Happy 19th Birthday Mason...

Today is Masons birthday and he is away on tour with The Academy. I believe that he is in AL tonight. I sure hope that he is having a great day.. I can't wait to see him in a couple of weeks.

Tonight is our last night in our rental house. I am going to miss the size of the house, but I am hopeful that the smaller house might help us stay close. Instead of running off upstairs. I don't know if that makes any sense.

I see all of the work that we still have left and think WOW... but it's almost over. I can't wait to post photo's of our new house and new dog.

We will be without internet until sometime Monday. Hopefully all of the install goes easy. Until then I better get to work :)

School

Well yesterday was the first day of school. The summer went by way too fast. I really enjoyed having the time with my kids. The summer each child had a day where they planned and made lunch for the family. That was the best idea I have had in a while.
Last week we bought our back to school outfits. I will finish all of the back to school shopping after we move. (fingers still crossed that we’ll get to move in this weekend)
The kids were all happy to go back. Bryan is a junior at Basha High school. Myranda is in 8th grade at Payne. Braxton, Lauren and Lexie go to Patterson and are in 6th, 4th and 1st grade. Wow they are growing up way too fast.




This past Saturday we purchased a live feed so we could watch Mason compete in Texas. I was so happy to see him. I really do miss him. I know that he is enjoying himself on tour. What a great experience he is getting. They are in Dallas today and the weather says it’s 105 but they have humidity.. sure hope he is drinking a lot of water...

Okay... life got crazy

Well, I am very new to this whole blogging thing and I started off very motivated. My problem has been I have been over thinking what I should post. (like adding photos and long stories) So... I have now decided that I am not a big writer. I just want to do this little blog for memories... My grammar will not be perfect. There may or may not be photos... but hopefully I will post more so we can remember some of these good times.

Life has been crazy... we are moving AGAIN. The move is in a week (fingers crossed) and I will be down sizing my home. It is hard to part with things BUT I will have a nice house that is ours again. That will be heaven. I can't wait to get out of this rental. Our landlady is really not a nice person. That is all I am going to say...

We are adopting a dog. We will pick him up on the 30th.. His name is Rugger and he is a six year old black lab.

School starts on Monday. Man the summer went by very fast. We did the Harkins summer movie pass. That was very fun. We went to Colorado for a vacation. I'll write more about that later.

Mason is on tour this summer with The Academy Drum and Bugle Corp. They got new uniforms this year and look very sharp. He will return on Aug. 16th. So he's missing out on helping us move... poor guy.

Well I will close for now, I really do hope to start to post more... (fingers crossed)
