My kids are so talented!!!

Is Fall here yet?

It's too hot for October to start.  We had a great first month at school.  The three older kids love their teachers and are doing great.  Braden is learning to count carbs and he gives himself his shot at school every day.  We are so proud of him.  

We are in full swing with Braden and Brynn playing club this year, and Tanner playing clinic (the little kids).  He has about three moves he does already, a mother couldn't be more proud.  Jon is coaching Brynn's team so that is a treat for her.  I am helping out with Braden's team, it's a lot of work, but fun to be there.

Last week the kids had their primary program in Sacrament meeting.  It was great to be able to work with them, and the rest of the kids.  We had some special musical numbers, and all the kids said their parts so well.

We are so grateful for our children, and I'm not ashamed to admit they do drive me insane sometimes, but for the most part it's fun.

So I guess we need to make an official announcement.  As many of you have already heard, we just found out that Braden has Type I diabetes.  No one is sure why people get it, and don't know what causes it to happen, but basically they think the process started five years ago and is now showing up.  We freaked out of course, until we sat down with the doctor and he explained everything to us.  Braden has taken it extremely well and for a ten year old, has really stepped it up.  He already is giving himself shots after only two days.  For at least six months he will have to take three shots a day of insulin, and check his blood sugar as well.  If you have any questions about diabetes or about what he is going through please don't ask, because we have no idea!  Just kidding.  Call us any time, we are doing great, just a minor lifestyle change, but we wanted to let our friends and family know.  

Summer is over!

We had such a great summer.  I'm glad it's over though, I am one tired mom.  I'm hoping to get more time to blog again, now that the kids are in bed at a decent hour.  After going to the beach,a lot, riding the train, visiting museums, swim lessons, and a lot of misc. entertaining, we're ready for school.  Now comes the soccer, dance, scouts, piano, and homework, although at least they're consistent.  Oh well I guess you can't have your cake and eat it too.  We just go with what happens, and that's what makes life fun!
