I wanted to take a moment to solute the soliders in Iraq and Afghanistan that are fighting to keep us safe.

The kids are loving school so far. John has already made tons of friends in his class. And Gavin thinks preschool is "so awesome."I am also loving the time I have been getting to do all my normal chores, laundry, house cleaning, and dishes.

Last weekend after Steven got off work we made the 2 1/2 hour trip up to Dallas, TX. When we got there we headed stright to Midieval Times. The kids loved it and it was a great family activity. We got to travel back in time to the days of knights and kings and princesses.

I just got back from a 2 week trip to Utah to visit family. We had so much fun! However, I was so excited to get back to Texas. The best part of all was to see my gorgous husband, Steven. He unfortantally wasn't able to make the trip because he had to work. The kids and I really missed him. I was also glad to see my baby, Buddy our dog.

Jennie and the boys are on vacation in Utah for a couple of weeks so the responsibility of posting a blog has fallen to me. As you can see I am not very good at it.

So I asked Steven to air out the inflatable waterslide that we have for the boys and roll it up and put it away. Of course in order to air it out he had to blow it up.
