playing catch up

The first week of school was busy & HOT!! The first thing to mention is that my little guy got his braces off on Friday.
Isn't he just too handsome??? It was amazing to look at his before and after pictures. Now he just has to make sure he wears his retainer at night so he doesn't have to wear braces twice like Colin!!!!
On Thursday PHS had their first football game against Madison. Ron chaperoned at the game, and discovered that chaperones don't really get to watch the game. He was busy filling up water bottles and collecting flip folders during halftime. In addition to keeping a close eye on his firstborn!
I skipped the game and went to my book club meeting. This month we discussed The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks. It was so much fun, and Stephanie did an excellent job with dinner. I'm really loving being in a book club, and hanging out with my girlfriends.
Now onto the business of this hot weather. I seriously can't remember it EVER being this hot here.......I mean 105 degrees??? That's just crazy! So to combat the heat, I decided to try making grilled pizzas. I had heard people talking about how easy they were to make & they weren't lying!! We made cheese & pepperoni pizzas & both the boys LOVED them. To quote Colin....."they are very good & filling........like restaurant quality good" and that my friends put a smile on my face~
The recipe for the pizzas was from Weber's Grilling cookbook, just in case anyone wants to try them.

1st day of school

Well, here they are all dressed & ready for school! Colin was up at 5:45 am & is "official" attending PHS.........no more of that 9th grade center nonsense!!! A lot of good it did me anyway~

Here's the little guy. He was up at 7:15 or more like 7:25 to get ready for school. He's now a big guy on campus being that he's an 8th grader. I'm so hoping that he has a great injury free year!!!


I found my missing photos and have lots of stuff to post this week. I just hope that I find the time to get on the computer & get back to blogging!!

I'm trying people!!!

So I haven't blogged in so long that I've forgotten how to get my photos to post here. Yikes!! I'm sure it has something to do with the recent updates to our system. I'll figure it out later & post photos from the boys first day of school. Right now I need to go & pick up Ethan.........
