It's finally Friday...

And I just want to nap!!! Today was Adam's first full day at work this week. His allergies got the best of him, had him pretty out of it all week. I picked up Ryann late last night. By the time we made it home everyone was asleep. She was so out of it, when I asked her if she liked her new bed, she told me "I like it, but it's not new". Silly little girl! This morning she told me she loved it, and that it is really comfy. The kids and I went to a swimming play date this morning that was a lot of fun. I am so ready to start Aiden's swimming lessons next week. I think he is going to have a lot of fun!

The kids caught the ice cream man, for the first time since we moved her OVER a year ago! I had to stick them in the bath when they finished. Of course Aiden got the Spiderman pop, and Ryann picked the Power Puff girl. It was so cute; this was Aiden's first experience with the yummy goodness the ice cream truck brings.

We are pretty laid back this weekend, nothing planed till Sunday; when we'll watch Ashelynn at her first comp. I am SO EXCITED!!! She makes me cry, or at least tear up every time I watch her.

Monday is Ryann's first day of kindergarten! Her mommy is very impressed with the school and her teacher. More importantly, Ryann is super excited to start!!! I still can't believe she is this big already; it seemed to happen over night!!!

We hope you all have an amazing weekend!

Ashelynn's FIRST Level FIVE meet!!!!!!

This is a copy of the email Jennifer sent out. If you would like Jenn's contact info please let me know. Also, if you would like to go; but don't want to drive let me know - we might be able to car pool.

Well, our little athlete has surpassed all the coaches' expectations and will be competing in the first level 5 gymnastics competition of the season after all! Originally, we didn't expect her to compete until the spring, because typically new level 5's take at least a semester just to master the skills and learn the routines. But then a few weeks ago, her coach said that Ashelynn was making such awesome progress that she would probably get to compete in maybe the last half of> the fall season. To my surprise, I received an e-mail from the coach today saying that she> is ready to compete in the first meet, which is August 25 in Plano. I don't have times yet, but will let you know as soon as I do.

I'm so proud of her because the coach said that very few girls make such progress so quickly and it's almost unheard of to be> ready for competition so soon after moving up levels. YAY ASHELYNN!!

Anyway - as usual, Ashelynn would love to see all her supporters in the stands, so let me know if you can make it. I'll send out the times as soon as I get them.
