hang on!

My life is a roller coaster, a topsy-turvy one that makes loop-de-loops and makes you throw up your corn dog that was purchased from a very over-priced vendor.

Okay, that was slightly exaggerative. And a little gross.

Here's an update of what we've been up to:

-I drive kids up to THREE TIMES A DAY to and from the school...there's NO bus.

-Soccer is finally over, which means that we get our Mondays and Thursday evenings and Saturdays back. Ryan coached Dawson's team this year.

-Am constantly helping/volunteering/giving/donating: time/money/blah blah blah to the kids' school...it's NEVER ENOUGH!

-Am done with earning my Medallion for Personal Progress, as a leader except for reading the B.O.M. completely. I'm in Mosiah 15.

(that's actually stinking cool, I've been working really hard on that)

-Still fulfilling my calling as a Mia Maid Advisor...and loving it. I LOVE my girls!!!

-Am participating in a 6-month MIGRAINE study to see what else can be done about this horrid headaches I get every other week.

-Ryanna's homework is very intense, she's studying stuff I didn't learn until middle school...but that's expected I suppose. (she's in the full-time G/T program)

-Did I mention that Ryanna's starting violin lessons?

-Dawson's loving Kindergarten, learning lots. He is especially loving learning Italian and has

memorized phrases to "talk" to my dad; who knows Italian.

-Carter's just Carter. He goes to Nursery without complaint now! (Huge relief) and is a big fan of Lego's, "Potter Potter" (Harry Potter) and Dragons.

-Ryan goes to work and works hard...was on the news a few weeks ago! He's so handsome and I watched it over and over and over...I'm NOT proud of him am I? His firm is doing well. If you want to see him, click HERE to see the video!

I am so excited for Halloween and can't wait to post pictures from my most favorite Holiday ever! Someday I'll get to it...
