Austin's thoughts on his first day back to school

Austin started first grade yesturday. I asked him what he thought about it and he said, " It's awesome!." Later on he told me that they had three recesses. He was very excited as they had "hundreds" of monkey bars which he told me he could go all the way to the other "thing." He was excited about seeing his old friends from last year( his class is 17 old kids and 3 new kids) He said they were called "new students." He's not sure what his teachers name is, (its Mrs. Huen) but he said that she was nice, so far. I asked him how he liked eating lunch at school, he said that there was some yummy stuff in his lunch (good job mom) . But then last night he had to check with me and make sure that I made him another lunch, "because I ate all mine today, mom."
I can't wait to see what this school year brings.

Jason turns 32

I can't believe its the middle of July already! Where has the summer gone? Jason turned 32 on Tuesday and we all went to his favorite buffet for dinner. He has been to two concerts this weekend as a gift to himself for his birthday. Jason and I will be going to Fontana for the Nascar race as my gift to him. And we get a night away together!

Austin starts school on Monday and I am in shock that he is in first grade, already. A little sad too:(

Austin lost his top tooth, and the other one is super loose too

I am looking forward to vacation and fall! I am getting ready for pumpkins and crisp air and apples. I still want to enjoy the summer weeks ahead but with Austin starting school it just makes me excited for those things too

I should have some tomatoes from my garden ripe coming up soon. I NEVER thought I could grow things. its amazing

July Update

HI

well its HOT! so hot that we are in the pool every day and its nice and a warm 83 degrees ( too warm for some, never for me!)

I wanted to post a quick hi to all so I could share my new blog. I have been trying to work on this and get it just "perfect" so since that's not happening any time soon I am going to add some recent pictures and sign off. We have had some wonderful weekends the past few weeks.

I am so blessed with such a wonderful family and friend network

I am trying to upload all my pictures and share them on snapfish, my camera is back from the shop and I am so excited! We spent some time with baby Will and its nice to remember that all my three were once that small and it makes tears come to my eyes, I am unsure if they are tears of joy or saddness

talk to all soon

Jeddi & family
