I am a little surprised to find that September is almost over. Here is what has happened so far. Labor Day found us with some house guests for Missy's baby blessing. Gene, Taylor, and the boys came and stayed with us. We spent Saturday on the water boating. We had so much fun!
All the kids (Ash, Paul, Sean, Cole, Kaite, and Kami)
Ky water skiing
Gene water skiing, I couldn't believe how good he was especially since he hasn't been in years!
Taylor on the tube, Ky whipped her pretty good! I think she had the worst crash of the day.

Gene even tried the wakeboard, he didn't like it much but did great.

We found the most awesome secluded dock. The kids and dads swam to shore and played in the mud for like an hour.... I think ALL the kids loved it! Taylor an me enjoyed some nice relaxing girl time.

We wore Kami and Cole out.
We had a good weekend visiting with them, we always do. I think the girls enjoyed their last weekend before school started. Monday they headed out and we spent the day hanging out. We took the girls to Gator Jacks, which they totally loved! We went to the park and rode the carousel one last time. We also did a few more things but I can't remember what....The next day was the first day of school. The girls were so excited they got up so early, they love their new classes.
Ash started ballet that week too. She loves it so much and is even in the advanced section of her class. They have already started practicing for their Nutcracker performance in December.
I have had to do some juggling since both girls are in class at the very same time, so far it is working.That weekend we hit the water one more time. Mar brought her boyfriend Cory, and George even came up to go with us.

Mar
She was totally wiped out!!! And she had the best wreck of the day (I missed it) on the wakeboard.
Cory was a ton of fun, we have enjoyed getting to know him better.
We have spent some time at the barn watching movies and hot tubbing with them. Cory is fun and good for Mar!The next week was Ash's birthday. Since I already posted that I will just post her friends party.
Ash wanted to party at the barn this year. Kami helped me make the cake.
Of course it didn't turn out like I wanted, I just didn't have the time to devote to it this year... she like it anyway.
Silly girl
I can't believe how much pizza they ate!!
Kaite had a birthday party to go to herself so she joined us later. She had fun at Lilli's party.
The girls all played Just Dance 2. Thanks George for letting us borrow that remote!The girls did not like me videoing them or taking picts!!
Ash invited Kenadee, Abby, Azlyn, Shelby, and Shaylon (she was the only one who couldn't make it). They had so much fun playing games and hanging out. I even got the new Barbie movie to calm them down before I took them home.

That night Mar and Cory came up and we played some more wii. This video is hilarious... Cory kicked Mar's butt bad on the Barbie song!Cory and Mar
Ky and Cory, I am really disappointed that this video wouldn't load. I even left it for 5 hours and it still wouldn't load. They were so funny to watch!
That night we finally let the girls get in the hot tub, they have been bugging us like crazy, but we did turn it down to 98. They had so much fun, but it was so cold!The next day we got up for more fun. We went to Chelsea's 1st birthday party.

That night me and Ky went and helped with the S&R derby. We kept the hamburgers and hot dogs stuffed and served. There were so many people, but we have so much fun with that group. Poor Dawn was wiped out before the derby was over.This past week Kami went to the dentist for her first visit. He said her teeth look great except that she has bonked her two front teeth too many times (on Ash's head) and that they will fall out early. I asked him when and he said by the time she is 5, I was like oh that is normal for us! She did great though and watched Tangled of course.
Ash got her headgear last Tuesday. Her retainer will be here in 5 weeks. She got glow-in-the-dark neon pink with rainbow sparkles. Ky said "that is so Ashley". She has done great with it and can even get it in all by herself now. I felt like I was signing my life away when I signed all the paperwork!
I have been busy making zucchini bread to freeze. I made a dozen loaves but only 8 made it to the freezer! I have a new crop of zucchini coming in this week! We also picked 3 full bags of beans and peas and need to pick again. Last night we picked a ton of corn and had it for dinner. We planted 3 kinds this year and there is one we really like. Today I am going to dry as many apples as I can! Tomorrow the boys are going to get wood. I have also been trying to find everything for halloween costumes (almost done) and I have started Christmas shopping. I started Zumba a couple of weeks ago and I love it! I forgot how much I love to dance, it doesn't feel like exercise because it is so fun... but sweaty!Ky is enjoying school and is keeping so busy. I think his class schedule is easier for him this semester except BIM, but he has so much busy work with his 17 credits. He is also an academic adviser and a TA this semester. Both of which you have to be recommended by a professor. He is the TA for his professor from his framing class last semester, that TA did not like Ky! He is also trying to get with Cory to work out. Cory will be a certified personal trainer at the end of the semester, maybe he can get us both back in shape!
This past week we have also had to replace the tires on my Tahoe since they were showing cords! We found some awesome tires from a discount place in AZ we payed almost half of what they wanted to charge us here. They are nice big chunky tires, great for the snow!
I also had to order a new dryer. Our dryer has had so many problems but lately it has started eating my clothes! Every load I never know what will come out greasy with holes! The dryer will be here next week, can't wait!
We haven't had much time to put into the basement, I am hoping it will be done some time this century! And now we are focusing on getting all our wood. The neighbor saw a skunk down by the wood pile last week and Ky thinks it is living in there!!!!! Awesome!
My next post wont be this long... I hope!
