Well, sad to say but it is almost the end of summer. It's getting darker earlier and the leaves are starting to change color. Keira started preschool at the end of August. The kids start Sunday School Sept. 11th. The kids start their Fall/Winter sports in the next couple weeks, so we are staying busy. I figured it was probably the last time we would use the pool. So, I snapped a couple pictures of the kiddos playing in the water.

The 3 kids playing together!

One semester down one more to go. I only have 4 more classes left till I graduate. This semester I am struggling for some reason. I have only had 2 classes this last 8 weeks but one of my classes is kicking my butt! I am getting a C in one of my Pscyh. classes, which is very rare for me since I am used to getting As & Bs. Next Spring is going to be tough with my classes, I have 4 classes at the same time, 2 of them are 16 week and 2 of them are 8 week. The first 8 weeks with all 4 classes are going to be tough, but the last 8 weeks with only 2 classes should be pretty good. I am almost done with my finals for this semester, didn't really have any finals just a lot of 8-10 page papers. I have one 3 page paper and I will be done for this semester.

We went Christmas shopping this week and I think we are done. We are going to take Keira and Aden to see Santa some time this week, probably the weekend. It is time for Keira to know who Santa is and start getting excited about Santa coming. Dan is taking 2 weeks off between Christmas and New Years, looking forward to that :) I am thinking about making Christmas cookies with Keira as a start of a tradition each year, we will see how that goes... wish me luck :)
She is usually good about helping mommy, but she always wants to taste everything.

Our team had a pretty good night Sunday for leagues. We won all 6 and each of us shot in the upper 40s out of 50. I shot pretty good and beat Dan for the night, Dan shot a 42 and I shot a 43.

Pretty relaxing morning. Keira is sitting on her pillow on the couch watching toons and Aden is still sleeping in his crib. Aden did wake up at 4:30 this morning, he goes back to sleep pretty easily after he eats. Not much planned for today just probably play on the floor with the kiddos.

I know Dan feels bad each night he plays pool and I appreciate everything he does. I got out a couple times by myself these last couple weeks. We didn't play our pool leagues because of Thanksgiving so I went to a pool tournament here in Lincoln at Drifter's. I am usually pretty nervous when it comes to pool tournaments because I am not as good as most of the people I play but I try. This was a nine ball tourny and they go by your ranking. I am rated a 3 (the lowest you can go), everyone else was rated at least a 4, the highest rating was a 9. I got a bye my first match, won my second, then lost and went into the loser's bracket. I won my first match in the losers bracket then ran into a 9 and lost. That week I got 7th out of 18 ,that is pretty good for me. I went to the pool tourny again last week because it was my turn to be off of leagues for the week. I went to the same place. This time I lost right away so I was in the loser's bracket. I won my second, third, and fourth match, so by then I was in the money. I finally met my match with a 9 player again and lost. I got 5th out of 22 that day, cashing out $15 for the day only making $2.

I really enjoy the time with the kids, but I enjoy the time to myself as well. I really appreciate everything Dan does for me. I know I don't show it enough or tell him enough. I don't know how he does it, going to work everyday then coming home and caring for the kids while I do my homework.

Well, better go for now and spend some time with the kids.
