Grandparents Day Lunch @ Fox Run

September 19, 2008

Grandma Tonie and Grandma Riggs both got to come up to the school and have lunch with the kids. Colin got to see both Grandmas and have his picture taken with them. But Rana ate so much earlier that she didn't get to see Grandma Tonie this year so was a little upset with Colin for getting to have his picture taken with both, but she did get over it quickly.

And Volleyball Begins

Sept. 11th, 2008

Jaki made Go Team for Volleyball. They had their 1st game today and it was against Tejeda Middle School. So every Thursday evening until mid November there will be a volleyball game. Go Team has about 50 girls on it, but the coaches picked 18 or so girls from that 50 to play this 1st game, so hopefully Jaki will be pick for every game. We will have to wait and see. Below are a few pictures from her 1st game.

Grandmother's Day

Sept. 7th, 2008

Grandparent's Day was on Sunday, Sept. 7th. We celebrated by going up to Canyon Lake. The grandmas (Tonie & Lorraine) came up and played in the water at the swim area of Potter's Creek while the kids were on the boat with Devon riding around on the tube. Ella was the one who got in the water the most at the swim area, the rest of us just waded around in it. Below are some pictures of the kids on the tube and in the boat and Missy Ella in the water.

Back To School

We have made it thru the 1st week and now have almost made it thru the second week of school.

I'm not quite sure who is more tired me or them. We start our day by getting up around 6:30 a.m. and getting Colin and Rana to school by 7:05, Colin has morning patrols so he's got to be there early. Then of course he's also got to do afternoon patrols also, so we don't leave school until after 3 p.m. Jaki gets to catch the bus in the morning around 7:45, but I think she's happier with that then being a school by 6:30 a.m. for Volleyball practice like last year. The 8th grade Volleyball teams practice in the afternoon, so since she has made GO Team again this year she will be at school until 4:45 p.m. for practice at least two days a week, then plus games on Thursdays.

And of course there is that wonderful chore of HOMEWORK! So far it isn't to bad, then again this is only the 2nd week. Rana has spelling words and reading, Colin usually has math, and Jaki everyday is a new adventure for her.

Here are some pictures of the kids on the 1st day of School. Yes, it was dark. Colin had to be at school and on the stage for morning patrols at 7 a.m., so we got there by 6:55.

Colin all ready to go for Patrols.

Rana just ready for school and her teacher Mrs. Magallan.

Jaki mostly ready to go, but still had to finish some final primping.

And off we go!
