Well we have had quite the roller coaster ride these past few weeks. Jensen, our two year old decided it would be fun to fill the toilet with toys and flush them down. I fished an entire puzzle out and some connect 4 pieces as the toilet overflowed and flooded our bathroom, family room, and garage. The kids were excited because we stayed in a hotel for a few days while a cleaning company came and disinfected and dried everything out. Mom was frustrated because it happened on the day before the first day of school. Dad had to go to Walmart at 10pm and bring all the school supplies back to the hotel. Now three weeks later, we have new carpet, a random sewage pipe in our yard that the plumbers dug up, and had to completely re-do the downstairs bathroom. It's funny how something so huge can come from a little puzzle piece and the mind of a toddler.
The kids love their new classes and teachers. Tanner, 4, is in his second year of pre-school, Brynn is in 2nd grade, and Braden is a big fourth grader. He has text books now! Jensen loves going to "school" at the day-care while mom works out in the gym and Carley just loves it when anyone plays with her. She is six months old and just decided to start sitting up and thinks she can crawl. Time flies! We are loving soccer season. Jon is busy helping to coach Brynn's team and we are all busy driving to crazy places for Braden's new club team. Tanner just started Tae kwon doe and we are hoping that it will give him an outlet for his "energy". He is also playing soccer and really excells in the goalie position. He dives all over the place. We FINALLY got our new computer, so I am going to really try to be a better blogger, so don't give up on us! see you soon.
