Aloha

Mom and Dad came home from their mission.  They say they are going to stick around for awhile so we will see what that means.




Mom and Dad were only home for 4 days before they flew to California to pick up their car. One of those 4 days I had to take breakfast to the Ballroom team.  This is a major ordeal because I have to have breakfast ready for 33 kids by 7:30 am.  Mom and Dad came and helped me that morning.  Between mom, dad and Adam this breakfast went so smoothly.

Birthdays

Can you believe Gabe would be 11 years old?


Even more shocking is that Avram is now 16!  He is currently in drivers ed so he still has a lot to do before he gets his license.

Football

Watch out for #79.






We have really enjoyed watching Avram play football this fall.  Avram has some good coaches and they are having a great season.  They have won 5 games and have only lost 1.  I have felt very blessed that he hasn't had any major injuries.

If you ever watch Kjazz high school football the night they showed WX Avram was on the screen a lot.  He doesn't play varsity but he is with the team during the game.



Football has helped Avram a lot, socially.  He is loving High school.

Water

So this is our water trail.  The contractor has been contacted about the repair but we haven’t heard back from him.  I have a feeling this process is not going to get resolved very easily.  We stress every time it rains.

First day of school

This summer was a busy one.  The boys have 10 lawn mowing jobs but they can't drive yet so I get to take them around every week.  Most of the time I end up helping with about half the lawns each week due to some kind of conflict or problem with a boy.
I also had both boys take two on line classes this summer for high school credit.  They both completed Financial Literacy and Fit for Life.
So what all this means is I did a lot of home work with them and mowed a lot of lawns.

Today is Avrams first day of High School 10th grade!  It is amazing to see how much he has progressed the past few years.  Going from an Autistic school two years ago, to a regular charter school last year, to a regular high school this year is amazing!
I did have to go in 3 days before school started and throw a little momma fit demanding to talk with the director of special ed and counselor.  They didn't have Avram in his correct classes and I haven't been able to get anyone to reply to my many messages sent.
They ended up make the accommodations I asked for and set Avram up with a great schedule.  Avram is really excited for High School and feels like he knows a lot of people because of making friends on the football team.


Ila and Briggs started School last week.  Ila is now in 4th grade!  It is her last year at the south campus for Legacy.  (5-9 grades go to north campus). She is the king of the school and she has Pearl and Amy at her school also.  Ila is a social butterfly, I can tell she is super excited to be back in school and with her friends.



Briggs is the king of north campus as a 9th grader.  He is already in Advance musical Theater and he is a team leader this year.  He is also on the ballroom team again.  His teachers ended up making some concessions this year and so it looks like Briggs is going to get to play on the basketball team this year also.  He is so excited.

I don't think I have mention that he grew over 4 inches last year.  He has finally gotten taller than mom.
