End of the Summer

OK so it has been a while. I still have not gotten the Eagle Crest photos to post. I promise as soon as I remember to get the pix from Grandpa I will post them.

We have been busy with getting ready for school. doing a bit of shopping, sorting out old stuff. We are planning a garage sale in a couple of weeks.
the kids are getting excited to start school. we have one more week to go. Sean will be starting the 9Th grade and is not too sure of it. He will be fine once he starts and learns his way around the school and is back with his friends. He had soccer training and tryouts for high school. He made the JV2 team, bummer. there were just too many kids trying out. I think that there was 7 goalies and 3 of them were upperclassmen which took the spots on varsity and JV. He does not like it much but he is going to play and get through it and hope that next year he is at least on the JV team. He will have practice or a game every day after school. He did however, make the A team for his Club soccer which will start practices in November and they will play through winter. He was very excited about that. He will also participate in Boy Scouts still. He misses some because of soccer but during the fall season he will be able to attend most of the meetings.

Kaelyn is very excited to start school. She did not get the teacher she wanted but after I talked to the principal and her new teacher, she relaxed and was ready to go back to school. She will continue with her gymnastics and girl scouts this year. She has practice 4 times a week for 4 hours a day. We have not worked out the schedule for Girl Scouts yet. but she will be able to do most of it. Her 1st gym meet is on Sept. 26Th. She is looking pretty good. should get some high scores this season.

Jakob just started soccer practice as well and wants to join cub scouts but I have not found a pack for him yet. I will work on that this week. He did not get the teacher he wanted either but I think it will be a good fit for him so we are leaving it alone. He will be fine no matter what. Our Saturday mornings are going to be filled with his soccer games yeah that ought to be fun. We have not made a decision yet if he is going to continue with gymnastics. I think that it will be a bit much and they do not have times that work well with out schedule so we may find other things to do after soccer season. maybe he will want to try basketball or go back to swimming. or just relax and not do anything (I am all for that).

Jessie believe it or not is starting Kindergarten. We go tomorrow for her to meat her teacher (same one that Sean had). and then next week she has a testing appointment and her first full day is on Sept 11Th. She is still going to take a gymnastics class on Thursday afternoons with her friend Amy. She is also going to start Girl Scouts. We were talking about soccer but we did not like the way they organized the kindergartners last year and so we have not decided yet if she is going to do it or not. she would have to be on the practice field at 8:30 on Saturday mornings and I just think that she is going to have enough to deal with. however if her friend is doing it and she really wants to then I will probably let her.

Have a great last week of summer everyone and I will write more and post pix after we get settled in our school routines.
