WELL….WHAT DO YOU KNOW….RHETT AND I ARE OLD!!!

What a week and it is only Wednesday! The girls stared school, we are full swing into soccer, I am working, Rhett is working, oh and Alex got her license :)

Yes it is true; I have a 16 year old with a drivers license. She got her drivers license today just one month and one day late. (Not so shabby for doing all her student driving and testing in another state) I was so worried all day sending my baby on her own in my car in the city, but she did great and I must say….there are some very positive sides to this arrangement. Tonight Rhett and I were busy cooking dinner (stuffed zucchini) and Alex went to get Kiara from soccer…SWEET!!!! The picture below is while we were setting on the porch swing waiting for them to get home for dinner….so dang cute

1ST DAY OF SCHOOL...Sloane, Kiara & Sage

Oh yes...we have to read, we need to get in as much reading as possible before school!!!


Alex is not so happy to be taking pictures on the lawn on the first day....I guess it is NOT COOL!

FINALLY…
This week/ month is a blur, but with it nearing an end we have actually accomplished a few things :) Rhett and I got the fence re-stained, we are continuing to nurse our lawn back to health and we finished painting the downstairs (all that is left if Kiara’s room upstairs). Rhett started his JOB so now all that’s left is for the girls to start school on Tuesday and then summer will be officially over.

First week of work for Rhett was pretty good. He had two clinic days booked a few cases and did a wash out his first day! :) Not so shabby!!!

Alex has her drivers test on Wednesday at 10:00 and then it will be official, she will have her license. I can’t believe she is that old. She is also two weeks into her junior year of high school soccer and is still trying to figure out her new team and the new position they are having her play (defensive center).

Kiara really misses NC and I am hoping she will snap out of it. She played a game on Saturday (they played the boys team and got killed) Not so fun and she is not even close to the same player she was in NC, but I think she just needs some time to adjust to her new coach. She really misses Natasha and her old team :( However, Sloane is in her class so things have to start looking up!

wow....what a month

I have not been a very good blogger, but we/I have a very good excuse :)

WELCOME HOME....right? We made it home to Utah and jump head first into life. Alex is back in soccer. Kiara has already had a soccer tournament and won, Rhett is almost ready to start his practice and I went to work two days after we landed. OK, I should have taken time off, but our house is such a disaster that I didn't want to have my work life to be crazy so I think/hope I took the lesser of two evils....time will tell.
Happy 16th birthday Alex!!! Rhett and I are still shocked to think our baby is sixteen. Is that really possible??? :)
Kiara misses her friend Natasha so much and we are very excited for school to start in hopes she will get back to herself. She is pretty sad and all she wants to do is read.
It is good to be back and we miss our friends in NC, but are moving forward with our life back in Utah.
