Sorry some of the pictures are sideways...but I cannot figure out how to change them.
I wanted to post the happenings leading up to the New Jersey Shore trip since it has been so long since I've posted photos and since there is a ton of pictures from the trip.
Heston was a pro at soccer. This was his first time/year playing and he really liked it. He was the leader of the team and the coach told me to "play him up an age group" next year so he can have a little more competition. He is signed up for fall baseball which will start in a few weeks. He is doing great!
Katelyn is still taking piano. At her lesson last week, she learned a whole song perfectly and her teacher said that no one she has ever taught that song to has learned it in one lesson. She is doing great and loving it. She is excited about 1st grade and this summer has really learned how to swim well. She is completely independent and can dive to get things in the deep end without any help. I am proud of her. She is also signed up for her first year of softball, she is a little hesitant but is willing to try. I hope she finds a sport she is passionate about to help keep her active and exercising. (Jean: the book with a "K" you got her, holds her "wedding dress designs") She is very creative and has a real imagination. One day this summer she told Grandsherry about a dress she" saw in her head" and basically walked her through how to make it. They did-she got a dress made out of formal dinner napkins.
Josh has started 6th grade and the youth group at church. He is doing well and is excited. He has a locker (with combination) and was so proud he could open it on the 1st day when others were struggling. He helps the girls around him with their lockers too-Jon gives him a hard time with that one. So far he hasn't complained about anything middle school has thrown at him.
Jon is working a lot of over-time, and will soon start working out of town. It has its pros and cons. He is well and looking forward to FOOTBALL season.
I am fine. I am ready for cooler weather as my a/c in the Tahoe is out and the transmission in the Explorer is out too, so we are having to prioritize what gets fixed first! Jon drives his little black truck full time now.
All is well with the us and we are trying to get back into a schedule (which is full) with the start of school. I will do a separate post in a few days with more pictures
