School has started

Emily is off to 7th grade and doing great, Jon is a Senior this year!!!  Caleb started 5th grade, and Michael signed up for a surgical tech class at the Technical College.

Things are going pretty good for all of them so far.  Caleb wrote a touching "memoir" about his Grandpa Lionel and got an A on it.  Emily is auditioning for honor's choir, and Jon is rockin his chemistry class.  Mike, too, is pulling off awesome grades so far.

Proud of them all!!

Where to start?

Once again, I haven't blogged in a long time.  Been busy with football, baseball, dog training, and Emily's play, choir, and voice lessons.

School has started, the puppy is growing, and things are going pretty good.  No eggs from our chickens yet, but this, too, shall start soon. 

Jon got his driver's license finally!  Passed his first time, he just waited a year with is permit to try.  Now he just needs to save up some $$ to get the car we have for him up and running.

For me pictures say it best, so I'm just going to post lots of pics, and hope you do enjoy...
I'll start with Caleb getting to play at the Metro-Dome.  That was a fun experience.  His team didn't win, but it was still a lot of fun for him to be playing right where the Vikings do!

School days, School days, good old golden rule days... (Is that even how it goes?? haha)

Well....the summer has come to an end for Miss Emily and Caleb.
Emily started 7th grade yesterday, and Caleb started 5th. 
Unreal.  Jon starts his SENIOR year next Tuesday, and Michael started classes at the technical college yesterday, too.

Jon turned 17 on August 13th, which I will blog about separately as soon as he lets me get some updated pics of him!  He also got a new job at Subway right up the road, so that is awesome.

Emily has her first play rehearsal tonight for Alice in Wonderland, and Caleb has been busy in football and fall baseball.  He practices 2 1/2 hours every night even in this awful heat.
He loves it though.  He is doing awesome, and I am proud of him.  He is a hard little worker.

Juno is growing, and currently in week 3 of level 1 training.  She graduated from Puppy K.  Gabe is relaxin, just waiting for October to come along so he can himself some pheasants.
The chickens are growing and are no longer little and cute.  They will start laying eggs starting mid September I think...

Here are a few pics.  Enjoy!

1st day of school
