Start of school and ending the summer

We went to Oceanside for a week in August and it was amazing.  The extended family is fabulous and we had a great location right near the beach.  The older kids could run back and forth to the condo.  I love going and wish I could talk Lee into going every year.  Walking on the beach and playing board games and just hanging out with nowhere to be.  Perfect weather.  Next time I want to hit up Sea World.

We got back from the beach on a Saturday and then the kids and I  left for Kamiah on Sunday.  I didn't really want to go.    But the kids had a great time playing with their cousins and swimming in the river.  I do wish they could spend more time with their cousins. 

The following week the older kids started school.  Victoria seems to be doing okay but it seems to have been a slight bumpy start for Jake.  They are both doing well in cross county and now Victoria is talking about doing winter cross country.  Jake hasn't decided what he wants to do just yet this winter. I am encouraging him to do something this winter.

Andrew starting school has been overwhelming.  He seems to enjoy being there but the mornings have been a struggle and twice I have left him with the principal and walked out the door with both of us in tears.  Andrew is now attending every day and I am still not sure how I feel about it.

Lee took his annual bike trip last week and his sister came to visit while he was gone.  Once again a mixed bag situation but it was nice to have another adult around.  Nine days was a long time and there was so much going on with activity and two back to school nights for the kids.  Plus working.  We spend a small fortune on babysitting but Lee had a great time.

Feeling all the Feels

Right now I am feeling all the feels. We had such a great week with my nephew and Jake. The house is louder and has more enegy when all four kids are home. And our nephew is seriously one of favoriate people. He lets the boys hand on him and they just look up to him so muchd. So I am writting because I am not sure what else to do at this pount. I have been applying for a job(s) that I have been inspired to do for a long time. I have been really trying to to step upside of my comfort zone and apply for things that I know I can do although I have never done them before. I have been considering doing some writing and writing a book. I have no desire to be published I just want to be able to start being more creative . I have so many fears about so many things. Missy Kay turned 19 today and Andrew had his first tennis meet of the seaon. I am thankful for my people who show up to support and love us. There was this moment at the meet where one of the parents gave me haug aft...

Time to dust this off

L:ong story short I came across something that made we want to add back to this. Not sure why but hwere we go. Life is constantly chaning and I feel so mnuch surround bu death lately. Not diredctly although I fee like that is coming but more just heartbreak for so many around me. Yesterday Victoria quailfied for state. It was an answer to a prayer. I prayed she would qualify and felt strongly she would. As we left her away at the meet she was certain as were we that she hadn't qualified and then the clouds parted and she will be able to run. She told me she prayed that she would have a good last high school race. and her last race was not grea. There were tears. And rears when she called me to tell me she qualified. So rad trip to ther side of teh state next weekend Wednesday Jake is going through the temple. So many mixed feelings for so many reasons. I shouldn't expect people to show up but sometimes it is just so hard when my mom is the only "church...

It has been a week

Here is how the week went Monday: OUr 25th anniversary. I was sick. We went and tried a Cuban restrant not as good as the food we had in Miami but it was good. We love trying new local places. It ended in tears. I won't go into all the details but I am relaizing that this is not the marriage I want. I am open about what I need and we will go from there. Luke started wrestling. Tuesday: End of the year banquent for Luke and Andrew. Luke recevied the "Most Improved" Awared. Here is the thing about that. His coach talked about how during summer practice he wouldn't even run 100 yeards. He would just stop. At some point after the first meet it clicked and he just ran and did what he needed to do. He went up adn accepted the award with such confidence. Wednesday: Both boys had activities. Andrew had stayed home from school due to not felling wel. My guess is he just needed a rest. He was feeling up for going and making pizzas at the Bishop's hous...
