I was told last night that I've been a bad blogger. I haven't updated my family blog in forever. I know. I've been a little busy with
Mealplangirls.com. My apologies. So, here's an update over everything that I can think of right now.
#1 - The Chickens
They are great. Sorry I didn't include a picture here. I ran 5 miles today and just was too lazy to walk out and take a picture. We have expanded our chicken cooperation. There is now a second branch in Bentley, Kansas. The branch is doing very well. The chickens up there are a little spoiled by grapes and vanilla ice cream, but all other procedures are being adhered too. We are hoping to have future plans of expanding further into Valley Center, Kansas. Those plans have not been proposed yet. Well...I guess maybe they have in this post. =)
#2 - The Kids
Oh the kids. They are still alive and kicking.
This picture was taken on the first day of school. They were all excited to get back. I was excited to send them.
I went round and round about pictures with Hanah this year. We finally agreed that we would go up to the school the day before it started to get pictures. She is a freshmen this year. My heart is breaking. She drives to school. She thinks that she is too old to hang around her dad and I anymore. Well, she did until she realized that we control whether or not she has the option to drive to school or ride the school bus. I guess the bus isn't as popular in high school?!?! Go figure. =) Hanah is a cheerleader, playing volleyball, plans on playing basketball, is looking forward to running track and can't wait to go to weight lifting competitions this year. This girl will be keeping up extremely busy.
Big bad Halie is in 6th grade this year. Last year at St. Joseph. She's all about school this year. She's also a giant any more. The girl has grown a good 3 inches since my last post in April. This year she is playing volleyball, baketball and track. At her sports physical she got the best news of her life. She is officially 1/4" taller than me. If I was thinking I would have paid the nurse off in the hallway to not give Halie her correct height. I'm remind daily 5 or 6 times that she is taller than me. She told me that it was one of her goals in life to achieve. This picture doesn't give her much justice. She is slouching. In reality she is as tall if not taller than her teacher. The kid fits in a pair of shoes for about 2 months and then tells me they are too little. Holy moly.
Cody bug is in 5th grade. He's playing soccer and basketball this year. If it was up to him school wouldn't start until 10. He likes his sleep. I try waking him up at 6:30. He usually rolls out of bed around 7:15. The bus comes at 7:35. Just enough time to get dressed, brush his teeth and grab something to eat on his way out the door. The high light of Cody's day is usually what they are having for lunch. I guess this year they decided to cut back on portions. He was not impressed...
And then there was Sadie. She officially started preschool this year. Hard to believe. She is healthy and doing well. A ball of fire so to speak. She told me the other day that she was done with preschool. She learned about apples and school buses. There was no reason to go back. I'm dropping her off in the morning at 7:30. =)
I promise that I will try to update this blog more than I have. Hope everyone is doing well.
