her own good! I think I am in trouble with her.
Back to school so soon!
Hi! Its been a long time since I've posted on something that is happening so I thought why not do it now. This summer has been great but it has gone by very fast. The main reason I don't want to go back to school is that mostly ever Thursday Rebecca and I get to go to our cousin's house and spend the night and get to stay the next day till my dad gets out of work on Friday.
It have been lots of fun. This last week we swam for like 4 or 5 hours on Thursday and got so BURNT because we FORGOT to put sunscreen on every hour. And then the next day we swam for like 3 to 4 hours. One day we swam past lunch time and our Aunt was home so she came out and made lunch for us but we had brought snacks and I was full so I skipped lunch. I know that wasn't wise to do but if ate a sandwich I would have barfed so I skipped lunch and then dinner was so ggggggoodddddddddd.
Does anyone have any good advice for me going into fifth grade? I worry that it is going to be hard. Do you have to carry a lot of stuff around? And last but not least Is it hard on the Meet the Teacher {or Teachers} and the first day of school? And I know somethings to expect and I'll tell them to you. It is never sit by a boy unless you really have to, Don't try to make friends if you think you will get in fights, be tough on the boys, & try to be kind to others so you can make lots of friends.

Blog VS Facebook
Between reading what everyone else is doing on Facebook (that I am not) and trying to decide what to write here I think my blog is getting the short end of the stick. For me and my mind, it is so much easier to write a short little post on Facebook then it is to come up with a topic worth writing about, logging in, and then writing it. (Plus I can't be on the computer long before Kiley wants to take over and look at pictures.)
In this post I will share our holiday (July 4th) recap. It started off with a three hour ER visit at 1:30AM. Big Joe had one of his out of control migraines and needed some help. (This was number two for the year.) After getting what he needed from the ER we were about to come home and get about 2 hours of sleep before we had to get up and get ready for breakfast. With Joe working nights we are not able to have the Missionaries over for dinner so we have been having them come over once a month for breakfast since late last year. We ended up have SIX Missionaries over for breakfast at 7AM. We served them waffles, eggs, bacon, sausage, hash browns, and juice. It was a good breakfast. After breakfast we played a couple of rounds of the game It Came to Pass. The Missionaries left just before 9AM to go play soccer. We just kicked back and hung out for the day. Dad slept most of the day. Then at 4PM I started to prepare dinner for us, my parents, and two Missionaries. We did an indoor BBQ. The Missionaries had to be home by 6PM but my parents stayed to watch fireworks with us. We just drove up the street and parked at the High School and watched the City of Surprise's fireworks. It was nice to be close but not have to deal with a huge mass of people. After the fireworks it was home and off to bed. Overall it was a good day.
