Starting Off With A Bang!

It seems like we dove right into the start of the school year head-first.

We have already had a lot of homework, tests, dance practices, spirit week, football games to dance for at SAS, open house at Jersey Village, Meet the Hornets night, attended Grease-The Musical at JV, and Parent/Teacher Conferences are coming up at both schools - just to name a few of our activities.

And, might I add, that Jessica was asked to the Homecoming dance and we were out shopping for a dress this weekend. We found a beautiful one!

Texas has been plagued by one of it's worst droughts in history. We've had many wild fires pop up all around us but I think our wonderful firefighters have contained most of them. I've been trying to do my part to help our little feathered friends by providing water. We've had a few rain showers over the past month but not enough to make a dent in our rainfall measurements.

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

Today was picture day at school for the girls. I took Alyssa to get her hair cut yesterday so that it would look nice for today. Jessica had hers cut a couple of weeks ago and it still looked rather good. I put foam curlers in Alyssa's hair last night and she had big fat curls in her hair this morning. I hope the pictures turn out nice. The photographer took one of both girls together and I think that one should turn out really cute. I still need to make Alyssa a follow-up appointment at the doctor for her UTI. She finished her antibiotics on Sunday so it's time to be retested. I just found out that Jessica's football game tomorrow was canceled so hopefully I can get the appointment for tomorrow after school. Jessica is due for her 3rd Guardasil shot and both are due for their flu shots. I don't think they'll be very happy about that.

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
