Our Summer

Summer has flew by! I am glad its over though. 100 degree weather everyday was too much for

me. Cant wait for fall. We did have a great summer. Camping, cabin, swimming, playing outside,

Learning to ride bikes with out training wheels, had a birthday, met a new cousin.

 The kids started school Aug 29th. We decided to have them repeat kindergarten. They struggled

through out the year and are only now caught up with the kindergartners going in this year. I

could have held them back last year since there August babies and the youngest but I chose to try it

 out. I'm glad I did because they learned so much being there. This time I separated the two of

them. We learned that Noah is very dependent on his brother in class and always asks him for the

answers or lets him answer for him. I think this will help him to be more confident in doing work

for himself or to answer for himself. Isaiah has also started pre school in his daycare. He will be in

 preschool for 2 years before starting kindergarten. Hes so excited that hes a big kid now like his

 brothers.

Arizona 2016



I decided its been way to long since I have been on a vacation. Its been about 10 years since I

have. Sad but true. And the kids have never been on one other then to my cabin for a weekend.

My parents go to Arizona every year and stay in there condo for a week. So I decided to go with

them. We decided to drive together and just split the gas "saved so much money" Its a long

drive but it was worth it. I took the twins with me this time and left Isaiah with his dad I

figured they could have some nice one on one and it would make things a little easier for the

trip and drive down there. We had such a nice time and our days were filled with fun.

We left Friday and drove down to Mesquite and stayed the night so we could split up the drive.

Saturday we drove the rest of the way got unpacked and went shopping for the week. I love the

condos there like apartments. I obviously took a lot of photos and wont put them all in here but

here are some from our trip.
