When did this happen?

As I put one foot in front of the other and I just make it to the next time I see Jay, time has actually passed. Our little Cache man is 6 WOW! Happy Birthday Cache! Cache has always been my baby. I have know since before he was born he would be our last, so every first for him has been a last for me. Such as Cache's first steps was my last first steps. I have loved watching Cache grow and being his mom the problem is somewhere along the way I have spoiled the little bum. He thinks that with one of his crooked toothless grins he can get away with anything! He believes when mom is talking if he says, "kay" I will leave him alone. He thinks if he wants to go outside then by darn he should go outside. Tonight I realized just how spoiled he is. I was so excited for his birthday! Him and I went to a speacial lunch to McDonald's just the two of us. We had to wait to do presents and cake until after Kaelee's game, but he was just excited. Well as he was ripping through his presents without a thankyou or a wow, he let it slip that he had snooped and knew everything he was getting! Oh mom was mad espeacially after he started to lie to cover up his blunder. As you can see in his pics he was not a very Happy birthday boy will blowing out his candles! He even blew out his candles after the first "Happy Birthday to you". So now Cache is 6 and I have to realize he is no longer my baby and he can no longer be spoiled!

Scouts

Well Gavin has been wanting to be a scout since he was 18 months old and now he is. It has taken awhile to get with the right people so he could get going and tonight he got to go to his first pack night. He also got to be part of the color guard and carry the American Flag.

The First Day of School

School started this year on August 25. Cache got to start Kindergarten this year, Gavin goes into second grade, Makenzie entered Middle school and 5th grade, and Kaelee entered Jr. High going into 8th grade. They all had a great first day, even though Makenzie said, "I only got lost once."

Makenzie's master piece

This summer Makenzie got the opportunity to go to a neighbors and learn how to oil paint. She did so good that we entered her painting in the Madison County Fair. I am very proud of her and she obviously have talent (If I do say so my self).

The Jet Stream

This weekend we discovered the Fall River "Jet Stream". It is a deep channel in the Fall River were the water is very rapid with lots of underwater hydraulics. It also has cliffs, a rope swing, and a little waterfall to play in. Kaelee, Makenzie, and Gavin loved going down the "Jet Stream", Cache went down once and was happy to play in the shallow water trying to catch minnows.

musing of a crazy person

I admit I am the crazy person so here goes.






How many otter pops can a five year old eat before their tongues permanently turn blue?

How many times does a mom have to say "Close the door?" Before the kids close the door by themselves?

How many piles of laundry does it take to finally finish the job? Oh, and is OK to lock your kids in their bed rooms for an hour so it stays done for at least and HOUR?

Where exactly does all the dust come from? (Yeah I know the answer, GROSS!)

How many socks are missing their mate throughout the world?

How do single parents keep their sanity? Or are they all crazy and that is why they can smile?

How do my kids watch the same PBS episodes day after day and then get mad when I want, no Need to change the channel?

(For those who know me) How many sodas can I (the crazy woman) drink in a day?

For these and many other mysteries of the Universe there just might not be any answers!
