1st Day of School for the girls!!

BACK TO SCHOOL

CLASS OF 2022

Kendall started Kindergarten today!!! She was so excited. She even woke up on her own before 7am. That is so not like Kendall. I can't wait to hear all about her day when she gets home.

CLASS OF 2013

Carey started her freshman year in high school this morning. She was excited and nervous at the same time. But I just chatted with her on the computer and everything was going well. I can hardly believe she is already in high school. It seems like just yesterday I was walking her into her kindergarden class. She is growing up way too fast. We will be sending her off to college before I know it. I can't even think about that yet.

Busy Week

This past week has been a pretty busy week. Carey has either been at volleyball practice or a volleyball game. And, we have been getting ready for back to school. We have had Freshman orientation for Carey and also a meeting for the Mac laptops they are issuing all the students in high school. And Kendall got to her meet her teacher on Friday afternoon. She will be in Ms. Hummel's class this year. She is only one of four girls in the class. I'm told all the Kindergarten classes are like that this year. I think she'll have a great year.

On Thursday, the kids and I got up early and headed to the San Marcos outlet Mall. The outlet mall has always been a hit or miss with me. I will either find no bargains or a lot. We had good luck though. Kendall and Jett got new tennis shoes plus some clothes for the fall. Jett's foot is now bigger than Kendall's. I think he is going to be a big boy. Everyone usually thinks he is at least 4...until he starts sucking his thumb. Then he looks like a big baby!! ha! Oh well...the dr. says not the worry about it yet. Anyway, Carey got some cute things while we were shopping too. I think her and Kendall are set for school for a while.

That's what we have been up to this week. Today, Kendall has a birthday party and Jett is going to Papaws and Grammy Jo's for a couple of hours. Then they will probably go swimming.

This weekend we were at Canyon Lake camping. The lake is about 15 ft low but there is still are a few boat ramps open to put the jet skis in the water one last time for the summer. Our good friends, Mike and Gwen and their kids, Sheldon, Mikah, and Grayson came from Brownwood too. We enjoyed visiting and catching up with them. We jet skied, swam, rode bikes and just relaxed watching the kids. On Saturday Molly, Robert, Bobby, Andy, and Jenny came with there jet ski to join the fun. Gosh...those boys LOVE the jet skis. Then on Saturday evening we grilled burgers for everyone. We did pretty much the same thing on Sunday until it was time to pack up and leave. We thought Carey had volleyball practice on Monday morning so we planned on coming home Sunday night....but about the time everything was put away and packed up, Carey got a text that said she did not have practice until 4 pm on Monday. :( Oh Well!! We had a great time camping and are looking forward to a trip in the fall somewhere in the Hill Country. PS: I still did pretty good on my diet...even with Molly waving brownies and cookies in front of me.

Today is the day!!

Ok...about a year and a half ago I dieted and lost about 15 pounds. I was so happy with myself. I was the weight I was when Rick and I got married. But lately I have been sooo bad. It seems like I have been eating everything in site. We have been on camping trips to the lake, river, and beach and who wants to watch what they eat on vacation. So TODAY IS THE DAY that I am getting serious again. I am going to cut the sugar and carbs and hopefully I will be successful in losing about 10 pounds. I am also going to exercise using the Wii Fit. I plan on using the blog to post my progress. Not that anyone really cares...but in my mind I will be accountable to something. It is too easy to fall off the wagon when I am not. This weekend will be a real test because we are going camping at the lake again. But I am determined...at least right now.

Wish me luck!!!! :)

It seems like we have been pretty busy lately. Carey started her 2 a day volleyball practices last Monday and she also had her 1st games this past weekend. They were just scrimmages so we didn't keep score but it was good practice for them. And today we went to Luling to watch her play again. Sad to say...they lost. :( They did pretty good though..lost the 1st game, won the 2nd and lost the 3rd in a close game. Carey did well and I'm sure they will all improve before the season is done. I think they have about 22 games left to go. Yeah!!! I LOVE VOLLEYBALL!!!


School starts on Aug. 24th so Carey, Kendall, and I went to SA on Friday to do a little shopping. We also went to Target for school supplies for Kendall. They need a ton of stuff.


And today I tried taking pictures of the kids together which is nearly impossible!!! Jett just does not cooperate. He is always looking away at something other than the camera. Hopefully when he gets a little older he will do better.
