I'm A Slacker!












Were did the time go? I'm not sure what happened but here we are! It's been a busy few months here is a quick update!
 In August all the kids went back to school-I always have mixed feelings about this! Matthew is in the 9th grade Mckay the 6th, Marcus the 5th and Madelynn is a Big 1st grader! That leaves me home alone during the day-what a change that has been! Madelynn was super excited to go to school and even more excited to not have to go to daycare anymore-Lucky girl! She now gets on the bus with the boys and comes home with them. This was a BIG adjustment for her- She struggled for the first month and half-she would say "going to school is such a long day!" She would be so tired and grumpy at the end of the day.  Madelynn is doing much better now and is finally use to it! Madelynn is taking gymnastics and Dance which she is really enjoying! I'm still working at the Dialysis Center 3 days a week which is giving me something today during the day! Jake has been so busy this Summer- I dare say it was one of his busiest Summer's ever! Matthew has been working on his Eagle Project-what a chore that was! He refinished a sign up Payson Canyon for the Kiwanis Club-it turned out Great! We are SO proud of him he worked really hard to accomplish this-it's a lot of work.......and we still have to complete the packet of paperwork-ooohh Joy! Mckay has been playing Soccer like a Crazy kid!! His team is finally done until Spring- Yeah! The are about middle of there league again so in  Spring they will have finals- will have to see how they do! Mckay also just got done playing flag football-which he really enjoyed! He was great at it and scored countless touchdowns! He just loves sports! Marcus has been playing soccer on an accelerated team this fall which he has loved! He has such a cute little team. Marcus is the goalie about half the game and sometimes the stress of it all gets to him. He is a good little player! Marcus likes to watch Real Salt Lake he will tell you all about them if you just ask......This last Summer was great! Jake took Matthew and a group of boys on a back-packing trip. We camped a lot at my parents property. We took a few little trips.  We also got to spend some time at our friends beautiful Cabin at Scofield-thanks Websters for inviting us! We had a good summer! All in all things are going good! Were getting super excited for the upcoming Holidays! We have a HUGE surprise for our kids this Christmas-Hope I can wait to Surprise them...........I kinda want to tell them! Cross your fingers for me that I can hold out!!!
