So we have three belt graduates so far this month. Mike and Katie both passed thier belt test and became Red belts. Jonathan passed his test and became an orange belt. We are hoping when Ryan gets home he will be able to test for his Red belt also. Our kids are definately showing signs of bordom. When we ask them to sit they keep bugging each other. We are also in the mists of getting ready for school. very exciting. I have all of our supply shopping done, now it is on to cloths and shoes. These silly kids keep growing.

We spent all day yesterday outside or playing with friends. Mike ripped out a 9 foot tall, 8 foot wide pussy willow bush. It nearly cut both of us to ribbons, as the leaves are very sharp. Instead we both look like we have been in a knife fight. After all that fun Mike helped our neighbor cut down a tree. The kids just played and had a great ole' time. I gave up after cutting the top of the bush off, and supervised the rest of the days activities.

Cleaning

I tell ya what, I keep looking at this house thinking I really need to get rid of stuff so that it stays clean. I really just don't understand how people clean daily. And how they get thier kids to help. Some day I swear I am gonna be the super mom that has great kids and clean house and laundry all done. But for now I guess I will just keep dreaming.

Airlines are crazy

I swear the airlines are trying to make you crazy. Today I took Ryan to the airport to go visit all his grandparents. I stood inline 1.5 hours waiting for 10 people to get through the line. Then I was supprised with a fee. And what did all this get me, nothing, I still got to walk Ryan to his plan and see him take off. I even got a little misty eyed. He is so excited to be flying by himself. My son is growing up.
Today we are just doing laundry. So much fun. Everyone else is just hanging out.

Picture

So I got the picture thing worked out for now we will see if I can do better next time.

Worlds most boring people

You know I have discovered we are the worlds most boring family. There is nothing going on for us right now. Jonathan has his last day of camp today. Ryan is getting ready to fly to Utah on Saturday. He is so excited to be going by himself. Kathryn is still looking for someone to be home to play with. And Brayden is into everything. Yesterday we had a babysitter so I could go to yet another Doc. apt., the children conned her into giving them ice cream at 10 o'clock in the morning. I swear they are still finding ways to get into trouble. We are trying to come up with cool things to do in the last 3 weeks of summer. I can't believe school is that close for us. I feel totally unprepared. It could also be that I am way prego and don't want to do anything. We were sad to say goodbye to some more friends that are leaving for parts unknown yesterday. A little jealous that they are getting out of here. I am soooo tired of sick people, and someone always seems to be sick at our house. So see we are the world most boring people.
