Ok....so I really rather this board over our page on FB.....sooooo...I'm gonna post here!
Let's see...what's up with us? Thomas started 1st grade on Friday!!! Andrew goes to MDO 2 days a week now, one with my friend in her home and 1 at our church. At first I felt guilty about the 2nd day, because Thomas only went 1 day till 3 years old, but you know what....it's cheaper than therapy or prescription anxiety medication! I just need that time to regroup myself/the house....it's definitely necessary for me. He did great today with my friend, he even napped on a mat for 2 hrs! I did NOT think he would nap on that mat but he did, with no problem!! Other than that we've been busy with home projects, garage cabinets, sprucing up Thomas' room, purging purging and more purging/organizing! Looking forward to cooler weather, this 115 heat index is horrible! Sooooo....what else is up?? -------------------- Naomi, Wife to Tim & Mommy to Thomas (7) and Andrew (2)

Wow... I thought we started school early. Ashley starts on Tuesday.
Sounds like you have been busy! You can come here and purge some of our stuff if you want. LOL -------------------- |

Wow ... Wow!! My kids do not start school until September!! And I am looking forward to it, as I will have my MARY time again ... I love those little rascals more than life itself, but I really need time - although I haven't tried any anxiety meds .... that is likely in the future!!
Erin goes to kindergarten this year ... again! ![]() We just had our house re-done with new vinyl siding. It went from old gray to new tan. Looks so great. Now we can landscape and replace the deck that had to be torn down ... probably next year. ![]() I like Facebook convenience but also like this format much better. It is easier to read. But the times, they are a changin' everywhere. -------------------- |

We started school today, Alyssa started 2nd grade and we L O V E her teacher I have known her most of my life (we go to the same church) and she was Autumn's sunday school teacher in the two year old room.
Autumn got her first hair cut yesterday ![]() ![]() I start teaching mission friends a week from tomorrow it's a 3-5 year old class where we teach them about missionaries around the world, learn a bible verse and do a craft that helps us learn our bible verse and about our missionary that week. I'm pretty excited and nervous! I definitely know what you mean about the heat index Naomi.. its been around 110 - 115 here as well... which is MISERABLE and seriously if my hair gets any frizzier I'm gonna completely give up! Have I mentioned how much I LOVE p90x We need to livin' this place up!!! Remember when we use to talk about meeting up? -------------------- |

MDO sounds heavenly to me ~ we've never done that but I kind of wish we had. It would have helped my sanity a lot! I don't know why I've never thought of it.
![]() We're going to homeschool again this year. Scott has to start going to the school every day starting on the 29th, and school starts the day after labor day, so I'll start school with Andrew then. I'm planning on doing a couple pre-school books with Allie again too. I haven't even gone online to look for Andrew's books yet- I should probably do that soon. ![]() ![]() We've been keeping busy trying to get our house organized, plus we've made 3 trips back to my parents house so that Dh could help my dad re-shingle his roof. They have a big old farmhouse with a scary steep roof, and they're only about half done. We're hoping to make one more trip back before school starts, and then my dad will be on his own except for when my nephew can help him on the weekends. We're also going on our annual group camping trip with our friends this weekend, so the kids are pretty excited about that. ![]() -------------------- |

Lets see....we are now living in California on Fort Irwin. Its really isolated, but so far I like it alot. Mckaylee started 3rd grade last Thursday and Russell is now in 1st grade. They go to 2 seperate schools which I don't care for. Leithan is no longer an Army recruiter...he is back infantry. We are all healthy and doing well...just getting the new house put together..
We need a trip to Las Vegas ladies... ![]() -------------------- Brianne

For those amazed we're in school already, we got out May 20th....and then they added a 3rd week of Christmas break (which I'm totally against, I'd rather the extra 5 days in the spring), so we've been out a while.
Dee Dee - seriously, if you lived closer I so would come help you! I love purging and organizing....I could do more here if DH wouldn't have a hissy fit! I wish I could get paid to help people do it.....but I don't know if people would actually want to pay me! haha Mary - I bet it feels like a new house!! Seems like it's the year of home improvements! Tons of people I know are doing that this year. My dad just painted, completely re-did his landscaping and added a garage door to their carport. Jessi - seriously....you LOVE p90x? I know one other person who loves it and I think she's crazy besides that....I don't want to think you are crazy too! LOL How was your break from FB? Or are you still on it? I've scaled back my postings but I still look daily. Sara - I have major admiration for Mama's that can homeschool.....hats off to you sister! Just thinking about doing it sends me into a panic attack....guess you either can or you can't and I certainly cannot! Bri - I didn't realize y'all were in Cali. Sounds nice!! I would LOVE a trip to Vegas!!!!!!! Oh man that would be EPIC! (Haha, I hate that word!) -------------------- Naomi, Wife to Tim & Mommy to Thomas (7) and Andrew (2)

We got out on the 26... i can't imagine having school during June that would be TORTURE for us! I think we are actually getting out a couple days earlier this year since we wont have a WHOLE week at thanksgiving, that was NOT fun! Oh yes I LOVE P90x its AMAZING! But remember I was a dancer and that is MUCH harder than p90x. This post has been edited by A&A'smommy on Aug 10 2011, 09:56 AM -------------------- |

Sounds like everyone is busy
![]() Kylie and Megan start school August 22. Kylie will be in 3rd and Megan in 1st. I'm scared about Megan going into 1st more so than I was when she started kindy. I truly hope we have a HEALTHIER school year this year, as last school year was too traumatic for me. ![]() We've been camping as much as we can all summer long. We are going again on Friday for a float trip with the kids. Ryan is completely nervous about tubing with the kids, but for once I'm not. ![]() ![]() Kylie is having an early birthday camp trip next weekend, but luckily it's close to home, since we'll only be home 2 days from the float trip before this one. We hope to go camping several more times before Halloween. ![]() Otherwise, nothing going on with us. I'm not ready for all the sports and activities to start back up, that's for sure. I've been enjoying this time off from them. Kylie starts back up on piano September 8 and I convinced her to wait until winter to start soccer. ![]() ![]() Ryan got a motorcycle a few months ago and him and I have been enjoying it to its fullest. We haven't had one since we were 17, so it's nice to get back on and ride. I'm thinking about getting my license and learn to ride as soon as things slow down.

Well lets just say we're trying it again this year and we'll see about next year. ![]() ![]() 3 weeks at Christmas is a lot! I think I'd rather have the time in the spring too. School here starts the day after labor day and ends the first week of June. Getting out in May sounds nice but I don't think I'd like the earlier start date much... it feels to me like summer is just getting started. ![]() This post has been edited by ~Roo'sMama~ on Aug 10 2011, 05:44 PM -------------------- |

We don't start until Sept 1st either.
Tanner is going into 4th. He's excited about his teacher that he'll have. On his school supply list was a flash drive. A FLASH DRIVE, people!!! Ugh...things sure are different these days.
