Funny mistake

I looked at my blog several times over the last week and new something was wrong but I just couldn't put my finger on it....today it dawned on me what it was. The pictures in the header were from two years ago not last year, hahahahahahaha! I've since updated the header with last years pictures. We'll be having new family pictures made soon so they'll be updated again in the next few months....silly me.

Nathan has his MRI this afternoon. I'm sure it will be several day before we know anything but as soon as we do we'll let everyone know the details.

Kinzi broke her big toe last week at school during Kempo (like Karate) class. It's getting better this week but it's very sore and a lovely shade of purple with some swelling.

This week we really saw a turn around with the kids socially at school. Nathan has 3 boys that he's made friends with that all eat lunch together. Kinzi started making friend this week as well and has even invited someone over. I hope we can get that arranged for her.

Scruffy got 70% of a haircut. He gets grumpy about it after a while.

Chuck is busy as usual. He going through Air War College and as a part of that has to take Spanish. He's using the Rosetta Stone series. He's el loco when he chit chats in spanish...hehehe sorry honey. He's playing lots of golf in the afternoons in this terrible heat but it's tons cheaper so he just makes the best of it. He's also been working out like crazy and he's in terrific shape.

We have had some crazy thunderstorms the last couple of nights. Sahuarita is a mess, some of our tiny levees broke and debris is everywhere.

My time isn't my own all the sudden. Depending on the day, I spend 2 to 4 hours on the road getting my kids to and from school in town. We have high hopes it will all be worth it.

Updating Blog Look

I'm in the process of updating the look of my blog....so if things look a little funny....I've made a mistake and am working on it! You see pretty much the basics but I have to reload some things on the Sidebar and many things are not cooperating. All will be normal soon!

School Started

The kids started their new school last Monday. The first week went very well. We're still happy that we made the move and as we expected the only "bla" part is the drive into town. Once we get into a groove it'll be better. The kids schedules are pretty rigorous. Nathan has Algebra II, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Economics, Art, Social Students, English, and Latin. I may be forgetting something but right now I don't remember. Kinzi has AP Math, Language Arts, Science, Geography, Latin, Kempo for PE, Art, Music and a class called Classics. They study Greek and Roman culture....perfect timing since we were just in Rome. They are busy but not horribly so. I think Kinzi is planning on trying out for the theatre group.

This weekend they both has miserable colds to end their first week of school....poor kids.

They spent the weekend playing game and having fun. Kinzi made an animation that I can't wait for you to see.

My best friend, Diane and I went to see Mama Mia for the second time this weekend. We love that movie. If you haven't gone to see it take a bunch of girls and go have a good time. It's really good!!!

Meet Brutus

Well....you met some of our tiny froggie friends in previous blog entries... now meet the opposite end. This is Brutus, he greeted me this morning by jumping at me while I was closing the door when I was leaving to take the kids to school. I spent all day in town while the kids were in school and when I came home, he was still here.....snoozing by the cactus.

This sucker is the size of the small Chihuahuas that live down the street. Not only is he huge, he's poisonous. He's a Colorado River Toad. Don't know if you can see the white pockets on the side of his face, but that's what's poisonous. If Scruffy was to get him....it wouldn't go well for Scruffy. I was going out tonight with the bucket to send him on a flying leap over the fence and he was gone.

The kids started school yesterday but I'll wait until the end of the week to update everyone.
