New School New goals

So I have not updated this blog for far to long and apologize for those of you who check it. I get lazy with updating it because most of the people who would check in on them are on FB and get to see pictures of what we have been up to. However, I remembered the main reason why I started this blog, for my kids someday. So it is almost the start of the school year so I am going to try to update this again once a month! For those of you who do check this feel free to send me reminders if you do not see anything by the end of September.

The summer went by far to quickly and I can not even believe this is the week school starts. Kasey is starting her Kindergarten Prep class and Wylie starts at EP Rock in Kindergarten (full days). I thought I was ok with the whole thing but as the day gets closer I am realizing I am not handling it overly well. I am not ready to send him out to the big world of "elementry school." Both kids seem excited for the start of the year as I think they are getting bored at home.

We had a great summer and did lots of fun things. Wylie played soccer and really enjoyed it. He will be playing again this fall. He absolutely loves baseball and playing kickball. He is a true Twins fan and watches the entire game, if allowed he watches everygame. Jacques has taken him to two games so far and another one next week. They both enjoy that time together! Kasey is growing into such a unique individual. She turned 4 and just embraced it and thinks she is such a big girl now. She has gotten into playing dress up too lately. Tori, well what is there to say about Tori. If you have not spent time with her it is hard for you to really know her. She is the spark of our family and truly makes us laugh everyday. She is going through a phase where nearly everything "scares her" and she will tell you. "That scare me, " is something I hear dozens of times a day. Her very first sentence was, "Kasey I am talking to you!" I think that is really cute!

We made it to the beach a handful of times, numerous play ground (mom is done with play grounds), the MN zoo 3 or4 times, and out camping a few times. We also had the Sieburg family reunion in Brimley, Mi in July. We have this every three years and it is always so fun to see everyone. Kids did great during the 11 hour car ride, only stopping two times on the way up. They were great the week we were there and the ride home again. It got both Jacques and my brain cranking as where we can road trip next . . . a possibility is Fort Meyers, FL this spring for the Twins Spring Training and also a visit to the ocean . . . we will see if we are that brave!

Ok wish us luck as we start this new chapter this week. Hoping Wylie stays strong and confident and enjoys his first day of Kindergarten.
