We have had an extremely busy year with lots of visits to the hospital starting with adam in december getting a cyst removed from his tailbone. June turned 10 in February. We went to new mexico in march to see my aunt get married and had some fun catching up with my uncle richard. on the way home i got the joy of stopping in the er for severe pain and within the month had to have my gall bladder out. i have still been having stomach issues and many visits later we have narrowed it down to IBS. the only thing to do with that is some over the counter meds and watch what i eat. in june i turned the big 3-0 and treated myself to a wonderful day only to have june break her arm a week later. her hand slipped off a door handle and she landed wrong and broke both bones in her arm. 12 weeks later she was finally cleared and healed. austin has been our healthy one this year (knock on wood). june started 5th grade this year and is doing good. she is in band which makes me a happy mom. she finally decided on the clarinet and lucky for us i still had mine and was in great condition. Austin turned 7 in august and started the 2nd grade and for the most part is enjoying it. the only thing i get out of his teacher is he talks too much (which we already knew). labor day weekend we headed to denver and had a blast! went shopping, to boondocks, water world and a rockies game. we also got to hike a little too and i can say this was one of our best vacations. we are up to now and there isn't a whole lot to report, we are trying to finish up some unfinished projects around the house, neither kid is in sports this fall so the only thing we have going is june is still in girl scouts. we did lose a member from our house recently, our cat raider disappeared. after waiting a month we (I) decided to replace him so now we have oliver the kitten. i didn't upload a lot of pics but here are a few of my favorites over the last 7 months
