Yeah! School's Back!



The kids all like their teachers and I like all the quiet time (or at least as much as I can get with the baby still around of course.) Aubrey just ran for 5th grade secretary, but didn't get it. She is still a little disappointed. Everyday when Ronin leaves, I tell him to be a good boy. So when he gets home, he says "I was really good, mom, I didn't even get in trouble!"

Goodbye Buddy

Goodbye Buddy!
Due to Buddy's injury from last year and the price hike in hay prices, we had to let Buddy go. However, his new home is at an Equine Rescue and Rehabilitation Center where they take abused or unwanted horses and keep them until they die or adopt them out to a loving family. The wonderful thing about the whole situation is we can still go and see him. When we visited him, he looked happy and seems to be enjoying his new home. But we still miss him a lot.

Summer Fun!

We haven't done a whole lot of traveling this summer. However, Jed did sneak in a few days of camping and fishing with the kids. I just stayed home with the baby. The kids had a great time.

Rigdon is now 3 months old

Here are a few pictures of Rigdon - we are having a ton of fun with this little guy!

Ronin's Preschool Graduation

Ronin graduated from Preschool this week.  He is excited to start Kindergarten.




 

Connor's 1st Pinewood Derby

Connor is now a cub scout!

 He just had his first Pinewood Derby last month. 

And smoked all the other cars.  His car's theme was "Ben 10." We all had a great time.

Jed's Unfortunate Finger

Jed was bit by a dog 3 weeks ago when it aggressively came after our kids twice while they were at the park. The dog broke two of the finger bones and tore off the skin. Jed ended up needing surgery where a rod was inserted so that the bones would heal correctly. He also had to go to the hospital twice a day for a week to have intravenous infusions to clear out any impending infections from the wound. He hasn't been able to go to work since and won't be able to go back until he can use his right hand. Meanwhile, his cop buddies have lovingly nicknamed him "dog food."

Rigdon - 1 month

Rigdon is now 4 weeks old. He started rolling from his tummy to his back a week ago, can you believe that? He can also hold his head up steadily.

He will be blessed this Sunday, May 25, 2008. We know many of you will not be able to attend but we will be thinking of you.

Rigdon is born!
