August

August seemed like a very busy month, we had a lot to do and several big events to go to but that made it all the more fun.  First I took all 3 kids to the practice round of the Bridgestone golf tournament.  I was worried to have all 3 out for a large part of the day but there was a walk to benefit  the oncology department of the hospital and they had invited Adilene to be apart of it.  The kids did great and Adilene walked for most of mile!  I also had plenty of offers to help out which I defiantly needed like the police officer who picked up our tickets so I wouldn't have to walk half a mile with the kids, and sweet lady who pushed the stroller while I helped Adilene during the walk.  I was happy we went out and supported the hospital.

That same weekend Fred and I got tickets to go to the Hall of Fame gold jacket ceremony.  We had a friend come over to watch the kids and got to go see tons of hall of famers, eat a great dinner, and Fred got to see Terrell Davis up close.  It was such a fun night and I am so happy we didn't pass up on the tickets.

The oncology department had it kickoff celebration where they have games in the park and then we all walk out on the field at a baseball game.  I love these events so much, it is such a great way to bring awareness to childhood cancer and raise money all while showing the families going through this love and support.  The kids had a great time, somehow Adilene became best friends with the mascot and they walked hand in hand the entire way.  We used most of our energy up at the park so we only made it 2 innings in the game before the kids wanted to leave but it was a great night. 

Just to squeeze in one more weekend of fun we went to a hamburger festival.  Fred and I enjoyed the food and the kids had little games they could play.  After we were done there we went and played mini golf.  Blaiden has been wanting to do this for a while now and so we finally went.  It was fun but Adilene wasn't interested in playing at all.  She found some water and that is about all she wanted to play in.  Kallie was along for the ride and sat in the stroller or the wrap the whole time.  She is such a good baby she hardly ever fusses. 

Probably the most exciting thing for Blaiden was the solar eclipse that happened.  He loves everything about space and so I was sure to get some glasses before they all sold out.  He watched tons of videos about it and he knows more then I do about space.  He was a little sad we were out of the totality but he enjoyed the experience.

The last big even of the month was that school started!  Blaiden is in Kindergarten this year and I can hardly believe it.  He was so excited and only a little nervous.  He has a few kids from his preschool in his class which has made the transition much easier.  Adilene is in the same preschool class that she was in last year but is now going 5 mornings a week.  She couldn't go back to school when it started because her counts were to low but she is very excited about going back.
