August with the Good's

Well it sounds like Beth had a funner month than we did. I thought I was done with school only to be suprised that while my overall GPA is 3.45, I only have B's in my science classes and took a too advanced humanities/art class and will have to retake one Science and take an basic humanities class like art or music appreciation, world religions or philosophy. Aren't we all glad we are so educated when we get out of school??? Won't you all be glad I took intro to cinema when I am cleaning your teeth? So screwed up. So I lost my free time and am back to school retaking those so pray I can make it through the last half of A&P with an A this time (and that my family survives my neglect). I could care less about my grade in the other one but at least I get to watch some movies with Charlie and call it "homework".

It was fun to have Vici come down though at the beginning of the month and go on one of my favorite hikes up North where it is so much nicer to be outdoors. Another month or so and evening walks will be nice again (hopefully). I can't wait for Miss Beth and Troy's visit, we haven't seen her in FOREVER it seems.

Emily AND Max started school and are loving it. The first day was fun, Max was so timid and shy, but just wanted to wait by his class even though there was 15-20 min. before school started, I was very worried about how it would all turn out. But by the time I picked him up he said, "Mom, school was a lot funner than I thought!". He has finally remembered his new friends names and even decided to go play on the playground instead of just waiting by the door in the morning, too bad it took him 2 weeks to figure out that would be funner for him. Emily is growing up to fast, and turning into a teenager, bad attitude and sleepy girl at times. The other day on the way to school I asked her if she was ready for the day and she said, "I need a 5 Hour Energy, I think." She pays way too much attention to commercials and things on the radio! She keeps me on my toes, she remembers everything that is ever said (except when it is a chore of course). We did start doing achievement days for the girls in our ward at our house and she is loving that. It is sometimes chaos but fun for her and the girls so that makes it worth the late nights planning and getting it all together.

Well that is about it for us, hope you are all doing well too.
