Summer fun Pictures!!

The newest little Burns.....Zachary...... He is soo sweet, very good baby.

Sydney's many summer adventures!

Allyson and all her creativity through the summer!

Austin the busy body.... there were too many pictures to choose from because he does the funniest things!

HUGE slacker!!!!

ok i know i havent blogged forever!! Life adjusting to a new baby is crazy! Ive tried to keep the other kids entertained by taking them to the park and the library and to the school lunches. By the time i get home from all that, all that there is time for is cleaning and feeding the baby.... literally, thats my days. All i can say is im ready for my girls to start school!!! they are getting so bored that they make these huge messes i swear its a competition to see who can make mom yell the loudest. Let me try to update u a bit on our summer.

Sydney played soccer, she loved it. Her skills have improved so much, i hate to see her stop playing for the winter. They play co-ed here and she loved that.
Zachary was blessed this last week, boy was he hard to find an outfit to fit him. All the 0 - 3 was too big but all the premies were too small.... so we settled for the too big. Ill post some pics as soon as bill puts them on the comp for me.
Sydney and allyson started dance this summer. A gal that lives here has offered her teaching skills at her home for half the price that you pay in a studio. The girls have loved that!! she is doing a great job teaching them. Sydney and ally have also passed there swimming levels. Sydney passed the level 2, which means she is one level away from being able to go off the diving boards and slides (you have to swim all the way across the pool to pass level 3). Ally passed level 1 and i have a feeling she will pass level 2 pretty quick... shes our water baby!
Poor austin hasnt done a heck of alot but come along for the ride... next year he'll be able to do more, hopefully. Alot of things u have to be at least 4, so we'll see.
We just got new windows in our house!!! We are so excited, it looks very nice. The most important thing though is that they're energy efficient and will save us alot of money in the winters. and judging by last years winter, we need all the help we can get. The down fall, it shows how incredibley bad our house needs a fresh coat of paint..... i hate it when u fix one thing just to realize something else needs to be done. Ohh well, paint is cheap, luckily.
New update on our hunk of junk van...... its on its last string..... Bill would like to fix what is broken, but i refuse.... we have put more money into that van in the last year than we could get out of it if we sold it. So.... we are van shopping .... hopefully we can find a good deal and not have too much of a payment.
We have come to realize that 4 children suck a budget DRY! or maybe its just the economy... i guess there is no way to know for sure. But i have decided to take some classes this fall so that i can be a sub at the elementaries here in town. If i do the class online i would be done on the 31st of Oct. And if all works out well that would give us the money we so desperately need for just our month to month living and help us out for christmas. im excited.... ive always had a desire to be a teacher, although this is far from an actual teacher, its a good start. Especially since my little boys are still home with me. I will work very hard to try and keep them out of daycare, that is something i dont want to do. With bills changing schedule i should be able to pull that off pretty well.
Bill is going to school again at the end of this month. To get his certification to be on the road. They have already given him his patrol vehicle, and plan for him to start patroling part time as soon as he gets back from school. The plan is for him to be a floating officer, if they need him in the jail that day, he works in the jail. If they need him on the road, he works on the road. Until they can fill his position in the jail.
Ok i think thats our life in a nut shell this summer. I know i have left some fun things we have done out, but my brain is fried.... sorry. I will post pics soon.
