Still here….

Been a while since I have done a post. Life happens huh! Everyday! Past the midterm point in classes, now is when they really start piling on the studies. I have approx. three semesters left then I will graduate!! Yea, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. In March I sit for the RN entrance exam. This coming spring semester all my general ed.  will be done. Been in college now for 2 years. Sure doesn't seem like it has been that long.

We have been remodeling the house as well. Yesterday a warm fall breeze was blowing and we opened all four of the French doors, what a great breeze and the sound of the fall leaves blowing outside was most awesome!

Our chicks we bought in the fall, suppose to be all hens, but what do we hear coming out of the hen house…EEERRRRERRRRR…. yep that was a rooster crow… ow but not just one…TWO!!  I sure hope they can get along, if not one is gona become chicken and dumplings! We ordered all  hens but yet we also got two roosters in the mix. Love hearing a roosters crow, I just hope they will get along, and not fight over all those ladies…there's plenty to go around boys!

Fall happenings..

Bought a pontoon boat on our last camping trip on Aug 23…our first boat.

Ordered baby chicks,25 to be exact from McMurray Hatchery

Tyler's in band for 6th grade and is going to play drums. So we had to rent his instrument for now..but he starts on bells and works up to playing the drums, he is excited, we woke up this morning to the sound of him playing the bells…thank goodness it isn't the drums just yet ;)

we went out on the boat yesterday from 9:30am to 4:20, and the lake is way down so everyone was swimming on the sand bar out in the middle, including us. it was a hopping place.

I’m suppose to be studying my algebra, but I can’t focus till I do this!

School anxiety ….

I can feel the end of summer anxiety rearing its ugly, ugly head!! What do I want to do before school starts back on the 17th… what do I need to get done before that day gets here!!

It is RUSHING in at Nano speeds…

I go back to college the 17th, the boys go back to school the 18th!!

Homework stress will soon be here….

Right now have apples from off our apple trees on the dehydrator, yum!!  (no pics feeling lazy)

We went to the Puxico Homecoming last night, it was hot, Bailey rode the mechanical bull, that was a hoot!!

Had a funnel cake…. $5.00 bucks for a funnel cake!! And they are shrinking!! LOL

And the squaredance band was there in full swing and they started playing Boil the Cabbages on the fiddles…… and I was like

“Dude, I know how to totally play that on my violin”!!  COOL BEANS

and so can Bailey!!  Bailey was like… “We totally need to get up there and play that”!!

Vacation gone….

Time flies when your having fun! How cliché' is that! From the 29th to the 2nd we went to Branson, again!! I had to tell hubby that we are going somewhere new next year!!

Not that I dont love pigging out at the Krispy Kreme, everytime we we seen this light on… but I dont know how much more my waistband could take it!!

Please excuse these here children.. with them standing by the General Lee and me telling them to smile at the same time was just to much for them to take.. hence the facial expressions…

Cool place…course I guess it has to be so the peeps dont melt..ha ha

Fog down by The Landing… not a really bad pic!

Here is a couple of group shots of us..one I’m in because hubby took the pic, the other I’m not in cause well I was manning the camera!

Not in… as there was many not in..some had to leave right after the concert.

Many of the adults not in the pic, I in this one though! We have so much fun in our little orchestra group!!

Earlier in the week we went on a road trip to Hawn Park, nice place, but it sure would be a long way to pull the camper!!

Its nice to be home for a while..this weekend had been crazy busy!
