Time Flies

I can't believe it is September. Fall is in the air. I love fall! So much has happened since the last time I wrote. I need to be better about writing. I think about it a lot but I just don't get around to it.

Anthony has a new job that he started the end of June. He is working at Coventry. He likes it. He works a lot of hours but is learning a lot. It was a nice raise from what he was making before. He now does programing. Before he was a LAN TECH. Anthony was also called as the Elders Quorum President in May. So, needless to say, he is very busy.

Zach is a Junior. He wants to get his permit. I am a little nervous about him driving. He drives fine at his grandparents ranch but it is totally different to drive on busy roads. He is liking school this year and has a lot of fun classes like Intro to Film, Social Dance and Hero Generations. Anthony and I went to his Back to School Night last week and we both wish we could be in a few of his classes.

Kassi is a freshman. She made the Advanced Dance team at school, so she was really excited. She also just tried out for a role in the Connecticut Yankee - it is with the community theatre. She made a lead role. She is Lady Allisandra. Besides that she also is playing Church Volleyball. She loves to stay busy.

Kaeden is in third grade. He loves his teacher this year. His teacher is a male and makes learning fun. He has a tattle tale box in class and you have to tattle good things about others. Kaeden is loving Cub Scouts. He was just made a Wolf - after only 6 months. He looks forward to going to scouts each week. He is also loving legos. He will do extra jobs so he can earn money to buy lego kits. He loves putting them together with his dad.

Blake is in second grade. He has a new teacher this year and is doing really well. He still does not speak- well he babbles. He uses PECs which is a Picture Exchange System. He can do sentences with this. He can give me the pictures to say I want candy please. Blake is quite smart if we can only help him communicate. He has had several medication changes. His current meds have been really helpful. He has gained 22 pounds - which is great. It was skin and bones before. He is able to concentrate better and is not as impulsive.

I am still working - just part-time. I love that I can take the kids to school and pick them up. I feel like I am a full-time chauffer. Between the car pools, play practice, church activities and Driver's Ed, I spend a lot of time driving. I have been watching BYU football - I haven't enjoyed that much since they lost their last two games. Hopefully, they will get things together and start winning. Life is busy but good!
