Back to School!

We started 5th and 7th grades this week! Aidan is at the middle school for the first time (and we have started middle school sports), and Avery is maneuvering her own schedule as a 5th grader (more than one teacher) and is a Junior Eagle cheerleader this year! Looking forward to a great year!

Wrapping up Summer

We crammed in as much fun as we could the last couple weeks of summer! We had the Ford kids over for a sleepover, I went out with my friends Tracey and Kimberly (to the '80s club!) and we also went with the Dixons on Lake Lewisville on Daniel's old boss Rick's boat! The kids loved going tubing (the grown-ups even took a turn!) and jet-skiing!

Ya Dummy

I spent a fun-filled weekend at the Woodlands Resort with my KD friends Leslie and Jen! It had been so long since I'd seen them so this weekend was much needed! We laughed, ate, drank, and chilled at the pool. What more could we ask for? Ya dummy!

Art and Cheer

Avery got to go to a ceramics camp at the high school for a few days and loved it! She is looking forward to doing the after-school art program next year!

She also did cheer camp in preparation for Junior Eagle Cheer next year!

Ripley's Believe-It-Or-Not/Wax Museum and Burger's Lake

Temps were at a record high so instead of doing our annual Burger's Lake trip, Kimberly and Tracey and I decided to do something inside instead! We took our kids to the Ripley's Believe-It-Or-Not and wax museum! They also had a mirror maze and laser crawl that the kids did. The wax museum was a lot of fun (some of the characters looked very lifelike while others looked hilariously bad), except towards the end when there was a scary part...Avery wanted no part of it and decided she was DONE for the day, so I sat with her in the lobby while the rest of the group finished. I got to go through the scary part later!

The following week the kids and I went to Burger's Lake the following week and enjoyed some PERFECT weather, and not a lot of crowds! We missed our lake buddies but there's always next year!
