Its Starting to feel a little like fall!!

So this morning when I stepped outside to head off to work I felt the tiniest bit of chill in the air!! Starbucks has their fall flavored hot chocolates out!! It is just one of those days that I would so much rather be window shopping at our outdoor mall checking out all the fall decorations!!
The kids are starting to come inside earlier from playing and we spent the weekend canning peaches and apples are next!! I love harvest season!! I love fall!!!

A little Seamans Family info.

So my brother Austen just left on the 27th of August for his mission.The people of Minneapolis are extremely lucky!!! We absolutely adore him. Talk about a crack up!! There is never a dull moment with him around and it is reallly rough not having him around, but he woundn't have it any other way. He is going to be such a wonderful missionary.

Oh the places you'll go!!!!

So this week was one for the record books!! Tyler had late band practice on Tuesday with pick up at 8. Madalyn had late play practice and then got on the wrong activity bus and had to be picked up so she didn't have to walk home in the heat of the day. We had 2( yes count em 2!!) swim meets this week. The football team played across town which means whoever goes out on a traveling trip must be picked by a mom or dad. Luckily it was Kelley's turn to pick up. Connor and Megan just traveled with us in our adventures. They enjoy it but I'm sure they miss the days of vegging on the couch to Hannah Montana. We actually don't know when the last time was that we watched tv. We are thinking it was the Olympics. Maybe things will slow down enough that we can catch London!!!! Such is life and I wouldn't change it for a thing. I just hope my van feels the same....

So my kids.......lets see. How about a readers digest version of where everyone is and what they are up to.

CONNOR---My sweet baby boy is in Kindergarten this year. He is such a great little boy. What a fireball! He loves Speedracer now and is all about the racing and roughness that goes with being a little boy!! He is also a sweetheart but don't let that adorable grin fool you, he could very easily climb out his bedroom and head for a bike race with the neighbor kids at a moments notice!! It is so hard for me to believe that soon he will be too big to hold in my arms!!

TYLER--WOW!! What a great young man. He is 14 years old, a freshman in High School!!(yea, i'm pretty dang old!!) He is in the marching band and plays the trombone. They just preformed at their first football game. HOW COOL!!!He is also on the high school swim team. Add that to early morning and Wednsday night mutual and you have a delicious recipe for a very busy kiddo. He is managing to impress the heck out of his dad and I by keeping his grades up despite the craziness.

MADALYN--Miss Maddi is in the 7th grade at the Middle School here and she is adjusting pretty well. She likes her teachers and she love loves her friends!!! She is all about her little social life. Totally loves sports the athletic side of life. She wants to swim year around so we will see how that goes!! She is in Young Womens and boy do we all love it!!! She just went to girls camp for the first time this summer and had a blast. She is participating in the school rendition of High School Musical( still waiting to see what part she has) which runs till March I believe. She is so much fun and comes up some wild comments!!!

MEGAN--Well Miss Megan is in the 5th grade at the elementary school where I work. What fun!! She is just a little diva!!She is all about the clothes,shoes and the hair. We just embarked on the Orchestra experience with her. Her instrument of choice is the Cello. So far she is practicing really hard!! She is still in the very new stage of playing(kinda wishing that would pass soon) She is having a really good time with life. Right now she is really into baking cookies. They are always so very yummy, but oh the messes she makes!!!
