Can you believe this is the last week of summer. I love fall best of all but I cant believe it is already almost here. Time to make sure we have our jeans and stuff out. We could wake up one morning and it only be in the 50's crazy.

Entry for August 27, 2006

Happy birthday Josh!!!
I am so glad we have such a nice sweet dog. She is a little hyper but all in all a very good gentle dog. She lets Faith pull on her and just lays their as you can see. Very good dog to have around kids. Faith is moving all over the house grabbing everything off of the floor. The other night Ben or Brandon dropped some corn on the floor. (Guess who found it) and if you walk past a plant or tree she can reach she will rip part of it off and stick it in her mouth.
Well the boys are doing pretty good with Josh being gone they actually havent given me too hard of a time yet. I think Josh was a little upset that the boys didnt really mind that Josh was leaving. But the more he is gone the easier it becomes for them to deal with it. And actually I am glad they werent throwing fits cause I really didnt want to deal with that.
My next challenge is trying to get 2 little boys a surprise party and keep it a surprise. Their big gift is a swingset for the backyard but I have to have them out of here so it can be put together so hopefully with Jamies help keeping the kids away and my mom, dad, Mark, and my brother putting it together and me decorating I hope it can all come together. And hopefully the weather will cooperate. Wish me luck if all works out hopefully I will have some awesome pictures to post next weekend.

Here are Ben and Faith playing on the kitchen floor while I am preparing our dinner for tonight. I have to do things early and make things easier for me at night. Now with soccer and swimming lessons. And then Josh goes and puts a wrench into my whole day. He calls me about 11 am and tells me that he has to leave for 2 weeks for the military TOMORROW. UMMMM hello I have two bdays coming up next weekend. Ok so now I am stressed and their big gift was suppose to be a swingset that Josh and a couple of people were going to put together for us next Friday now I dont know what I am going to do.
I guess first thing I am going to do is go bury my head in my pillow and have a good cry. No I wont be posting a picture of that.

Here is Ben waiting for the school bus on his first day of preschool. He was so excited he got right up on the bus like a big boy and smiled the whole time. And when he came back again he had that great big smile. He is so excited. Atleast I had Faith here with me to hold back the tears. Both my little boys off too school. They loved it so that helps.
We had a relaxing weekend this weekend trying to get back on a schedule. They were both so overwhelmed and exhausted that they both took a nap this weekend. The got up at the crack of dawn this morning ready to start another week. Wish me luck this week school, soccer and swimming lessons. Here we go.

This was Brandons first day of kindergarten. He barely slept he was up in my room atleast 4 times that I remember. He was very nervous but also excited. We walked him to school and he was ready to go. I was more nervous then he was I almost cried but held it back.
I almost also cried when I went back to pick him up and the car pick up line went on forever. This is gonna be fun to do everyday. They gave up little color coated cards until we all get use to doing this. And they get use to knowing each parent.
When he got home he was so exhausted he could have laid down and took a nap but we dont want to get use to that. A few more days of this scedule and he will be fine. If anything I will just put him to bed a little earlier. Now comes trying to juggle soccer 2 to 4 times per week, swimming twice a week and homework. May take a while but we will get it.
