The Six of Us

I miss the kids.  They have been back to school a whole week and I have missed them so much.  I am so out of a schedule but in the next few weeks it will get better.  My mom's group starts Thursday and then preschool starts the Wednesday after. Library story time a week after. So for the next few weeks the little boys and I are hitting up as many parks as possible..  I think it will be good once all the fall things start "falling" into place plus it will be just in time for the weather getting colder so less park weather. Jake will start soccer soon and I just signed Victoria up for a great program called "Girls on the Run".  So that will be Tuesday and Thursdays.  Life is just getting busier but it is good.  Kids have really started out the year well. We are heading to Kamiah on Friday so lots to do this week.  Packing and cleaning.  I really have a hard time coming home to a dirty house.  So I try and clean more then normal right before we leave.

Started this post a while ago but forget to post it.  Andrew turned three.  Our crazy Andrew who we were never sure we were ever going to get, turned three.  He loves life.  He wanted to do everything the big kids do.  He is mostly happy although is struggling at tiimes to get along with his little brother.  Probably going to be a life time struggle.  But for the most part they get along well.  Andrew is running all over and LOVES swinging on the swings.  He loves laughing and has this deep belly laugh.  He enjoys watching the "Mother Goose" on Netflix and can't go to bed without stars.  He recently has taken to wanting to wear his older siblings clothes to bed.  Speaking of bed he doesn't like to stay in his own room at night.He calls Victoria "Toria"   He has really been such a joy to in our lives since he was born.  The terrible twos were so terrible but the threes are starting to have some moments.  We love our silly high energy crazy Andrew John. 

The last ten days have been crazy.  Last Friday-Sunday we went to visit family iin Kamiah.  Cousins had a great time running around.  Lee had a great time running around like a kid with his brother.  I got to play Capture the Flag for the first iin forever.  Even Andrew played.  Monday I took the older kids and my neice to Lagoon.  It was a scary ride down there.  I blew a tire driving 80 miles an hour down the free way.  Two angels stopped and changed my tire and I can never ever repay them.  But after two expensive tires we made it to Lagoon.  We had a blast.  However, I never got to ride the newest roller coaster but Jake did twice and really enjoyed it.  We stayed in a really nice hotel that I am certain we would have never stayed at if it wasn't for the fact it was free.  Thanks to bad customer service the last time we stayed there.  We came home and a few days later then Lee's sister and her daughter and his brother and family came to stay.  I had to work all weekend bu
