So our softball has ended best as it ends for us . Did you know you can basically play any sport all year now , softball,soccer, hockey ,basketball you name it you can do it . We play in a dome on Sunday oldest does and practices once a week . Please middle one will practice once a week also and fill in on a dome team ... so oldest team which is 16u took first in the state at 18u top team in state yah go girls ! The girls played four games but they and their team just could not pull it though .
So girls have about 4 weeks off then basketball start but middle daughter playing tennis right now then possible volleyball . oldest still playing ball a few days a week and then will start hockey in a month or so also .

We had so much fun ..

When the girls where born 10 yr ago now with Aaron 9 at time and nikki 6 . we would make sure they had one on one time most weekly with at least one of us .. as they where taking over life as we know it . Then when girls started school we try to do thing one on them with them to keep them seprated as they only 10 month a part and at that time same grade . but they have grown into doing a lot the same things. same softball teams , basketball teams ,school, church . so that has ened for a while as i would have three night a month free or 4 to have one on one with them . but in aug dani wanted twins ticket for her birthday so we got her three and she took us . she saved some of her money from her birthday so she could spend what she wanted. she bought a twin hat and brandz thingy .. and had a lot of fun .. and a great game . It was fun to see her be an only child for a night and just spend time with mom and dad together . lov u Dani ! happy 10th birthday !!

Can we Spoil our children ?

So my oldest Daughter i think sometimes does understand what we give up for her . What her sibling give up ? Is it far ? Is to much to much ? Should they understand ? Should they be grateful do they know what it means at 10 or 16 . Or is it good enough for them to know when adult .I think we give her a lot . I don't want to change it and made a understand we do this but I just sometimes want her to understand it a lot . A little frustrated with her .she does not get 300.00 here and 200.00 here . ok enough for now . Just trying to understand what they should know or not .

Friday night what you moms do ....................

well am pretty tired but as a mom never ends i running (three stores) around looking for a the special graphing calculator my oldest daughter need . why do they need one that cost anywhere from 100 to 150.00 really ? if she lose it am going to beat her ... she very very spacey drives me crazy ,one of her last spacey things was i gave her the card to go put gas in car and she drop card somewhere before leaving our house as she trying to do to many things (which i dont feel is good as a teen driver ) it was out side by car on ground ahhhhh! child . am sure the girls are tired after first week poor randi has not been getting home until some days 8pm. Things to be going pretty well and everyone seems to be doing well . Aaron got now 3 weeks down of 2nd year in college girls one week down .. on a roll here .
We have only had one morning break down and possible one night break down .. so not to bad ...
So this week end my oldest daughter nik 16 has one of these $1,000 babies to care for for the week end .. ok so it was turn on at 4pm to 6pm (the teacher was nice to turn it off from 6 to 11) as it was the first football game of season at school and she dont want them there .so i already at 450 got a call saying the baby wont stop eatting , i been feeding her for 12 minutes . then she got home and said she had to pull over four times lol.so we see how this goes . do i think it helps keeps teens from getting prego ? nik say she really dont want kids and exspical young . she not a kid kid of kid . still how do we prevent teen prego ? she does had a old friend was friends with in middle school that just had a bady last month . 16 no way . at her old high school there where 8 teen prego last year . more on this after i fill out form for parents ..

And really excited about my job , it just funner with more kids .

so i love fall so it like a fresh start some feel in spring and new begining fall does the same to me. clean widow , curtins ,pond and yard all the closet . happy fall !
