October starts out with my birthday on the 3rd... this year I turned 34...and for some reason I can remember the number... most years it's just a day that comes and goes. Will took me out to dinner. We were originally going to the Olive Garden - been craving their salad and bread sticks. Due to the long line that went around the building, Will was not about to wait - go figure. So we adventured down to Outback Steak house. I could have not asked for better kids, they were perfect angels. That didn't last long...they used up all their patients and were complete turd's the next 2 days.
Sunday, 5th Will went on his annual Vegas trip. Kids and I did things that we don't normally do when dad is around, includes eating certain foods. We had a blast and amazingly the house stayed clean when dad was not home.
The kids and I have our belt testing at the end of the month... then were taking a couple month off...mom needs a break and we need to devote a little more time to our studies... If the kids want to continue... we'll start up at the beginning of the year. Billy needs some type of activity... and he really enjoys it.

SEPTEMBER - Come and Gone
Well the month of September has come and gone. Where it went, I don't know.
School started on September 2nd followed by a very busy weekend. 2 of the pups went to their new homes (Rex & Wishbone). Tae Kwon Do had a picnic at Mud Mt. Dam on Labor Day...kids had a blast. The rest of the pups went the following weekend...at 6 weeks all 6 of the pups were gone...I think Pale was relieved.
Kayla is in 3rd Grade this year and her teacher from last year looped with the class, so she has the same teacher from last year. Something new for Kayla this year is on Tuesday she has joined the IA (Individual Achievement) Class...she goes to Sunrise (her normal school) and gets bussed over to Southwood (just on Tuesday). Currently they are studding Medieval History. I'm having to save all our cereal boxes, as that is part of the castle.
Billy has made the transition into 1st Grade. He has a new teacher that is new to the school and is hopefully going to be with them all year, as he had 4 teachers last year. There are somethings that we need to work on like his hand writing, but ever teacher that I talk to says that he is such a good boy and when his allergies are on attach... he doesn't ever say a word, doesn't even complain. We had one week where the seasonal allergies really got him and he amazes me how strong he is and for what he puts up with.
My mom turned 71 on the 19th and we joined her and her friends at the eagles for cake and ice cream. That same weekend I had my Great-Niece, Kyla for the weekend...truly love her but I was absolutely exhausted when Dee (Nana) picked her up for her turn... Mom & Dad (Amber & Corey) went to the Ocean for their Anniversary. We had a blast with all the neighbor hood kids and of course - Play Doo. We also watched one of the pups that Amber took, Sophi (we called her Daisy)... she was pretty good until Sunday night when she decided to go fishing and be the bait... around 11:00pm she managed to get one of Will's fishing poles down off the table and get a three pronged fish hook stuck to the top of the inside of her lip... oh and of course she set the hook. So Will clipped the hook in couple of places and in the morning we were able to get it out. At least she was able to know which hooks were the new ones... no infection and completely fine...but I was really worried.
The following weekend we went to Fish Lake just above Leavensworth... and Kayla got sick just before we left...took her to the doctors with an ear ache... no infection just a lot of pressure on the ear drum...going over the pass didn't bother her but the hic-ups did...so we stopped and picked up the swimmers ear (she just had 2 weeks of swimming thru school)... everything got better.
The kids weren't really into fishing to much this trip. Kayla did go out with Dad on Jack's boat. She needed some Daddy time...but Jack had the ultimate morning... he got Kayla to try fish bait. He said he's been trying to get kids to try that for year and with no success... Now he can mark that one down in his book.
To top the weekend off... I forgot my camera. Told Will we need to buy one just for the camper.
