We haven't had too many rides with daddy lately- it's getting close to that time of year when the leaves are changing colors, we're thinking about pumpkins and Halloween. So that means that Eric has to work extra hours at work and some more hours on the weekends. I love this picture because Jace thought it would be cute to wink (as if he's not already cute enough).
Jace turned 5 on July 22nd. He helped pick out the "Dudes" for his cake. I can't believe that he is getting so big. Anyone know how to keep them from growing?
Jace and Mommy.
Pres & Jace
Remember the times you actually got along with your siblings? They will sit like this and spin for hours. I love it when they play so well together.

For some odd reason I can't get pictures to post right now. Anyone else ever have this problem? I click on Add picture and nothing happens.

School - school - School!

It's been a few weeks since my last post so let me give you the update. All three boys are in school now. Kenny has a great teacher this year. She is very nice and encouraging. He loves to go every day. He is glad to be back in the swing of things - but has more homework than he did last year. I guess that is what happens when you go to third grade. Preston is not loving this year yet. He started first grade and is adjusting to his new teacher. She seems to be a little more strict than his teacher last year. Hopefully she'll get the picture that not everyone of her students is a "perfect - quiet - listen to my every word" student. I love Preston to death - sometimes he is just a little like a boy. Gee - last time he was running around the house in his birthday suit - he was. Sorry - I am just a little frustrated with her right now. Jace has started school. He had a rough first week - he's getting used to have a early bedtime and getting up early too. Now that it's the second week of school - he's liking it better and getting used to not hanging out with mommy all day. I think that he misses running errands with me (he gets a treat) and having me all to himself. (At least that's what I would like to think.) I do miss him but it's a nice welcome break. For those of you wondering what it's like - It's back to before I had kids you know - very quiet - I don't do much. We are getting ready to move into a house across the street so I will be very busy the next 10 days - and then I get to unpack it all. Anyways - I don't know when will get to post again..... it may be a few weeks.

Are you happy now MEL? I posted.

A Little Update

Well as our summer break comes to an end I can not wait. I have been back to school shopping and getting all the clothes, new shoes, and all those school supplies - It's coming up... Yes the first day of school...... We asked the boys last night who was excited about going to school. Everyone but Kenny raised their hand. Preston looks over and says "Kenny, we get to use our new backpacks!" We just laughed. It's been a summer full of the pool and trips to the library. But Mommy is so ready for the boys to be in school again. I love them to death but some days they just don't get along and it makes for a long day. So - the countdown is on... six days until they ALL go. Can you actually believe it... my baby just turned 5 last week and now he's off to school. He's been very hesitant about even talking about it - so we will see how his first day goes. As for me - I have to put off school for a semester - I need to be a resident for a year and then I will apply...... so I will be working or taking it easy.... watching TV and eating Bon Bons.

We will be moving again in a few weeks...... we are renting a house across the street. It's a house and there is a back yard (which we are very excited about). Hopefully we will make friends that can come play at our house. They boys have missed that so much.

Anyways - that is my update for now..... I'll post pic's of the boys in their new backpacks.

Memories of The Wilderman's

Do you have memories of me? My friend did a post and I thought this would be fun.

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog (if you want) and see how many people leave a memory about you.It's actually pretty funny to see the responses.If you leave a memory about me, I'll check your blog to see if you've copied this to play.I would love to read comments

Kenny turns 8

We celebrated Kenny's 8th birthday on June 23rd. It's so weird to think that it's been that long. It doesn't seem like it's been EIGHT years.

Kenny was baptized on July 5th. He was pretty nervous - just didn't know what to expect. Thanks so much for all those that came and helped us out.

What we did for the fourth.....

Cousins Jonathan and Austin eating pizza
Cousins Austin and Ryan with Kenny. They were all jumping in the pool and having fun.
Jace and Jonathan hanging out on the stairs.
We went to hang out with our cousins and Aunt Phyllis at the pool on the fourth of July. We were there for most the day. We had so much fun hanging out with cousins and we even ordered pizza at the pool. The kids thought it was so cool that it was delivered TO the pool. Talk about hungry boys. Those of you with boys - start svaing your money now. They scare me how much they can pack down and then do it all again 10 minutes later as if they had not eaten at all.

While we were up visiting the family I took the boys to Stone Mountian for the laser show. I thought that they would love it. They tought the lasers were cool but hated the fireworks. Apparently, they were "too loud" - I guess they were soft last year. Maybe I will wait a few more years to take them back again.

We came home and Eric went back to work. It was nice having him home for a week. Now were trying to find a house to rent (everyone is selling). We have been in an apartment since we moved down here and we are ready to have a back yard again. We have enjoyed the apt. - mostly the pool - but we just need someplace for the boys to run, dig and ride their bikes.
