Why

Is September so busy?  Seriously.  I guess I have never really noticed before how things pick up in the fall.  But with preschool, swimming, dance and speech (yes we got in HOORAY), there is always so much to do.

Anyways.  This is my current favorite singers

I love her voice.  And how they show you EVERYTHING they are doing.  The first one is my favorite.  (Don't judge me there it just is).  They have video blogs at the end of the songs.  You don't have to watch those.     Happy listening. 

P.S.  I really REALLY want one of their shirts.  They show it at the end of the first video

First of all I hate the editor.  It is moving my pictures wonky and adding spaces all over.  Then it saves it like that.  aghhh.boo


Who are these goofy kids?

Abbi felt very left out in this situation sooooo.

I think I will keep them

In other news Abbi and I had a date...at the pool

Our family was in the pool.  Yes we started swimming lessons

They had a lot of fun, but Trev said the pool was SOOO COLD! So they took some much needed time in the hot tub afterwards.

Lizzy has turned 4.  and so she has started preschool.  I had my brother Matt watch the other kids so I could drop her off.  We got there a little bit early and had to wait to go in.  The kids in her class were all excited and kept asking if they could go in yet.  The teacher finally opens the door and says " who would like to come in"  With that Lizzy says "ME!" and runs into the room. 

No look back. no hug good bye, no wave or nod.

  The other mothers had an array of clinging to legs and kisses on cheeks.  While they assured their kids that they would be back soon. 

I looked into the room where Lizzy was already pulling out toys she wanted to play with and left.  I tried to decide if I was hurt that she had just left me like that, abandoned in the hall all alone.  But decided that it is better that she is so independant and excited to go.

Abigail has turned 1.

We aren't walking yet but my kids are always late.  she says " ah-no" and "Ah-Da" and "Mamama".  She just got her 4th tooth but on the top she got one middle one and then the one on the other side?.  Weirdo.

She is kind of bossy.  She also knows how to work it.  She will be crawling towards you then lay down on her stomach and reach her arms out and whine.  As if to say "This is so hard mommy just pick me up"

Samuel is a goof.  We still aren't talking much.  He babbles now but most of it I can't figure out what he is saying.  I am hoping that he will be through the wait list for speech soon.

He was in a time out on the stairs.  He puts his hands over his eyes so you can see how sad he really is.  Also so he can peek and see if you are watching him cry or not. 

He plays so hard. ALL. THE. TIME

Sometimes he just crashes. 

I have been on a blogging summer vacation

And I loved it.  but secretly missed it.  We have spent a lot of time out this summer.
Heritage Park, Calaway Park, the Zoo, the Lake and we just discovered the new playground here in Walden.  We have played in our yard that we put in, and went to Wyoming to see Stepehn who just got home from Brazil.  We have made ltos of plans and had a lot of fun.

Lizzy turned four and we borrowed a friends bounce house. Abbi just turned 1. 

Sam totally biffed up his face at the park the other night and it is all my fault.  He was on the swing and  was grabbing his knees when he would swing forward.  So he let go to protect his knees from me and fell off when the swing swung back.  I laughed ...then felt bad about it.

Abbi has started to stand on her own but hasn't taken a step.  Lizzy start preschool and dance this upcoming week.  and Lizzy and Sam are doing swimming lessons. 

I canned by myself for the first time.  I did salsa.  Hopefully it is good. 

Trevor went on a man trip to Egypt lake to go fly fishing, and is really enjoying working for Cooperators.  give him a call if you need insurance (shameless plug...)

Things have been great.  Hopfully there will be more blogging too because we fixed the desktop.
