First Day of School!

Wow, the first day of school already! Were oh were did the summer go?

Well my little Lexie got on the great big yellow school bus this morning to go to Kindergarten. I can't believe she is old enough to go already! She was so excited though! Back to School night was last night and she was so hyper. She wouldn't sit still for anything, she kissed me probably 10 times while the principal was talking, and she kept sucking her thumb. How do you stop at 5 year old from sucking her thumb?!? So I'm very curious to see how she does today!

Miss Madisyn is starting 2nd grade. She was a little nervous this morning, but I know she'll be fine once she gets there. She was excited that she has Mrs. Hostetler as her teacher this year.

Pictures!

Just some random pictures! This is Riley at Katie's making a complete mess of her cone.

I love this picture! Honestly he wanted me to put the barrette in his hair! Poor thing... he comes to this house and he's bombarded with girly stuff! He loves us anyway though.

This is so like Alexa. I think anytime we try to take a picture of the three of them she has to be making a face or doing something silly. She is so Dan's child!

I'll end with this one. I really need a new camera. Mine is a pain in the butt! So hopefully I'll get an early Christmas from mom and dad in the next couple of weeks!!

Lots of Green Beans!

Timing is everything! It is amazing how things worked out yesterday for me. First of all my plan was to get up this morning, go to Kenny and Evie's and pick the rest of their green beans and freeze them. Well Kenny called me last night around 6:30pm and said that he got home from work early yesterday and picked all of the green beans for me. I got there and he had what he thinks is 3 bushel of green beans, he had two heaping boxes full of them. I was thinking well this is great, the beans are picked I can snap them and freeze them Friday (today).
Then I got smart...the youth group was already planning on coming over to work on Sunday's service on San Jose...soooo I put them to work!!! There were 9 of us snapping these green beans and it got done really fast! Then Amanda stayed until 11pm helping me blanch them and seal them in bags to freeze. So I am done!! Just in time too, because I woke up with a head cold this morning. I don't even want to think about how long it would have taken me to do all those green beans by myself!

So thanks to our wonderful youth group!!!

A whole lot of nothin!

Well, there has not been much going on in the Coburn household. Last Tues. we picked Maddie up from Mini camp. She really had a lot of fun and I am so proud of her going somewhere where she knows nobody. I never would have!

I got to see my friend Sheri Weaver and her kids. They were visiting from Kansas! I felt so bad for little Cameron, him and Lexie were such good friends when they left and she ran away from him any time he came near her. He looked so sad and said "why won't Lexie play with me?" Poor thing. She told me later that he looked different and that's why she ran away from him. Sheri and I had a good visit though. They got safely back to Kansas Sunday night.

The weekend was nothing much. I worked Saturday. Dan preached Sunday and that's about it.

This week...youth group was Monday night as always. We had a bible study, but ended up discussing the future of the church and what they would like to see different. After that we just hung out. Watched a new show called the Singing Bee. It's really corny, but I like it! They when there was only Danielle, Nicole, and Amanda they decided they wanted to watch our wedding video. It was really fun to watch again! That was a really great day! So much fun.

The girls have been going to bible school at Cherry Glade all week. Dan's had meetings both Wed and Thurs nights. It was fun last night I left Riley with Dad's, took the girls to Bible school, picked up Viola and we went to Perkins for supper. It was really good too, but it was fun to be with Viola again!

That's it for now...
