FIRST DaY Of ScHoOL!!

So today was the First "real" day of school for all three of our oldest! I was trying to hold myself together all day! First we got Ryan off to work and next it was Taylor's turn to catch the bus, then Maddie and Sky had to be transported to their Preschool..(I feel like a soccer mom) Needless to say, I felt a little overwhelmed..They pretty much had to kick me out of the school.. After getting back home Zoey and I collapsed (it was only 9:30!). While talking and playing Zoey giggled for the first time!! It was the cutest! After making myself busy for a couple of hours It was time to pick up the two little ones... that's when the trouble began! I went to turn off our new "used" car and it wouldn't shut off! (I know here we go..) I swear when it rains it pours on my nerves.. After taking a long trip to the mechanic shop, they showed me how to take out the fuse and disconnect the battery for now until Ryan can fix it.. What a day!!! Ya it was only 1:00pm! It was definitely a memorable day for sure!

Just an update.(I know, I know) Its been a while.. Our life has been a whirlwind lately! Having 4 kids is both wonderful and exhausting! Its really hard to get time to sit down and update everyone.. Taylor has been in Summer school every day and thats going well.. She graduates on Friday and then we start preparing for school to start again. Maddie and Skyler are both starting preschool this year too! Zoey is officially 3 months and is as chunky as ever:) She is 13.5 lbs and 22 inches! Shes so "Healthy" as everyone says.. lol Really they mean she's chubby :) Hmm what else.. Maddie slammed her finger in the car door, we thought it would be ok but it kept swelling and turning more blue. She ended up having to have surgery on it to sew up a laceration under her nail bed. It wouldnt have been so bad if she would have fallen asleep after they atempted to give her a sedative 3 times.. They ended up having to do surgery with her wide awake. Not so fun.. But its doing better now, although she still wont use it.

Happy Birthday Ryan!

Skylers pumpkin

So this weekend we decided to go to the pumpkin patch which has become a tradition every year....The very first Pumpkin Skyler came across he grabbed and threw in the wagon.. We all watched in aww because it was pretty heavy! Needless to say he was satisfied! What was even funnier was that Maddie found the BIGGEST pumpkin in the patch.. which put Taylor on a mission to find one even bigger than her little sisters...
In the end she didn't find a bigger pumpkin but one that was "good enough" lol....
