First Day of School 2011

The kids went back to school on Monday, way too early, the fastest summer ever! Syler really misses them. He LOVES Barney now, guess Barney makes up for loosing Kinley. He plays really well with them after school, which is good because I can get things done, sometimes! Syler is also talking like crazy! You should hear him say awesome! It's so cute! He is always making silly faces to, just a clown all the time. He has started climbing on everything. We were at the YMCA yesterday, Syler was in the daycare and I was running on the treadmill, the room is all glass but has a wall on his side of the room. I looked in there and he was standing on a chair looking at me and then he started crying when they made him get down! He has also already started the terrible two's. He wants everything his way, it soooo drives me crazy!

Kinley started 1st grade! She loves her teacher, the same first grade teacher Taylor had. She has a few boys in her class that she already knew, but no girls that she knows. She said she is playing with a girl from her kindergarten class at recess. She doesn't seem to interested in the girls yet but I prefer her to play with the boys. I ordered Kinley a shirt that says, "Kindergarten is so last year" I wanted her to wear it the first day of school but it didn't get here in time so she wore it today. I took pictures but they aren't very good because we had to hurry.
She is doing really well at gymnastics. She got a new coach and doesn't like him too much but she will get used to him. She is on preteam right now and they said they didn't realize she was 6 (you have to be 6 to compete in gymnastics) or they would have moved her up to team so that she could compete this year, so now she has to wait until next year, but she will be so ready by then. They said in January they would move her to the team and one of the other coaches showed her the new team uniforms that they just got and she really wants one! Oh and I think she wants us to sign her up for soccer again. I probably will because this will be her last season, she won't have time for gymnastics and soccer once she moves to the team. I wish she could do both though because she is really good at soccer to, she prefers not to sweat though and gymnastics is air conditioned so I am sure she will choose that! LOL!

Taylor started 4th grade this year. You would not believe how much homework he has had and it's only the third day! He has a bunch of friends in his class but has been mostly playing with a new boy. He says his teacher is nice, which she is she just likes hard work! He is happy that they get a popcorn party every Friday and she gives him gum.
Taylor started soccer practice again a couple weeks ago. They have been making them run a lot which is good. I am glad I made him run with me this summer so it wasn't so hard on him when they started that at practice. His first game is this weekend and then he has a tournament next weekend. Hopefully the team has improved.

In other news, I got LASIK a couple weeks ago! Everyone should get it done! It took like two minutes to get it done and it doesn't hurt. One eye is awesome and the other is still a little bit blurry but hopefully that will be gone in a few weeks.
Den got in a wreck a couple weeks ago in Chicago. He wasn't hurt and it wasn't his fault. Luckily it was the government car and not his own! LOL! I think that is all that is going on around here. In September I am singing in our TuneTown show so buy tickets and come watch! The guests we have this year are AWESOME!
