SCHOOL DAZE....


This is some of the beautiful country we are so blessed to live in.... Chris took this picture from the top of a mountain he was camping at a couple of weeks ago....
So, school started today... I have a small quote to share with you... Raising teenagers is like trying to hang jello with a nail to a tree! It has been a rough time for us lately, and all your support would be greatly appreciated. I have to talk about it because sometimes you just need to vent. We did have a great Labor Day weekend camping as a family.... and we got some good quality time in together. We did a little rock picking in the river, some fishing (with a plastic cup!), and ate a lot of hot dogs... mmmmmmm! Anyway- with school starting, we are really hoping that Alyx can find her way this year and get some good friends and a new outlook, so here's hoping.... any advice anyone has for her, let us know... Calli had a super day- she was very brave and did not shed a tear for the first time, so I cried on the way out to the car for both of us :) Teagyn is very sad that both of her sisters are not home to hang out with her, but she is coping. I personally am very much enjoying the quiet time and free time for running around town, as well as doing my work a lot quicker!
Well, for now, that is all I have to write... keep me posted on all your goings on, everyone that is reading, and we all love you very much!
