Flying Kites!

 This is right after Walker let go of the string.  Bahaha!  The kite ended up getting stuck in a tree by the golf course, and Tyson chased it down and got it out of the tree. :)

 Our last weekend with Sam. :(

Ugh!  Long time, no blog again!  I have a really excuse, though...I promise!  I have a new hobby that's been keeping me busy lately; I'll tell y'all more about that later.

This past weekend was the first full weekend Tyson had off since July!  He did have to go to the office for a few hours Saturday morning and Sunday night, but I will take what I can get!  We just mainly hung out and enjoyed the beautiful weather together.  My mom was also here, so that was just an added bonus.  It was a great weekend to say the least!

Hmm...what else have we been up to?  Tyson finished up recruiting last week with National Signing Day this past Wednesday.  He did an awesome job and we got a really good class for 2013!

Sam come back home to us at the end of last week after being on a 2.5 week "playdate."  We spent a good part of the weekend trying to find him a home and fast; Walker's allergies flared up as Sam stepped back into our house. :(  I posted something on facebook and had a call within minutes from a family from our church who live in our subdivision and already own a goldendoodle.  They fell in love with Sam immediately and took him home to live with them yesterday.  It was sad saying goodbye, but this family let us know that they are definitely interested in us staying in close contact.  It couldn't have worked out more perfectly even if I could've hand picked these people myself.

Other than that, all is going well. Jake is doing well at his new school and is adjusting well.  He starts t-ball this week and is moving up to "the big boy class" in karate this week as well.  Walker is also starting karate in the next few weeks, and he is sooo excited about it.  Jake's sensai lets Walker do the class now, but now Walker will now have his own karate uniform and white belt. :)  Life is about to get super busy again!  But I'm ready for it!
