Kenize's first day of school

Kenzie and her best friend, Ruby

Kenzie started second grade at the end of August.   We found out the Friday before that her best friend Ruby was in her class.  Her teacher's name is Mrs. Cahoon and Kenzie says that she is very pretty.  Both Rich and I took her to school the first morning.   Last year, both Rich and I just made it to her school by the skin of our teeth due to road construction.  So this year, Rich got there 20 minutes early and we got there soon after.  This year has been harder.  Kenzie has at least 30 minutes of homework a night, and then we read for 30 minutes. It is a real struggle to get homework done every night!

The week that David and Wendy were here with their family was so amazing and fun.  We were fortunate that they got to spend a few nights at our home.  The boys slept in the basement and probably stayed up all night playing "Guitar Hero".  David was the last one that I saw when I went to bed and the first one up when I got up in the morning.  There was three family parties.   One was a swimming party, one was a family party at the park and the last was a game night at our house.    Rich brought out the bounce house for the kids and made everyone snow cones.  He ended up making a friend in the meantime - see above.  

One day we went boating with Kim and Kelly on Kim's birthday.  I laughed my head off while I was tubing with Kenzie and Carlie.  We took David, Wendy and family to see a 3-D show at the Clark Planetarium and then for chinese food.  

Little Lily loves Spongebob and loved playing with the toys that we had here.  Lucky for us Spongebob comes on pretty much all day long.
