Weekly update or journaling!

Well I am glad to see Bailey has found her camera and is posting again. My sister Chauntel got a new van. Her first van ever. She has had a vehicle with no air and in a car that hardly fit all three car seat. I am so happy for her.

Well last Friday we took Kamden to another performance. There were only a few of her groups performing. She did really well. They performed at Sausage Fest. Ryan and I had never been to Sausage Fest in all the years we have lived here. Very kid friendly I thought it was more of a drink fest. After she was done performing we stood in line for cotton candy for about 30 -40 minutes. The kids were very glad though.

Saturday we slept in well kind of we didn't get up early and going boating. We went out about 11:30. It was kind of funny. Levy is about 20 minute out and we got almost to the road that leads down to the water but we forgot to pick up the pizza. I didn't have food all prepared so we thought we would just pick up $5 pizza. So we went all the back to town. To a place that already has pre made pizza. Only they didn't have any cheese already made and they forgot to so we were there about 25 minutes and for that we got 1 free bag of crazy bread. Anyway we drove all the way back out there and when we got there the park was closed. We don't know why so we drove back into town and went to hood park. Hood park is on the other side of the bridge in Burbank. There we probable 30 trailers but we only saw maybe 3 boats. We don't know where they went. We took the boat over to the blue bridge and tried out our new tube that 3 people can ride. We had a good time are new tube catches some really good air. Even Cole likes to ride on it.

Sunday Ryan had to leave for Lake Chelan for a week. We went to Melanie's (Ryan's moms) for dinner. Dennis (his dad) was sick so it was Melanie and I and the kids. It was nice then we went over to mom and dad's to pick up the paper. Dad was sick and it was late so we didn't stay to long. I was starting to get sick and Cole is still sick he has been sick for a week and 1/2 now.

Monday mom and dad helped me out dad picked up Cole and took him to his football game. While I took Kamden to tap/ballet. Her and Carter fell asleep on the way to Cole's game. Cole did really well and they won there 3 game in the row. They beat the best time in there league. So they will get a straight shot to there super bowl.

Tuesday we picked Cole up for piano and they canceled his football practice until Wednesday because they won. So I got to study for my lesson.

Wednesday my V.T. partner scheduled appointment for today we we I switch to go into Cole's class until Friday. It was nice to go out visiting. We had a BBQ in July so we haven't been out since then. So it is nice to see the women again. We picked up Cole and his friend to take them to scouts. I found out there is a tree at the church that they climb in while they are there. He is definitely a boy. It is not a small tree. We took Cole to practice last night even though it was raining hard. There were only 3 of the nine time there. I think they only practiced because they hadn't the night before. He was so wet probable not good for him since he is still sick.

We are really missing Ryan he is sick to. They are doing a Walmart up in Lake Chelan. Even though they don't allow fast food they are putting in a Walmart. I asked Ryan what fast food restaurant they are putting in Walmart he said Subway. He also said it is 1 mile out of city limits. That is how they got it put in there.

Bassett Family Here!

Sunday was a little weird we went to church with just Carter it was pretty quite. Ryan and I got to sit next to each other. After church we went over to Dennis and Melanie's for dinner with all the family. Boyd (Melanie's brother) and his family came over too. We had a birthday celebration for Cole, Ryan, Megean (Boyd daughter) and grandpa Hughes. If you can see the cake it has I think like 132 or something on it. It is all the birthday's put together.

Monday Kamden and Cole went to school and then I picked them up at 11:30 and we head out to meet the rest of the Bassett family to go boating. We went to a different park then we had been to before. It was weird there was no one there but us. It was a pretty nice day 89 better than on Saturday when we went. Anyway we had lunch and then all headed out on the boat. DJ and Cole went on the tubes then Denny and Teresa and then Ryan and Denny. We ripped one of the tubes so we put Cole on that tube and Ryan on the other and then I hit a rock bar. I messed up the prop and the fin. Ryan and I got out and started kicking and Denny started paddling. But we were going against the current. We really weren't going anywhere. So Ryan started the boat and we just went really slow back. I am so glad we made it back to shore. I think we would have been out there forever. There was no one out there and we weren't going very fast kicking. So the day was over before it really even started. I felt bad for Denny and his family it wasn't much fun on the boat Saturday being cold and Monday messing up the prop. We left Ryan took the boat in to be worked on and I took Kamden to Ballet/Tap. I later meet Ryan and his family at Cole's football game. Then we all went out to dinner at Applebee's.

Denny and his family and grandpa all went home on Tuesday morning. It was fun to have them here. Cole had a blast and so did Kamden playing with cousins. We had to get back into the swing of things. Cole has been sick he can hardly talk but he has been going to school and football. He also had paino on Tuesday. He is starting to get ready for his piano recital.

Wednesday Carter stayed and played at mom's while I went into Cole's class. They have finally taken some kids out of Cole's class. It is better not great but better. Kamden is loving preschool. One of her friends started coming to her preschool last Friday. So now she knows someone. We took Cole and his friend to Scouts. It was his second week but first week to do something fun. Last week was pack meeting. He loves it so far. I hope he will continue to love it. I am so ready to be done with football. Cole seems to really like it but I think it is to much. Four days a week is to much at least for me.

Today I finally had a chance to start working on my lesson for the following Sunday. Kamden had a friend over to keep her busy so she wouldn't bother me. That didn't work very well today. The friend drove me nuts following me and asking me questions about every 2 minutes. Carter has been really fussy the last two days it looks like another tooth. This makes 7 in the front. There are two in the back trying to come in for the last month. Cole's football coaches bought new jersey they didn't like the ones they gave them. So tonight they are taking more pictures. These coaches have bought them two practice jerseys, a football bag and game jerseys or and water bottles. I guess how they look is important?

Kamden's First Day!

Hey it has been to long again. Monday we forgot to get pictures the camera was in the boat and I was on land most of the day. The Schultz's Mom, Dad, Jillian, Kim and Kara and Melanie, Bret and his family we all went out boating for the Labor Day. It was so hot is was in the high 90's. It was a nice relaxing and fun day for everyone.

Tuesday I was really sick. I think I might have had a cyst rupture. So I didn't get much done and the kids were really good for me and they got along that was so nice. Kamden was a big helper.

Wednesday was Kamden's first day of preschool. She loves it. She gets to take a backpack to school like Cole. She really wants to take a lunch to school. I went to school to help out with Cole's class today wow 34 kids is a lot for one class room. His teacher does really well with them. I took in cupcake drinks and suckers he loved that so did the other kids. It is nice to only have to learn a few kids names this year. They are going to pull out 5 kids out of Cole's class this next week and bus them to another school. They are only allowed to have 29 in 2nd. I forgot to take pictures while I was at Cole's school. Mom and dad came over after football and brought Cole a donut for his b-day.

Thursday I had a friends kids all day while she was at work. Her babysitter was out of town. It was not to bad they helped to keep the kids busy. I got the yard taken care of and the downstairs cleaned. Ryan's brother came into town on friday so I wanted cleaned. Thursday after football was Cole's first night of scouts he thought it was so cool. He also had is baptismal interview with the bishop. Jillian came over and watched the kids while they were sleeping and I took Ryan out for dessert at Applebee's for his birthday. It was fun and very nice of Jillian.

Friday Kamden and Carter helped me get things put together for Cole's b-day party. Then after school we all headed over to Ryan's parents house to see Denny (Ryan's brother) and his family. We had dinner and stayed up late playing cards. Cole stayed the night with his cousin DJ. They were up all night.

Saturday we were very busy getting ready for Cole's party. Cole seemed to have a really good time. It was a water themed party. It has been in the 90's all week and Saturday it was in the low 80's and very windy. Go figure! The kids seem to have a great time though. Once they all left we and Ryan's family went down to the park for a BBQ and boating. We went out but boy was it cold. I am so glad we got wetsuits. I don't know about anyone else but they sure help. Once you got wet the wind really didn't help keep you warm. It was fun and Denny's family loved it. We went back over to Dennis and Melanie's and played cards until 11pm. The kids were all asleep before we even got into pasco.

This morning we had to wake the boys up at 9 for breakfast they were still sleeping. Grandma Bassett has taken Cole and Kamden to church with the cousin this morning. So we just have Carter. It is so quite around here. We are going to church just the three of us today how wired. I hope they were good for grandma they are so tired.

One week of school down!

Well I think it was good to have a 1/2 week the first week of school. Cole has been very tired and I think maybe getting a little sick. His coach's let them out early on Thursday. He knew it had been a long week with school starting.

Friday Ryan and I had blood work done we are adding more life insurance. It was the funniest thing the lady told me not to lift the kids for 3 hours after the blood draw because I would bruise. I have had blood work done before and had kids and never buised. So she said o.k. you shouldn't we just have to tell you that. So sure enough I bruised. I think it is only because she said something. Melanie came and picked up Kamden and took her out for the afternoon. The went to buy plants for the house and groceries. Then they went and had dinner and mini golfe and then the went and got there nails done and grandma picked Kamden up a new school outfit. We meet up with them later that night for dinner. It is always nice to have a break and it was very nice of grandma bassett Kamden had a great time. She can now pick out the nail salons. Oh great!

Saturday we spent all day out on the river with Jillian and Alexis. The kids had a good time. It took until probably 1 in the afternoon to warm up. We were out with sweaters on in the morning. Not like it had been two weeks ago. So the pictures up top are of Carter and the other one is Ryan, Jillian, Kamden and Cole and Alexis. The took a little hike up the hill behind the beach. The was very little almost no beach on Saturday. They hadn't let any water down off the dam. Two weeks ago we had a big beach yesterday we maybe had 5 feet wide of beach. We made do and still had a great time.

I am looking forward to attending Sunday School with Ryan. There has not been very many Sundays that we have done that.
