Well,the kids are on track break right now and we got off to a rough start. Sam and Cheyenne got pretty sick. Cheyenne ended up getting two shots in her bumm. She was not happy about it. Sam had a horrible cough so we didn't do any of the activities that where planned for the week. We did however squeeze in some school work and Abby learned to read 2 books. Joe came home and suggested I start homeschooling and I just looked at him like he was crazy. Maybe if we had a bigger home where I could designate an area, but we don't and I have zero patience so it's a big fat NO! I had a crippling migraine Sat which put a damper in our date night so that was a bummer. Other than that track break has been okay. The kids are all looking forward to the last week when their Gramps and Grandma Hall come to visit. Kenny has a count down paper he made. I hope all the other track breakers are doing well!

Miss Cheyenne
Cheyenne is getting so big and with that comes the drama of being a girl. We have been dealing with mood swings and let me tell you that is flippin hard! Now it's not all bad she sees all the work I do and will help when not asked and I can't tell how wonderful that is. I was so tired one day and after dinner I had to run a quick errand, I came home to the entire kitchen clean. I just started crying and told her how grateful I was for her. She is so great with Sam and loves to give him a bath and get him dressed. She loves fixing her hair and looks so beautiful when she's done. She is great with other children in the neighborhood and is always willing to help out the moms if they need it. I love my baby girl so much!
Doug's 3rd grade city
Dougie Bug had his big project and of course we waited until the very last minute. This time wasn't as dramatic. We had a fun evening of building his project and this time there was no crying involved. The next day we all went to the school to see their creation. It is so impressive seeing all of the buildings kids(parents) have made. I'm so proud of Doug and all of the hard work he is putting into the 3rd grade!
Trip to Utah and Michigan
So I've been way busy with ACN, I took a trip to Utah and Michigan in Sept. In Utah I went to help open up a business and after, we went to Cabella's to have some Ostrich Sandwiches. I went with Nate and Liz and we sat there in Cabella's talking about our goals and Liz and I decided we would love to give our husband's a huge gift card and tell to have fun at the store. Two weeks later we all went to Detroit and had a weekend of personal growth. I had a blast meeting the co-founders and some of the RVP and SVP's (Regional and Senior Vice Presidents). We even got a chance to cross the border to Canada! I had lunch there with my team. I was so blessed to have my whole team with me in Detroit, it was great to get to know them better and listen to all of their dreams.
I love my Dude!
Sam is so much fun! He is now everywhere and into everything!! He can say thankyou, dada, more, and what sounds like Doug or dog. He loves to wrestle with his brothers and daddy. He is a great hugger and gives the best little kisses. Whenever we put music on he starts to do this really cute dance and puts a smile on all of our faces! I tease Joe about having another baby because Sam is darn cute, that usually keeps him off of me for about a week! ;)

first day of school
School started the day after we got home from TX and I couldn't have been more ready for it! We did all of our school shopping a few hours after we landed and I thought Joe was going to have an anxiety attack from doing so. We finished all the shopping and got home to Joe having fajitas ready to cook for us. It was a great evening.
Wed. the kids were tired but ready to see their friends at school. Abby has half day K, so she was dying because she had to wait forever! Sam and I are enjoying our 3 hours of peace!!
A month in Texas
WOW! So we spent our summer in Texas and had a lot of fun visiting everyone! I would of loved to do some more site seeing with the kids but we'll have to save it for our future trips. Our trip began with my little sisters wedding and it was absolutely beautiful. Cheyenne and Abby had so much fun being in their aunts wedding! Joe was able to spend sometime with his family and he definitely needed that! After we dropped Joe off at the airport we drove up to McKinney, north of Dallas, to visit all of our family there. On our way back from Dallas to Houston we stopped at the Sam Houston Monument and for the first time in my life I got to see the statue up close. It was very neat and the kids thought it was pretty cool. So really we visited family and friends and had a good time doing it.
I missed Joe very much so I'm not sure that I will ever take another trip that long without him! I was an emotional basket case which doesn't work well with me so I'm glad that torture is over!! Thanks to everyone who let us sleep at their homes and for all the sleepovers with the kids. We love and hope to see all of you soon on your new video phones that you are going to get! :) http://christyhall.acnrep.com
