Just a catch up!

  

      Hello everyone!
  We are doing well. We are doing school three days a week and Conner still loves it, so thats good, right? We start Awanas tomorrow night, I will be helping in the nursery again, I am excited to help and hang out with the little ones. Conner will be in his second year of Awanas, Yay! I will try to get Carter to go to Puggles, but not sure how he will do. If he screams and cries they probably won't want him in there too long. Anyways, we are keeping busy and still looking for a house. I have come to the conclusion that we will probably end up waiting until spring and maybe our dream house will pop up. I am just leaving it Gods hands and waiting. I hope all is well with everyone else too!
 Conner doing school and Carter learning too.

                             This is how much I sweat after a 1/2 hour workout, ya its not a whole lot, but I dont usually sweat at all. I workout at the Armory every Tuesday night, its free, we do P90X and INSANITY (and yes, its insane, but great)!
               My dad got the boys these Magoformers, so cool. They keep the boys entertained for a long time.
                Conner made this star from looking at the pic of it. He said, I am going to make a star and well look at that he did, so awesome!

Camping trip in Herbster

 

         The summer is almost done, wow! We had a great summer and for me I accomplished getting an "A" in my summer college class. Yay! And now I am taking an Ms Word A online class, so I am keeping up with that and also I am now one of the three leaders for MOPS group at my church. So we have meeting every week and discuss the plans for crafts, guest speakers, and so on. That will be starting in October, this is the first time MOPS has ever been in Rice Lake, so we are excited and hope alot of moms join.
    I have also decided to homeschool Conner and today was our first day. I asked him if he liked homeschooling after we were done and he said, yes, very happily. So yay! I always used to be the teacher to my stuffed animals when I was little so I think I am bwell prepared, hehe. ;)
    We went on our annual family camping trip last weekend. This year I picked going to Herbster and Josh thought that sounded good, so we went. We wanted to be right on the lake but this they were full, so we got a spot in the woods. There was a sign that said, put all food away so the bears don't come out, so that was great to know. And thankfully the neighbors had a dog, so we were good. We stayed for two days and one of the two days we went to Bayfield, I have never been there, so Josh wanted to show me. It was beautiful there, we saw the Apostle Islands too. We spent the day there and swam most of the time and then just walked around and looked at the pretty sights. All the people camping in Herbster were friendly and some had really cute dogs. Our neighbors guard dog was named, Duke, loved the name and he was so cute. So glad we went. Hope to write sooner next time. Have a good rest of the summer! :)
