Happy Labor Day!

Labor Day is an American federal holiday observed on the first Monday in September (September 3 in 2012) that celebrates the economic and social contributions of workers. To start off Labor Day,  Braeden woke up at 6 a.m. (so much for sleeping in) with other scouts to put US flags out on yards of people that payed to have them put their flags out for them. The money that they earned all went to their scout camp funding. Tonight for Labor Day we are going out to eat dinner with Kevin's son, Adam, to Memphis Pit Bar-B-Que! Yum! I hope that everyone is having a great Labor Day! 

Back To School!

It's time for the kids to go back to work at school! The kids were excited to see their friends again and get new schedules and teachers. The kids are in 8th grade this year for 2012-13 school year. The kids have one class together and that's a 9th grade class called Algebra I! This year they have to take health and P.E. they take health for the first quarter and P.E. for the rest of the school year. Braeden was nervous that they wouldn't have Jazz Band, a special band that plays before school, but they have Jazz Band this year and he is 1st Trumpet! Ryan is in Advanced Orchestra playing the Viola! We had to get a zone variance for the school because we moved out of the school zone so Kevin and Ryan had to go to the school and get a variance, they let the kids keep going because they already have gone there for 2 years already. They said that they had a great first week of school! As for the blog, I am having Braeden keep up on this blog because I don't know how to do this right, so expect more posts from Braeden about what's going on in our lives.
