My Boys

I love watching my boys play their sports. After our neighborhood started a little soccer league, I finally convinced Kolter and Karsten that they should play. Ever since Kyler decided he didn't like soccer at age 5, he has told everybody else that they don't like soccer either, and they haven't wanted to play...until now. They are loving it, and I am loving watching them. So now not only do we get to go to Ky's football games on the weekend, we have the little boys' soccer games on Wednesday nights. Something tells me this is just the beginning...

Lil' Red

After almost three weeks in a splint, when the swelling finally went down on Kenzlie's broken arm, Dr. Chamberlain decided she needed a cast. When they were all out of pink and purple casting material, we decided to go for red, since after all, Kenz is Lil' Red, her nickname coined by Grandpa Nev. Two weeks down in the cast, and two more weeks to go. Luckily, Kenzlie hasn't really been bothered much by her cast, and since it's waterproof, I haven't either.

Kambrie started choir at her school this week. She seems excited about it. I'm glad she wanted to do it since she hasn't wanted to do anything else.

Kolter and Karsten started a neighborhood soccer program this week-their first time playing soccer. They both like it, pretty much anyway. Kolter was a little mad because he thinks Karsten is better than he is. Poor Kolt is always so hard on himself and never gives himself credit for anything. When he was supposed to turn in his homework for the first time this year, he told his teacher he forgot it because he knew his self written sentence wasn't perfect.

Kyler had his first football game yesterday. They played Moapa Valley and domintaed them. All these years later it still feels good when Moapa gets beat since they were one of our biggest rivals at White Pine High. Kinda funny.

Back to School 2011

Somebody please tell me, where did the summer go? I know summer usually flies by, but this summer seemed to go by quicker than ever, and before I knew it, we were heading back to school. As you can see from the picture, Kyler was not thrilled with the thought of being back in school and "wasting his whole day." Kambrie was excited to go back, and Kolter was too, at least for the first three days anyway. Karsten is loving preschool and everyday he wakes up and asks if it's his school day.

Not only did the kids head back to school, but believe or not, so did I. Yep, I am a college student again, going to finish what I started fifteen years ago and get my Bachelors Degree in Elementary Education. The first week was a little overwhelming, and I literally wasn't sure how I would be able to do it. After the second week, I am feeling a bit better about it though, and although I still know that it won't be easy and that it's going to take a lot of organization and staying on task so I don't ever get behind (on school work and everything else in my life), I know I can do it, and I will.
