Freedom!!!
ok is it bad that i am rejoicing at the prospect of only having KayLea here at home!!! today the boys got up real early (isn't this afternoon going to be fun!) got showers and dressed way before they needed to we had chocolate chip pancakes and off we went to school, very un-cermonously went to their classes.. not even a kiss good bye!! i got to give them a slight half hug and say have a good day!!! Sniff... they are way to big to be my kids.. i am but a kid myself haha..
anyway now to de clutter my house.. i have been trying to for the last month and 5 minutes later it's back where i started... KayLea is estatic she gets to have full control of the TV and we get to go back to our normal routine of Library's and play grounds.. (we only went once in the summer!)
anyway all is well here it's starting to get cold which i have to say i'm not dissopointed one bit!!!
have a great day!

Busy, Busy, Busy
our lives have offically gotten busy! Soccer has started and once again the boys are on different teams (different age brackets) so we have games or practice every night of the week (excluding friday) and 2 games on Sat... at least there games are always the same time on sat so we know they won't ever have a game at the same time.. (being grateful for the little things at this point :) School Starts next Wednesday... can't say i'm dissopointed this last week has been a little rough (although i think it always is).. and we just found out the co-op preschool is full so when school starts i think i'm going to do some investigation and KayLea and i will find something.. we might just have to wait until next year but we'll try our best to find something reasonable for her.. we'll see!!! boy do i miss the days of 50% off registration for pre-school because i was a city employee... it's so expensive here!!!
anyway i havn't been too good at keeping up w/ this blog but i usually try to post at least once a week..
love to all

Half of our Live's
Well today (my birthday) is the anniversary of our offical first date 16 years ago.. which is offically half of our lives!! amazing hua!! i'll even confess,, our actual anniversary of "getting together" was a few weeks ago, but I wasn't 16 yet so it wasn' t offical until my birthday and the "offical 1st date" to Disneyland.. it's been a fun day, Ben woke up w/ the kids and made cinnimon rolls for us all (the ready made kind)..

What a difference a day makes
Just on Tuesday we were having fun in the Sun at the Beach.. today no one took off their sweaters ALL DAY!!! it didn't get above 60 degrees.. don't get me wrong i'm not complaining.. but this goes to show why no one has air conditioning.. we probably would have only used it 4 days out of the whole summer..
here are some pic's of our last day at the beach.. last day being the last day we went hopefully not the last day we'll go this year..

"Mommy what smells?"
Well i have e-mailed the vast majority of our family and friends so y'all probably know of our situation today but i thought i'd just give an update and fill in those who don't already know..
Ben's back on mornings (oh happy day!!) but that means he's up by about 1:30am, when he was up and getting ready he heard something in the trash outside so he went outside thinking it was probably an opossom or squrel.. so Ben threw some hedge clipers that were next to the back door and then saw the white stripe backing away from him.. YES A SKUNK! Ben backed into the house as quietly as he could then realized when he was in that the skunk had obviously sprayed when he was "hit"... we have no clue where he specifically sprayed but it was aweful.. and to make matters worse we don't have A/C so all the windows in the house are open and have fan's blowing air from outside in (not a good thing when it stinks outside)... Ben quickly shut the window to the side of the house that was sprayed but it was too late the whole house really stunk..
luckely it rained and got much much cooler so that helped and then we put some vinegar and some stink-b-gon stuff on the grass and house and we can hardly smell it now..
ahhh the joy's of living in the country..
thanks for all of you who e-mailed me great tips.. i think we are going to go to Pets Mart and get that enzyme stuff it's a little pricy but it would be worth it to have some on hand in case our cat runs into a skunk or if this happens again!
love to all

Grandma's Dream Come true:
Although Grandma Cathy has been and IS a great Grandma to her grandsons we all know she has secretly been awaiting the day she can share her very extensive collection of paper dolls from a magazine she really likes for YEARS.. even before KayLea was even thought of she would carefully cut out and put a magnetic back to them along w/ all their clothes and accessories.. she has taken them out before but KayLea wasn't too interested UNTIL NOW!!! KayLea and Grandma played and played and dressed and re-dressed those dolls until every combination was played..
the End of our trip to Arkansas was complete when one of the pilot's let us take a pic of Hunter reading in the pilot's seat for a contest they are doing at school over the summer "the wildest place you've read this summer".. I don't really know if you can tell where he is but once told hopefully it will all come together.. the pilot was a sweet heart and Hunter was estatic sitting in that seat!
