Yes we are still here...

just been crazy busy lately. We aren't really people that like to sit still, but been running none stop lately. I've started working 5 days at 2 different school teaching two completely different age groups (2's and Pre-K). It's still busy season for Brandon which is good, but means we rarely see him before 7 (he often goes a couple days without seeing Cash at all). And the boys are adjusting well to be in school 5 days. Parkes I knew would love it, but wasn't sure about Cash. Cash has really come into a big funny personality keeping his teachers and classmates very entertained with his talking and dane moves. And seems are weekends are staying just as busy. So we are doing great just short on time while I get into a good schedule with everything to do at home while working 5 days. It is a little bit of a challenge working as a preschool teacher as if I chose another profession I could squeeze in some kid-free errands instead of trying to take the kids after a long day at school when they are grumpy to go do what I need to do, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I enjoy being able to know exactly how they are doing in school and really see how much they are loved by the whole school not just their teachers plus I get lonely running errands alone and not having the nonstop jabbering (whining). I'll post pictures soon...promise.

Parkes' First Tee Ball Game

This morning Parkes had his first tee ball game. It came about just last night when our neighbors at porch talk asked if he wanted to play with their son. We figured he would since it was with his neighbor and got him geared up and ready to go this morning...he had different thoughts though. He immediately told us he didn't want to play, but just watch (why he's never done any sports/lessons before this). So we told him to just try it and see what he thought when he was done. This is at warm ups...not willing to give in and participate. Then they asked him to run and he figured why not. The coach gave him his spot...still not looking so sure about all this. He enjoyed kicking the dirt around. Batting was definitely more exciting. And running the bases was really exciting that after he made it to home he ran right back to first. (They just play everyone hits each inning and everyone gets to run one base per hit). At the end of the game he was having fun chasing the ball as it was hit so he decided he wanted to keep playing. He did ask his coach several times when they were going to be done so he could get some fruit snacks. So looks like our weekends will be filled with fall ball.

Ready for some Football

Well I don't have any pics of the boys so I'll post this picture of Brandon excited for the first Alabama game. He and a friend went down to hear some big alabama guy who did something big in a big game (see how well I listen) talk a couple weeks ago. We are busy with training and the start of school next week and another job offer to teach Parkes' class the two days I'm off at another preschool so we will all be going to preschool 5 days a week at two different schools....hopefully I will keep it all straight.
