More about our family.

People said they wanted to hear more of what we are doing.
So I figured I would make ya'll happy.
Well I start the day around 3am, new side effect of being prego.
Read scriptures, personal prayer, start a load of laundry, and a load of dishes.
Then pick up the house. If I am really lucky I get to take a nap around 5 until 7.
Then it is get the kids up and ready for school, with breakfast, family scripture, family prayer.
Off to school and work for every one but me and Brady.
Brady and I putter all day, we try to go to Aerobics every other day, and clean up one thing each day. Then we play and nap. Then every one comes home.
Ryan has had homework every night. He really like using the computer at school everyday. He is still working on his blue belt in TKD. He is really into playing Star Wars on the computer and loves the xbox if he gets the chance.
Kathryn has come home with homework everyday also. She loves her class and is so excited to go. She has friends everywhere, and usually wants to go play everyday after school. Unfortunately we are still trying to get everything done. So she doesn't get to go play as often as she wants to.
Jonathan comes home with a good story every day from school. The first day he would only talk about the computer and how it had his name on it. The second day he told me he was the best kid in his class. Which one of his classmates confired by telling his mom Jonathan didn't get into trouble at all. He really likes his teacher and is happy to go to school everyday.
Brayden wanders around the house looking for someone to play with. We just discovered that he is the only child left on the street during the day. Every one else is gone. He likes playing outside and helping mom. We are getting lots done.
Mike is working hard. He is trying to get things done to work on the PMP certification. His job doesn't seem to realize that he just got out of school and doesn't want to do anymore learning for a while. He is really missing cable as football season is starting and he can't watch the games at home.
I am just planning, scheduling and trying to keep up with everyone and all the things that i have to attend. I am looking forward to next month when I can cancel everything and go no where for a while. I just realized last night that I had better get ready for this baby. Because if she came right now I would be in so much trouble. Now where near ready. I think we have 2 outfits that would fit her. The doc. was messing with me last night and said the heart beat was slow, was I sure that it wasn't a boy. I could have hit him. Other than that things are merrily rolling along.

Our Poor House

So it still stands that my kids can find trouble. Yesterday Brayden was knocking on the window to get the yard peoples attention. He broke the pane of glass. Now we have a broken window. Needless to say it's always somethings.

All of the kids are loving school. Jonathan comes home everyday with a new story to tell me. Katie is doing great, she is excited about her job at school. Ryan is even starting out with a good year. So far we are off to a great start. We just need to get a little less busy or better organized at night. Barely have time to do the minimum.

Tae Kwando

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.
