I know its been a while since I wrote and yes there has been alot going on around here, I have started 3 jobs. I now work at the Veterans home in Lafayette, I work at Whispering Pines in Monticello and Pulaski Memorial Hospital in Winamac. All of them I am doing Prn so I am still able to continue to homeschool the kids. But it is a bit hectic trying to keep all the schedules right.  At first I really didnt like the Veterans home, it kinda seemed more like an assembly line than a patient care facility, but I have found my groove and I am getting to know the residents and not to mention they pay pretty well lol. I started the kids back to school on Monday we are using Abeka this year, it takes alot longer than the program we used last year, Hunters especially, she is working on her studies around 8 hours a day, doesnt seem quite right, hopefully once we get more into it, it will get better. McKenzie went back to school on the 10th, she was sooo ready. We are going to have Kenzie's senior pics done in Oct. cant wait to see what they come up with.  Dalton is having a blast with his Motocross this year, not to mention he likes to go hang out with his girlfriend LOL.  We really need to get on them both to start training harder, they are both doing well racing, but really need to be running and working out during the week. We have had lots of inquires on our horse Cody but no buyers ugg!! we really need to get him sold, hay is going to be hard to find this winter.  He is a beautiful horse, someone will get a nice horse. Dalton is still taking drivers training, he is such a good driver, I cant wait till he gets his own lisence so he can run himself around LOL. The girls have been riding the horses everyday, so hopefully they will be ready for the September show. Aiden has been showing interest in the horses lately, he is soo cute trying to ride my horse, he kicks and kicks and Cowboy just stands there, so he usually switches to Sassy and she listens perfectly the only problem with that is Avery is soo attached to sassy she doesnt like to share her pony, if we could sell a couple horses we could get Aiden a pony of his own, but none of us can agree on what horses to sell other than Cody. And Avery thinks even when she outgrows her pony she is keeping her OMG these kids are hard to please. I know a kids first pony is very special to them, but geez you gotta give us parents a break. So the pics above are Aiden and Sassy, Avery and my horse Cowboy and Hunter on Brody
