First Day of School 2015-2016

The new School year is upon us! 

This year we have 1 in Elem , 1 in Middle School and 1 in High school. 3different school, 3 different bus schedules and 3 very different homework schedules. 

It's going to be an interesting year! 

The first day has gone off without an issue, second day is okay and we will see about the rest of the week. 

How has your first week of school going? Smoothly or not? 

Daddies and Legos

While we are soaking up the last 2 weeks of Summer we are staying up late playing and watching movies. Crystal is on the mend slowly and sleeping very late into the morning. ALL of this will of course change in 1 week, I will make everyone start going to bed on a set schedule and then I will be an Evil Mommy again..lol..

Tonight we watched an Atlas Rocket launch, It was so neat to watch and the kids were so full of questions for Daddy to answer. I miss the Shuttles, we used to watch them in school on the TV and step outside to watch it enter the atmosphere, Richard and I were just saying how we miss the huge "KABOOMS" twice and it entered/exited our atmosphere.

The night ended with Richard playing LEGOS with lil Richard. They came out of the bedroom and showed me the case for his little FM radio kit that they had put together. 

See the little guy on top holding the antenna..That's so cool!

Today I won a $25.00 gift card to a great lil boutique store here in town and I'll post pics of what Crystal and I picked out tomorrow. It was a fun Mom/Daughter outing!

Back in the Saddle!

Crystal is Back in the Saddle!

We found such a nice lady that gives horse back riding lessons and even though we have had a horse, it's been over a year since we rode so this is a great way to brush up on horse riding and get our horsey fix in at the same time!

My iphone has decided that it doesn't like to take good pics anymore, I'm looking for a good camera, Any ideas? What do you use?

Happy 13th Birthday Wishes!

Today is Crystal's 13th birthday!

We had a nice party for her yesterday with Family and Friends!

Today she is watching Project Runway for the first time which is a complete surprise to me since she has caught and caged this guy...

A Rat Snake!!!!

You can take the girl out of the Country but you can't take the Country out of the girl!!

Crystal's Christmas Band Concert

Last night Crystal had her Christmas Band Concert.  She did really well, She brought home her Saxophone and practiced Jingle Bells many nights.

She gets her musical talents from her Dad, not from me..lol..

We are very proud of her!
