The First Day of School.....

Like a small child on Christmas Day I bounded out of my bed and cheerfully got the kids ready for school. It was a glorious day! It was nice to spend some one on one time with Alex (more on that later) and especially to have no fighting! They are enjoying school, even Devon has admitted its not as bad as he thought. Although he has to tell me every day how boring it is because they do so much work. Audrey is really liking her class. I often find her in her room after school pretending that she is the teacher. It's so nice to be able to finally get some things done around the house!

Cameron-officially 8 and baptized!

And.....we officially own our house! It took a long time and there were times we weren't sure it was going to happen, but we finally closed the deal and had a 'ceromony' taking the For Sale signs down. I told Troy we should put them back up and maybe in 20 years or so someone will buy it :)

This picture cracks me up. Alex was watching Troy trying to pull out the sign, so he put his muscle into it. He was grunting and everything.

And these are the boys' new best friends. They LOVE the bikes mom and dad got them for their birthdays. Devon got a bike with gears and Cameron got a 'trick' bike with pegs which in the picture below mom and dad so gracefully demonstrate.

Devon actually let me take his picture! He wants to show off his new wheels. The boys spend their free time making jumps for their bikes in the empty pond.

What form!
