Homecoming Dance

As promised here are the homecoming pictures. Jeremy took Nadirah and her friend, Kristi, on a date before the dance to teach them how a lady is to be treated.

KHS Homecoming '08

Well, I had some pictures but I accidentally deleted them from both my computer and my camera. Homecoming has been a crazy week! Nadirah got to decorate a trailer and be a part of the parade. All week at school they had themed dress days. On Friday we took 10 kids to the game (we're now 3-0)!! Bailey had a slumber party. Riley now has a girlfriend. And Nadirah's got the homecoming dance tonight. Welcome to my life ~ I love it! It's funny because so many parents fear the teenage years, but I've always been better with teens than toddlers so I'm having a blast. It's fun watching them grow up, learn some independence and yet all the while maintaing a close but changing relationship with mom and dad.

Fabian

Fabian's been kinda' bored since all the other kids are in school, but Jeremy and I have been able to take him and do a few things alone with him. Here we are in the Water Gardens just before we were yelled at and told to get out of the water. Apparently, you can't get in anymore. We also decided to celebrate his birthday with him since he lives in New York and we don't usually get to spend that day with him. We had planned on going to Six Flags with the whole fam, but it was crazy busy. We stayed for about 45 minutes, didn't ride any rides and then left. Swimming at Jesse's was way more fun and way less crowded. Oh and Mike, Fabian's brother, got to come too.

First Day of School ~ 08/09

So here are Nadirah and Bailey on the first day of school. I didn't get a picture of Riley because he was too sick to go. He had his wisdom teeth pulled on Friday and even though they promised he would be ready by Monday....he wasn't. At first Riley thought it would be great to miss the first day, but that changed quickly. Luckily he was back by Wednesday so he only missed two days. Notice Bailey on her bike. She gets to ride her bike now that she's at Bear Creek because it's so much closer. I won't let her ride alone so I ride with her and meet her in the afternoons. It's so much fun! Nadirah started high school...crazy. And she loves it...the school is huge and has tons of kids.
