First Day of school

So I may be a week late in posting this....but better late than never....plus most of you are just finding out this place. So its ok...right ?

Ok Emily started 5th grade this year- she started the 19th. She is so excited about all her friends...and one little cutie named "B"....thats really all she cared about. Sad how fast she is growing up & those boys that were gross are now all that matter ! She is going to be in band & orchestra this year- she will play the Saxaphone & Violin. I will post pics of her with her instruments later.

Here she is on her first day

Micheal & Katie started school the following day....trust me there was teasing involved !

Micheal is a ...ok this is hard for me to type.... A SENIOR....as in his last year of high school ! WOW ! Where did it go ?? He is taking 2 college classes this year- English & Speech. He is so excited about his English class & loves it. He is excited about what all they have to read this year. YEA ! I wrote out the checks to the college this morning for his classes & books. Told him if he fails them he has to pay me back ! I know he will ace them both. He is planning on staying here for at least 1-2 years to go to the community college here in GI.We told him as long as he is working & going to school he may live here...with rules of course. He was shocked- he thought he HAD to leave when he graduated ! He has been dating his girlfriend for 3 months now. She is a sweety & is going to school here as well for nursing.

Here he is his first day being a total dork- we have yet to do his Sr pics yet ! I will share when I get them done.

Katie is in the 10th grade this year....oh my loud & boisterous Katie Bug ! She is a crazy girl ! She is all about her friends & having fun ! She totally enjoys life. She is busy with choir & dance- thats all she does too...sings & dances....dances & sings.....love it ! She is going to go get her driving permit this week. LOOK OUT everyone !!!!

Katies first day of 10th grade

Luke news- he is doing great . He is still taking his daily injections. He has had a couple of VERY SCARY reactions. But all in all doing good. He has been SO BUSY around the house. His project list is a mile long....just wished it was all done.

Me~ I have been so busy with my photography business ! I am so happy how good it is all going ! I am so thankful that I have a great hsuband who supported my dream & has made it all happen. Business is KICKING BUTT !! Plus I love what I am doing ! I have started WW- I have lost 3 pounds in 2 weeks. I need to remember margaritas are bad...so are Big Red's....so are chips & salsa.....and not drinking enough water ! It will come off faster once I do what I am supposed to do.

Family news- we leave Sept 23 for Chicago. We are flying out Tues night & come back Fri afternoon. This started out as a getaway for Luke & I - we were going to go see the Eagles in concert. Well Emily is a HUGE Eagles fan like her daddy- he had already promised her if he ever went to a concert she could go too. So the 3 of us were just going to go- then I felt bad & now it is a mini family trip !

Ok Luke is gone playing poker. I use my Wed night to get caught up on work....better get after it !
