Relaxing Summer! What's that again?

Really as a stay at home parent you would assume that yes, kids are out of school no more waking up early for a few months, all day play by the pool, and play dates. Great right? Right the sleeping in part is wonderful. Pool days here are about everyday when we have a pool up. And we enjoy play dates but relaxing to us could be completely different than your relaxing. During the summer especially this summer the end of May to middle of June we are swamped with dance recital prep, dance recital, softball games and practices if they can fit them in. A just got a call today that Braydens tball starts practices Tuesday and Thursday's from 5:30-7. Then when his games starts they are Monday's and Wednesdays. Which most of Ryleigh's games well a variety of them are on Wednesdays and Thursday's. Then preparing for the first few weeks of June Ryleigh will be undergoing a tonsillectomy. June 10the she gets those bad boys out and for a few weeks following we will live a boring life.  The day before and day of surgery we planned on staying with my parents because they are the closest to the hospital just to insurance a fast outlet in case we have to go back to the ER. Lord willing things will go great and by the fourth day she will be some what able to move. 😬 Also I haven't necessarily touched a lot on it but we are waiting for Brayden to be seen by an Autistic specialist to confirm the pediatricians diagnosis.  However the therapist he sees during the school year also offers services at her house during the summer to children for speech and language. He also in a way to describe it to make more of an understood statement. He's considered "socially awkward", nothing is bad about this but his therapist will be working to ensure he learns the social cues he needs to, to be able to lead a life of normalcy. However what is normal actually. He may not be normal to some but to me he Brayden he is normal. He is fine. I have dealt with this hard. I will touch more on base with my next post because this one is about our somewhat not relaxing summer. But besides the tonsillectomy and therapist appointments  softball and tball is our relaxation. We enjoy watching our children excell in sports and enjoy. With that being said, our kids do enjoy this. If they didn't want to play baseball or softball we won't force it. We, Ken and I, will allow our children to chose in life what they want to do. Meaning if they chose and they enjoy as well as being happy in what they have chosen. We feel as they will succeed and excell. We also feel no matter what they do in life (minus becoming a drug addict, violent person, violator, you get my drift) they will succeed. Also once softball and tball are over, comes July 4th. After that for a few weeks are relaxation at home. We don't really go anywhere or do much but house stuff playing around the house occasionally movies or going to the park. Then we start preparing for school again. Shopping for things such as new clothes and school supplies as well as general appointments eye doctors if they are due, we definitely get dentist appointments (which Rys will soon be ortho), and then just making sure everything is up to date ready for the new school year. In which the next few post coming will touch on Braydens diagnosis as well as school. What are we looking fowArd to this summer and new school year? Can anyone guess what the kids are looking fowArd to in August when school starts back? Leave a comment below and I will get back to you.

Thank you for spending the time to read our blog of occasionally chaoticness that

OH Where Oh Where Have I Been?

On August 19th was the last time that I posted a blog entry. OH MY, where have I been.  I know in that I would say come back tomorrow to find out why we are so busy.

Needless to say I never came back until now. I am going to fill you in why not only starting in September but actually as soon as school starts why we are so busy.

August is the month that my friend and I go to Rodeo. Not only do we go to Rodeo but that's when school starts back.  You would think that during the summer we would be busy and at times we are. However, the school year especially fall is when we are the busiest.  Especially starting September.  September 8th actually this year is when Ry's dance year started. (6th year baby!!!!) Not only that but she is at that point in her life in school where she can start playing little league volleyball, cheer leading, and etc. This year she chose volleyball. I mean you can't necessarily beat $20 dollars to play for a few months. Their games didn't actually start until September 19th and they began practices the last week or so of August. So on top of Dance on Mondays for almost 2 hours. She has Volleyball on Tuesday (practices) and Games on Saturday morning. (yes you read that right, on Saturday Mornings.) We also for both kids have had parent teachers conferences already. However, now we have hit the month of October. Tomorrow is October 1st and for us this is when the end of the year becomes one hell of a time.  October especially, are you ready for this??? October 10th, Ryleigh Birthday, October 20th, My dad's birthday, October 24 is a good friends birthday, October 25 is Ken's birthday, and October 26th is my sisters birthday. OY what was I thinking being friends with people in October. HEHE love them anyways.  So from the month of October until December we are short on money always. Between birthdays, trying to save for black friday, as well as buying Christmas in between on top of regular bills. (Speaking of which Ken gets paid tonight and need to budget out bills this week.)  Needless to say that since my daughter is turning 10 and will be in double digits {LORD HELP ME} we decided to throw her a party. She chose the place and mommy and daddy have paid.

Now on to some exciting news. I am going to start VLOGing I feel this is a way for me to blog and be able to capture everything in my children's lives. As well as talking about random things such as you know LIFE!

I only have one VLOG up as of now. I mean I just started.

head on over to https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkRA5YAUprZgPX-NNX_DqWw and view my latest blog!

Day In The Life Blog???

I love watching VLOGS of day in the life's and just in general of younger moms. Most in which are younger 20s to even teens. I have even questioned even starting my own YouTube channel. (Come back to find out later if I decided to!) however I thought about BLOGGLING a day in the life with pictures tomorrow. Basically a day in the life of a mother close to 30 shown through pictures. Will be neat. Please come back tomorrow or Thursday to see the finally product. Considering tomorrow the first time since school let out I have to get up at 6 am to get kids ready brayden has to be at the dentist at 8:15.!

Again, I am so sorry haven't blogged much. The summer time this year just has been a crazy busy/almost not busy enough boring summer. Make sense? I didn't think so. Not only will I do the |DITL| Blog but I will try and make a separate post on what has really been going on this summer. 

Please take the time to like the blog and share my chaotically crazy life. Please comment your crazy chaotic life as well. Love ready blogs about people's life as well as watching VLOGS. 

Thank you for reading. Love you all.
