Wordless Wednesday: Catch Up Edition

 

 

 

10 on Tuesday!

1. I know, I know. It's been a long time. I just spent quite awhile updating my blog template to something fall-ish and updating the 2 year old pictures of my and my family (if you are getting this via feeder - go my my blog to check it out)! I know I have said it a bunch, but I am really going to put forth an effort to start blogging regularly again. I know, I know.....you'll believe it when you see it. Ha! Same here :)
2. Today is my brother in law, Josh's, birthday. He's 25 years old. When I met him, he was a 7 year old who got the biggest kick out of annoying his older brother. He's grown up to be a pretty cool guy though :) Happy birthday, Josh!
3. This Friday is the first 'district' football game for the bruins. They have had a pretty good season, 6-3, this year. From now on it's 'one and done' meaning if they lose, their season ends. Hopefully they will win every week from now until the state championship game on black Friday! That would be the ultimate way to end Justin's 9th and final year at Rock Bridge!
4. Since I'm on the subject of football....Battle High School is coming together!! The school is looking good and now the athletic turf is installed! Justin has been working REALLY hard on getting all of the weight room and football stuff ready to be purchased. We absolutely cannot wait until next year!!
5. Kenley's birthday is coming up in less than 4 weeks (she's counting down) and we are busy planning her birthday party! She's having it at a place called "The Canvas On Broadway" which is a super cool place where they walk you through doing your own painting. Kenley will go there and pick out which painting she wants to do for her party! It's going to be a lot of fun!
6. Kenley is in first grade this year and is doing great. At this point she is reading at almost a 2nd grade level and is doing really well in math and writing, too! It's no surprise to me that my 'book worm' is reading beyond the expected level for her age! She's enjoying school still and really likes her teacher this year. She's also been dubbed the 'computer expert' in her class....this means if anyone has questions about how to use the computer, they should ask her! She thinks that is pretty cool!
7. Kason is enjoying his second year of preschool, too. He has a new buddy, Jackson, who he says is his best friend. He talks about Jackson non-stop and has been asking for Jackson to come over to our house forever! Little does he know, Jackson is coming over tomorrow evening to have that play date! He is learning a lot at preschool and I have seen him really transforming into a little boy. He is so smart and he amazes me everyday! As much as it pains me to say it....he is definitely growing up! He's not a baby anymore!
8. MU homecoming is this Saturday. I wish we were able to go to the game, but it's too early for Justin to be able to go. The homecoming parade is starting at 7am this year. WTH is that all about? I haven't decided if I will take the kids or not. That is really early and it is going to be really cold. Ugh...
9. Kenley is now dancing at CPAC (Columbia Performing Arts Center) instead of Columbia Dance Academy. She's been wanting to take Jazz for a while now, but it didn't work out. Once I got to researching CPAC I found out that it's cheaper for her to dance there and, in my opinion, it's a better dance school. She loves it and is doing really well!
10. We could use some prayers for Justin's grandpa, Dave. He's been in the hospital and is not doing well at all. Any thoughts or prays you could spare would be nice!
