The time has certainly slipped away from me. In the last couple of months we've stayed so busy I forgot I even had a blog. Jake has been keeping us busy with fall baseball and as usual Rylie has been swimming up a storm, competing in at least 1 meet a month.
Jake's birthday came and went without a fuss this year. He turned 10! what a handsom amazing young man he's turning into. He advanced from bear, in the scouting program, into the webelo class. He's working hard in school and getting straight A's. Jake is playing the theme song from Indianna Jones on the piano this fall. He still finds time for a little video game time every now and then.
Rylie started 7th grade like it was no big deal! She takes art and loves it. It's good to see her be able to start up again on something she had to put by the wayside for a while, she's so good at it! She took a babysitting class at the Red Cross to get CPR certified, so now she is a working woman.( which is good because she has expensive taste in clothes right now) Besides getting straight A's in school Rylie is playing Bella's lullabye on the piano, and sounding beautiful!
She still makes time every wednesday night for Young womens activities with the church. what a good example she is being to her younger siblings.
Brookelynn started 1st grade and is happily reading everything they put in front of her.
her teacher does say that she is a social butterfly but she tries to keep herself on task and is getting all smiley faces in all subjects. Brookelynn loves to sing and will sing along with EVERY song on the radio, (enough to drive the big sister and brother crazy) I, however love to hear her sweet voice singing softly in the background.
Shelby started pre-school for three year olds this year and she thinks she's little miss big britches. She wants to go to school EVERY day. ( her classes are only Tue. and Thur. ) During the days she doesn't have school, she is mommy's helper. She wants to run around with the big kids every chance she gets. She is all of 3 and a half and she acts like she's 5. They are all growing up so quickly!
