Kory turns 11

Happy 11th Birthday Kory!!

So, we have another pre-teen I suppose.  I can say that because the kid NEEDS deodorant!  He may look sweet, but after he has been playing football outside he stinks!  I can't believe he is 11.  To think that in one year he could be taller than me is a pretty crazy thought.  Kory is a good kid.  He has a room to himself and for the most part keeps it pretty clean.  HE has his favorite outfits--his captain america shirt is one of them.  He has pretty long hair for him right now as he is trying to have hair like Mitch Matthews from the BYU football team.  He still loves sour patch kids.  Loves football, and basketball.  He is doing great in school and made the transition to Omaha really well.  He likes to do impressions of Donald Trump, "HUGE".  We have some kids across the street, Alex and Aaron and they like to play outside when the weather is nice. He is still a Bronco fan.  He is in the 5th grade and his teachers name is Mrs. Weaver.  He had a pretty good birthday.  We celebrated right after school with Pizza and Chicken with potato wedges since he still love Potatoes and then he went Camping for the night.  All the boys were able to go with Dad and the other scouts.  It was his first scout campout.     

Apple Orchard

Monty is in school most days, so when he has a day off we like to take advantage of it.  Today we decided to go to the Apple Orchard in Nebraska City.  We have heard that the apple cider donuts were addictive, so we wanted to give them a try.  Plus, the boys have never picked apples off an apple tree so we were up for a NEW experience.  
The donuts were absolutely delicious and so was the chilli relleno salsa we decided to try.  Everyone enjoyed picking apples.  Kyle was in a pretty bad mood when we told him what we were going to do, but then ended up saying he had fun.  I believe his exact words were, "Wow, picking apples was actually a lot more fun than I thought it would be."  These boys are awesome.  We also enjoyed a corn maze.  We got a bag of pink lady apples and they were pretty good too!  A fun afternoon.

New Job

I got a job at the boys school as a Para in the special ed preschool.  We will see how it goes.  The hours are perfect.  I start after I need to get Kyle to school and am home before the younger boys get home.  If they have a snow day I get a snow day.  I feel very blessed to have found a job that is just what I wanted.
