Wow! Life has been crazy busy! I think I say that every time I get on here but, it is true. Summer flew by for us. We did lots of playing, hanging out, volleyball camps, and a little vacation thrown in there, oh and yes... bought a new house on 6 acres! This is something we have always wanted and now to have it is crazy. The house is umm...quite small, but sacrifice brings blessings, right!? I have faith that it will and we will be soon building a nice home on that land of opportunity.

Yesterday my sweet boy Max turned 3 yrs. old! I can't believe it!!! He is all boy, rough and tuff and doesn't realize his own strength. He is built like a football player and everyone makes comments on his muscular  body at such a young age. He really is the cutest boy ever! He loves dinosaurs, trains, cars, and the super heroes. He loves to play with his sisters, especially Brookie. They are really close, maybe a little to close because they have some good fights mixed in with the laughter.

Today was the first day back to school! Everyone in new schools not because of the move, but because that is how Queen Creek School District works. K-4, 5-6, 7-8,& 9-12. Too many kids for the amount of schools and our kids were in the new adventure category. Brookie headed off to kindergarten so excited! She walked through the gates and never looked back to see if I was still there. She is the first child to do that. Kylie was so excited that she ran out the door without giving me a hug, which is very unlike her but she couldn't wait. She has a lot of her friends in her class and she is pretty out going anyway. Tayler was excited before today. She has anxiety and unfortunately it runs on both sides of the family. Tears started to flow and her nerves were getting the best of her. Instead of the bus I drove her and one of her friends to school to ease their nerves. I know Tayler will be fine once she starts moving through the schedule. She has someone she knows well in every class, so she will do good. New adventures are scary at first and I know when she comes home today she will wonder why she got all worked up.

So lots of new things all in a few shorts days. We've had some celebrations and then tomorrow we will grieve for the loss of Kamber. 5 years since her passing... a lot has changed. I still have my days, but I now can be thankful that we had her for the time we did. She has blessed our lives and continues to do so. I'm so thankful to be her mom.:)
