Movie Time

So I've found out that my friend Arica is now related to me. We are something like 3rd cousins twice removed by marriage or something. Anyway we went to see Mama Mia last Sunday. IT WAS GREAT! We laughed so hard. I had seen it on the stage when we lived in Tucson and loved it then. I'm trying to figure out if I can see it again before its out of the theater here. I know whats on my Christmas list this year!

First Day of School



Today was Adam's first day of school. Once he got his backpack on he was pretty excited. This was the one day he actually slept past 7am and I had to go in and wake him up. Go figure. It was such a BEAUTIFUL morning we walked to school. As we walked we got stopped by the police. No we weren't speed walking, he just saw Adam with his backpack and we told him we were on our way to his first day of school. The policeman stopped and got out of his car to talk to Adam and give him a police badge sticker. Once we made it to school and in his room he found toys and kids to play with. I kind of hung around (I'm not sure why) but he was already busy so I eventually left. Neither one of us cried. I'm so proud of us! It was fun picking him up. He was talking about all he did. Of course they had a snack, played and sang Going on a Bear Hunt. I think we are all ready for him to take this step. Later today he had tumbling class. And in a little while he has a birthday party to go to. He is a busy little guy.

Mom & Dad

Scott and I have been playing golf like crazy this summer. Well, he always does but now I have the bug. I try to go out at least once a week. I think next summer I might join the ladies league. Not that I am good but I really enjoy it. It's nice to be outside. I think golf courses are pretty. Even the ones around here. The club we belong to is so neat. We can take the kids. Adam is pretty good at hitting the ball. Megan even knows what to do with a club and a ball and she tries to make contact. Its been nice too because Scott and I have found something we can do together without kids. He has been teaching me. And no - it hasn't led to the end of our marriage. He is a pretty good teacher. I guess our philosophy is to just have fun and relax. We will be playing in a couples tournament next weekend. That should be fun. So anyone who wants to play with us let us know. We are always up for a game!

Like Mother Like Daughter


Megan is growing and changing so much. She now has her 3rd tooth coming in. She weights 22lbs! I can even clip a bow in her hair. She is starting to get an attitude. (not like her mom or anything) She will scream bloody murder if she can't do something like get the backpack off the hook or get a certain toy out of the toybox. She is starting to pester her brother too. Twords the end of summer Megan really enjoyed the pool. She wasn't afraid of anything. So far she is still taking 2 naps a day but I am thinking about getting it down to one - if that will help while Adam is in school. She still is a very good baby that likes to dance, play outside and eat. I'm so thankful the weather cooled off so we can spend more time outside. She has eaten so many tomatoes this summer. She will eat cherry tomatoes by the handful. I love it! They are the easiest thing to feed your kid.

End of Summer


I can't believe the end of summer is already here. It went by sooooo fast. I guess thats what happens when you get old. I can't believe it but Grammy and I took my baby school clothes shopping. He is getting to old. He picked out a Spider Man backpack. He had his first school physical: 3'3" & 31.5lbs. Still a little guy. I think he is ready to have this interaction though. We'll see how mom handles it!
