Hey! I wanted to try out mom's blog. This is really cool! School's been going well so far. It's really different from elementary school. I really like it! I like my science teacher best.
I get home before Ryan and Justin do. That way, I get my homework done before they even get home! I also get to stay up a little later. Actually, Ryan and Justin are already in bed right now. Even though Middle school is cool, I still can't wait for summer vacation. It'll be a while though...

End of AUGUST?!?!?
I can't believe the month is over! There's only 4 months left in 2007! Who put the calendar on hyper speed?
We are all staying busy here in Topeka. The boys are really enjoying school. They are also busy with piano and trombone lessons, scouts, and starting Saturday, soccer practices and games. Todd is super busy with work and church stuff. And I'm just sleeping in and taking naps according to my children!
Actually, I've been trying to finish some projects (see the quilt I make for Ben & Leslie's baby Sara!)and spending some time developing my talents. I'm filling in playing the organ for sacrament meetings for a month or two so that means I have to practice a lot. I am still not very good, but I am starting to enjoy it! I bought some new organ music to start working on tomorrow and I'm trying to justify buying some organ shoes. I think part of my fascination with new hobbies and projects is collecting all the new equipment and gadgets. (Think scrapbooking, cooking, quilting...) But I hope I'll be able to keep up the organ playing!
Tomorrow is Todd's 39th birthday!!! How did I get to be old enough to be married to a 39-year-old?! Actually, it doesn't seems that old now that I'm getting close too!
We will wait for him to open presents after school and work, then Todd & I are going out for dinner (maybe his favorite - Outback Steakhouse) then bring home dessert and share with the boys. Not very wild, but that's the kind of birthday Todd likes.
I still need to post some pictures so maybe I'll get to that this weekend....

FINALLY!....
OK, OK!! I know it's been weeks since I last posted anything and you might think that means there just hasn't been anything going on worth writing about and Kansas must be sooo boring. You would be wrong. We have been ssooooo busy! We got back from our vacation and the kids went back to school. Todd went to China (he's still there) and I've been practicing my fingers and toes off on the organ so I can play for church. So I haven't forgotten about all my fans who read my blog every day, I just haven't had the energy at the end of the day to get into it. I have tons of pictures and I will post them later. I just had to get a little post up tonight because I have other projects to work on but I'm feeling too guilty about not doing this to even start on the other stuff!! What does that say about me? I know, I'm sick.
Anyway, we are all OK, we're glad to be back into a half-normal routine, we're missing Todd, and we're trying to catch up with regular life after having a blast all summer long!

And We're Off!
After talking about it all summer, we are finally leaving for our family vacation early in the morning. We have planned a bunch of fun things and I will write all about it when we get back. I don't think I'll have access to a computer or the time to update my blog while we're gone, but I will keep track of all the fun times so I can give a full report.
Other than trying to get all the packing done today, and doing the laundry, and cleaning the house, I took the boys to their schools for Enrollment. Tyler was so excited to find out his Middle School class schedule and get his locker assignment. We practiced and practiced opening the combination lock so he won't have any problems when school starts. The kids are put into 4 "teams" to rotate through their classes so all the 7th graders were very anxious about whether they would know anyone on their team. Ryan and Justin won't find out about their classes until we get back. And then 2 days later...school starts!
I'm really excited about this trip. Todd is happy to get away from work for a while and see some really pretty parts of the country. The boys are kind of wishing they could just stay home and veg until school starts. I'll let you know how it goes!
