Tyler is offically back to school as of today. There was a tinge of sadness on my part, but he was so happy to go back & see his friends...

Things r looking up
Well! August has been quite the whirlwind & it only just began. Got new windows installed the first week of August & in the midst of that we had a slab leak! Crimony. Fortunately it was a small one, but seriously, is a slab leak ever small? We had to file a claim with our insurance company, which freaked us out... it sucks, you pay Homeowners Insurance all these years and when you have to use it, you freak out because you are afraid they will drop you. AAA assured us that wouldn't happen & we have been very happy with the service, although it is taking forever to put my house back together. I've still got holes in my walls & ceiling & my carpet is thrashed. On the bright side, our entertainment center is totalled so I'm going furniture shopping... Yippie! Anyway, I'm told the guys will be out this week to replace walls & baseboards, paint & clean the carpet.
On a happy note, the kids are going back to school in a few weeks. Man, it has been a long summer. They have been pretty busy, but they are never busy enough. Marley will start 2nd grade & I'm anxious to find out who her teacher will be. After Ms. Davis, it will be hard to compare. Ty is in Pre-K... He will be 5 in October & although he's makes the cut, he's not emotionally ready for Kindergarten. I'd rather he be a bit older than younger & it will help him with sports as well. I know so many kids that have been held back & I don't want him to be one of them.
Also, Marley learned to ride her bike w/o training wheels! I was thinking this day would never come. Once she got over the fear of falling, she was fine. Now she is like her brother & covered head to toe in scrapes & bruises! It is so amazing how they change. She went from last month, scared to death to ride her bike, to now, riding with 1 hand and going off ramps. Crazy.

Here's June!
Seriously, I don't know how some of those bloggers do it! How they find the time to blog a few times a month, I will never know. So, here is my half attempt at June:
The highlight of our June was Marley receiving the Mason Award at Rancho. Each teacher, from every class in each grade (K-6) picked one student that exemplified awesomeness! That's not exactly what the Principal said but it's close enough... It's kinda like "Student of the Year". So, my little Marley K, was, of course picked! Too boot, her Best Friend, Kylie Hoskinson was chosen for her Kindergarten class. So that was a pretty sweet way to end the school year.
Speaking of end of the school year, man was I sad. Yes, of course for the fact that I need to find ways to entertain my two busy children, but there is more... I absolutely LOVED Marley's 1st grade teacher, Ms. Davis. She is the worlds best teacher. She is so sweet, kind, caring and loving to each & every student. Marley LOVED Ms. Davis as well, in fact, I noticed she got a lot more hugs than I did... grrr! Just kidding! It is a real treat to find a teacher like Ms. Davis that is able to teach your kids so much and be so loving that the entire class adores her. I was one of the classroom helpers and it enabled me to get to know her on a personal level and man, she's great. She's so great that I was CRYING on the last day of school. I know all the teachers at Rancho are great, but I hated having to give up Ms. Davis. I begged her to watch out for Tyler and snag him when he was going into 1st grade. And I'll keep on it, because as you all know, I am good at pestering especially when it comes to the benefit of my children! :)
Let's see, end of June was my birthday, and that was nice. My parents came down for a bit and we had a great time. My dad of course was put to work. He replaced my plain & ugly interior garage door (w/ help from Roger) to a pretty 6 panel door. Nick of course didn't really notice! Men! Well I think it looks great and makes a world of difference especially since it matches all the other doors in my house.
I think that's about it, I'm sure we went to a few baseball games, but since that was 2 months ago I'm a little fuzzy.
