Falling apart

I feel like I am falling apart at the young age of 30 (something)..wink wink
For those of you I talk to alot you will know that I have been complaining of foot pain all summer. With my love of doctors I have put it off until yesterday. On another note, I opened a door last week and felt pain in my left wrist. It ached and felt miserable all last week- even had pain in my pinkie finger. So with both issues I decided to go see my friendly doctor. He thinks my wrist is arthritis- sent me for an x-ray. On to my foot- he thinks that is planter fasciitis. Another x-ray ordered and a prescription for Motrin.
Why didn't someone tell me that you fall apart at 30-something? I thought it happened at a much older age!

Busy times....

Its been a busy two weeks. School started, Boy Scouts started and I went back to work. Both of our kids are enjoying this year. Am is super excited about US Military History (if you remember she didn't ask for that elective but got placed there). She has had homework and three projects already. I can tell what this year is going to bring- a butt load of homework! Zach is just in the same groove. Band has started and he has a new band teacher yet again- He hasn't had the same band teacher since he started band in 5th grade! Here's to hoping this on stays through the year. Neil has had one Boy Scout training so far. I have had 3 meetings and a conference for Scouts.

Here's to another busy and great school year.

First day of school

Here is our annual first day of school photo- We have a 10th grader and an 8th grader. So hard to believe.

Fun

Turtle Cove Waterpark just opened in May and we haven't had the chance to get out there. Zach asked to go for his birthday. What a great day. If you haven't had a chance to make it or if you think its too pricey- I am here to say that its totally worth your time and money. We were there about 4 hours and could have stayed longer. You can't take food in (they have a concession stand) but you can get a wrist band to go out and picnic.

No more little kids

Zach turned 13 today. Hard to believe, I know. We took him to Turtle Cove waterpark for his birthday (pictures to come in later post).

Another great visit

Last week we took another trip to the B. Bed and Breakfast. Cara had invited Donna and the girl's. So I loaded Neil's car with the seven of us and all of our stuff for the journey. It was a little chaotic with the 7 of us and the 6 of them but we had an awesome time. Th little kids even got along-which in my book is amazing when you have 5 kids trying to play together. The teens and preteen just hung around playing Gameboys and watching the Moll's. The mom's even got some scrapbooking in. We can never thank Cara and Jason enough for inviting us, housing us and couping with that many people.

Family day
