Time For School!!!!!





It's that time of year again! Time for school to start. :(

Actually, the beginning of school went VERY well. We started on August 20th, half days and then on August 25th we started full days. Jessica has had cheer practice last week in preparation of "Meet the Hornets" night at school. All of the girls performed wonderfully!

After "Meet the Hornets", the Cheerleaders hosted a school dance. Of course, Jessica didn't want me to chaperone, but Michelle, the JV cheer sponsor asked if I would work the refreshment counter. Jess just had to deal with it.

Alyssa spent the evening with her dad until we got back, even though she was none too pleased that I would be spending the evening with her sister.

It is now the Labor Day weekend and tonight we have a friend of Alyssa's and a friend of Jessica's spending the night. The girls got to swim in the pool and then had hotdogs from the grill. I think they are all tired from last night so maybe it will be an early bedtime..........I can only hope!!



Jessica got her contacts on Thursday. She wasn't able to wear them on Friday since she could only wear them for a couple of hours so she had to start all over on Saturday. She was able to get them in to her eyes fairly quickly and figured out how to get them out so when she goes back to the eye doctor on Friday, she'll be able to go home with her "real" contacts.........I am just sooooo proud of her!!!!

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I am so far behind on writing on my blog and summer vacation is over and school has started!!!!!!! The girls and I went on vacation last week to Galveston Island and stayed at the San Louis hotel, which Jessica only just recently stopped calling it the St. Luis. Donna and Brianna met us there and stayed at the same hotel. The first day, we stopped off at the beach and built sand castles. The second day we went to Moody Gardens Palm Beach and the rest of the time we spent at the hotel pool which was just beautiful! Check out our you tube site at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BMsLX68qNM for the "Waterfall Video". School started on Wednesday this week for half days. Papa picked the kids up from school since Nana is still in Alaska......we really miss her!! She has been gone for 2 weeks and should be back by Tuesday morning. We went to "Meet the Teachers" this week and got to see which teachers Jessica was going to have

As of Sunday, I am officially the mother of a teenager. Wow! I can only hope that the next 5 years go as smoothly as the first 13 did. I can also hope that I don't get paid back for Glenn's wild teenage years. From what I understand, they were doozies!! We celebrated Jessica's big 13th birthday with a family party on Sunday. We had hoped that we would have had enough warm weather to warm the pool up for swimming, but it's been on the cool side during the nights and so the pool was no where near being warm enough to swim in. Well, except for crazy Alyssa who cannon-ba lled into the pool. Jessica got Band Hero for her birthday Alyssa loves to play guitar but even more than that, she loves to sing. I think this is her "Rock Band" face. One of the other things Jessica got for her birthday was a pitching net. Last weekend, we spent Easter at my sister's house and my girls hid Easter eggs for Ethan and Ryan. .......And last but not least......Meet the newest

We've Been Robbed!!

The girls and I got home today around 5:00 pm, pulled the car into the garage and then unloaded the groceries that I had picked up earlier. I left the garage door opened as I have every day since I can remember. Around 6:30, we heard tires screeching outside and both girls ran down the stairs to see what it was that was making that horrible sound. We went outside and saw the tire tracks on the street but no cars that we could see. About 2 minutes later, I got a call from Glenn on his cell phone and he said that he was chasing down a truck that had been in front of our house loading up the stuff from the garage! He lost them going into an apartment complex near the house. He said they looked pretty cruddy and they were in an old beat up white truck but he couldn't get close enough to get the license plate number. They stole Glenn's electric saw, his new weed eater and his leaf blower that wasn't working very well (too bad!). I am just so glad that he pulled up when
