Good Bye Dancing, Hello Football!

Well, I have good news gang. We hired a REAL, PROFESSIONAL dance teacher!! She has taken over and seems to be doing well. The kids are happy and they actually have moves beyond the Cabbage Patch Kid, Rodger Rabbit, Lawn Mower, and Sprinkler. I now have a prep period and I got a few extra bucks for humiliating myself by dancing in front of teenagers. Being a dance teacher will definitely be added to the list of crazy things I have done.

Now that Dance is over, Football is full on. Unfortunately, the boys lost their first two games, but I have high hopes that things will be more successful in league. P.A.M.A. (Garry's name for the wives club) has secured an area near the corner of the stands to corral our kiddos and let them play. It's working out pretty good. (Great idea Kandice!) The kids play and run around and we chase them. Last game Ledger learned how to say "touch down" with his arms high in the air and "ebra" for zebra. I just can't believe how smart he is. He is learning new words everyday. My Mom keeps reminding me that I was worried that "he might not ever walk or talk". Amazing how I worried for nothing. The nature of being a Mom, Right?

Send good thoughts to the boys when they play this Friday night. We are sheduled to play a division 1 team, so it will be a tough game. We could really use a win.

Some Recent Pictures





I took Ledger to the zoo today. He absolutely LOVED it. Now that he is older, everything is far more exciting. He can actually see the animals and loved pointing at them and watching them. His favorites are still the Flamingos and Lemurs. He liked the Giraffe and Tigers too.

I took some adorable pictures of Ledger taking a bath the other night and I just had to post them. He is going to hate me for this one day, but until then I will happily post his adorable bath pics.

Okay, it is official....

Ledger's first birthday
Family Camping trip

And he knows how to walk!
I am the worst blogger alive. It has been over two months since I have up dated!! Lots has happened in those last two months. Ledger turned one, we finished remodeling our house, Ledger learned to walk, school started, football started and I became a dance teacher. No, that last one is NOT a joke.;)

So it would be impossible to try and catch you up on all that has passed, but I will try a little bit.

June 22nd- Ledger's first birthday. He finally started saying Mama the day of his party. I was in heaven and even though I wake up every morning at 6:30 am to "Mama" over and over again, I still am.

End of June- The remodel is done! Yeah! Our house looks amazing. Carpet and tile was completed and I am so excited for everyone to see how it looks.

July- Came and went quicker than a dollar bill. As a matter of fact I think I missed it completely. Wait, no, I remember a little bit. On the 4th Ledger stayed up WAY past his bedtime and loved watching the fireworks, we had a big family camping trip and my Best Friend Marie & her kiddos came to visit.

Beginning of August- We went to Tahoe for Cammie and Robert's wedding and then school started. It really was so quick. One the second day back at work Ledger learned to walk. It was the day before his Dada's birthday. (Happy B-day Bobby!)

August 15th- I was the "lucky" one who had a prep period at the same exact time that we had a dance class, in which there wasn't a teacher to teach. The "lucky" one found out that she would be teaching dance until we "found a professional" and I am now addicted to all the dance reality shows, FIT TV and still have no idea what I am doing. (Can you hear the sarcasm in my voice?)

August 19th- Kids came back to school, football started and our lives are far too busy.

So, it is official- I am the worst blogger ever, Ledger turned one and can walk, school and football started and our summer went quicker than ever!

OKAY, so how did I do?? Do you feel caught up?

I posted some pictures of all that you missed.
