Life....

Life is busy, but life is fun!

After a short month, Darrin is back in school for Fall Semester (one more semester and he will be done!) He is gone a lot with either school, work, or clinicals and when he is home he usually has a lot of homework to do. It gets hard but it will be worth it come April!!

Isaac is in 1st grade and loving school. He sure loves to learn and to understand why things are the way they are. Sometimes we just have to tell him we will google it because we don't know much about what he wants to know. He loves science, outer space, weather, geology... He chose to be a mad scientist for Halloween this year, I think it fits him well! :) Every month for school the kids are suppose to read at least 400 minutes. For the month of September, Isaac read 600 minutes! The first book they sent home with him was a chapter book! Crazy! Isaac just got finished with soccer for Fall. He has been doing gymnastics this whole year and is loving it. I am going to be signing him up for a chess tournament for kids on November 3rd(the day after his bday), he is excited. He loves to play games, chess, monopoly, five crowns, anything.

Bryn is three and started preschool this year. She was a little shy at first but is enjoying being there and making new friends. She is now in dance and loves dressing up in her leotard, tights and skirt to go. She is still our sweet little princess that loves to be in dresses, which she is teaching Jordyn to love too! Last month, we signed Bryn up for gymnastics in the Developmental Team 1, which they are more strict and teach them really good technique and they gradually will move up and then start to compete when they get older. Bryn is sure a strong little chick! She has the cutest grin on her face during class. Bryn learned to ride a bike this summer with no training wheels and loves to ride at the skate park with her brother. She can have her times with attitude but she can also be the sweetest girl around.

Jordyn will be two in a month. She is the busiest child I have ever known. She sure keeps me on my toes. Jordyn likes to get into everything, all day long! :) She loves waking up and seeing her brother and sister in the morning. She will say their names and give them hugs, it is cute! Lately she has been starting to copy a lot of what Bryn or Isaac will say or do. Jordyn (well all of my kids) love the little neighbor boys around us. Jordyn sure keeps us laughing. She is a little character and will do funny random stuff all the time.

As for myself, taking care of everyone I just wrote about keeps me busy! Earlier today, I was sitting on the kitchen floor playing with Bryn and doing dumb stuff to make her laugh. As I was sitting there, I realized, that is one of my most favorite things to do is make my children laugh. I love to make people laugh and be happy but to have my children laugh is the best!  I love life, yes I sometimes am running around crazy or have to make and eat dinner within an extremely short amount of time before we have to head some place for the kids, but I wouldn't change it. I did tons of running this year, took a bit of a break and then ran a relay race this past Saturday with some great women. It was such a fun time to be able to get a break and enjoy running. I didn't train for it so I am paying for it now, but it was a blast!
