Summer is long gone and school has begun. I'm starting to fall into a nice schedule (finally!) but I seem to find my days flying by. This summer was busy so I never posted, but now things have slowed down a little bit. One of the highlights of the summer was definitely Hallie and Asher's first time riding a horse. I stayed home with Natalie and Mark took them riding. Now Hallie wants to buy some property and adopt a mustang. Then she can be a true cowgirl! I took the training wheels off this summer too and made my kids suck it up and ride. I should have done that last year because bikes are so much funner without training wheels.
We also went to Seven Peaks again this year and it was awesome! Natalie loved splashing in the water and I wasn't preggo so I could go on the slides. I took Asher on the toilet bowl slide and he freaked out! He was in front and turned around and tried to climb back by me so we tipped and lost our tube. Looking back, it was actually pretty funny but at the time it was kinda embarrassing.
Asher is in first grade this year and he loves math and science. But he mostly talks about what he ate for lunch and who he played with at recess. Hallie is in kindergarten and she has made some fun friends. She only likes school for the social aspect. I am helping out in both of their classes this year so it will be good to get to see how they act in school and who their friends are. Last year everything was too unpredictable to be able to volunteer, so I'm happy to have the chance. Natalie is scooting around on her butt, however, she won't crawl! It is strange to me because Asher and Hallie were trying to walk at her age. She talks so much. She will always say hi to Mark, Asher, Hallie, Bo, Meg, but not me. Natalie will be a talker just like Mark. She already has about 5-6 words in her vocabulary, so I'm excited. And she will be turning one next month, so that exciting too!
