August 2009

Well, here it is almost the end of August and I'm just now getting around to August news! lol The 7th of August Ed and I celebrated 20 years of marriage!! We went out to eat that evening and rode around in the vette for a while. The 8th, Jordan had a trap shoot. She did awesome!! She's in 1st place in class b. Pretty good for her first year and for competing against all those older boys!!! The following weekend, Ed and I went to Colorado Springs for our anniversary. The girls stayed with their friend Janelle. We had a great time. Did some sight seeing and some shopping. Just enjoyed the weekend together.

The girls started school on the 12th. They are really enjoying it. They already knew a few kids and they have already made a ton of new friends. They have both already had lunch "dates" with boys. OMG - NOT READY FOR THIS!!! lolllllll Jordan went out to eat one day with a boy in 8th grade. His name is Bonner. Dakota on the other hand now has a full fledged boyfriend. They have gone out to eat together everyday this week. They are constantly texting or calling or emailing each other. But - she's pretty heartbroken already - today is his last day at school. He's moving to CA. His name is Brandon and he's also an 8th grader. They'll be able to stay in touch through texts, calls, and email of course, but it's not the same. So she's pretty bummed about that!!

Tomorrow is Bryce's 19th birthday!! Hard to believe I have a 19 year old. I just can't be that old! lollll I'm going to Shattuck to see him and take him out for lunch tomorrow. He has to work, so I'll only get to see him for an hour for his lunch break, but guess that is part of being a grown up and out on your own. Gotta work and pay the bills! lol

Saturday (29th) the girls have their first cross country track meet. It's at Watonga. Ed and I won't be able to go, he's working this weekend. I have to have the girls at the school by 4:15 Saturday morning to catch the bus. Gonna make for a long day for them and me! lolll I'm anxious to find out how they do!!

Grandma Margie and Grandma Jordan both came for a visit this month. Grandma Margie stayed one night and we had a really good time!! We sure enjoyed her. Grandma Jordan stayed for two nights and we really enjoyed her too!! I'm so lucky to still have both of my Grandmas that are able to go and do so many things!!

Well, I think that about catches everyone up for August. I'll post some CO pics in another thread. I'll try and update again for September next week. My calendar is already full for the month of Sept. lol
