Living In Arizona

Why I love living in Arizona...Although it is SO hot in the morning for Tatum's soccer game (she scored 5 goals!!!) and Ry's flag football game (they lost)...we can enjoy the cool temperatures of the pool (In Mid-September). Then get home and after a bath they crash on the floor before they even get dressed!! But when morning comes and they wake up on their own...they are so stinking cute. Who cares that fall is still a month away! Luv...K

Presents from Auntie Lowi

So Great Auntie Lowi makes these wonderful pillows for everyone. A few weeks ago, she sent these to the girls. They sleep with them EVERY night. It helps them get better when they miss their aunties. Thanks Auntie Lowi for the wonderful gifts. We miss you!

Labor Day Stay-cation

So this weekend, we left on Sunday to do a one night Stay-cation in Tucson at the Westin-La Paloma. Two couples joined us (the boys had a golf outing planned for Monday). The girls had a blast in the pool. The picture is them after their baths all wrapped up in the towels!

Teagan ended up getting sick last night making my visit to a great restaurant short. If you are ever in Tucson, try Zona 78. It was great even back at the hotel an hour later.

Monday we visited Reid Park Zoo. Tucson's zoo was small, but nice. The animals were right there, so the girls really enjoyed it. Teagan is still afraid of the tortoises, unfortunately, but we had a good time. It was hot and I have now decided, I am ready for fall!!

Luv, K

School- Tatum's First Day

So this year was Teagan's first year in Preschool/ Daycare and Tatum's first year at an elementary school.

-Teagan is in the 2 year old classroom at the high school and LOVES it. The first day she came home and said, " Mommy, I paint." She was so excited to be there and it doing great!

-Tatum is my drama child. She is not full of drama, but everything around her has drama. Tatum is enrolled at my school in the preschool program. Like one week in the teacher asked me why she wasn't in Kinder. (duh? She is only 4, not 5 until December.) So, talking to the principal, his hands are tied, she it too young and the district is being not cooperative. So after toying with putting her in a charter school, she is going to Kinder half day. She stays in the morning and then G-ma picks her up at lunch time. Not sure what to do, the Kinder teacher is saying she is amazing and doesn't get why she is not there all day. So now, I am thinking do I become the psycho parent and complain at the district or do the teacher and I approach the principal and see about her "secretly" being in Kinder (shhhh! don't tell anyone).

Ugh! This is just a taste of the new school year and that doesn't even include my class!!! They are a bunch of interesting drama kids as well!

More news later...Luv K

6 months since my last post

Wow I feel like that is the start of a confessional or something! We had a busy summer visiting family and friends. I cruised with my family, we drove to Wyoming, and then went to Wisconsin/ Chicago for a wedding. I PROMISE to be better. It seems as though I am better about reading other blogs than keeping mine blog up! Here is to a new try at this blog thing.
