Moving UP

Jhett is becoming a little man these days, he is cleaning the bathrooms,(well if you count spraying the mirrors with a squirt bottle and using a make-up brush to smear it all over, or dumping all the liquid soap on the counter playing in it.)carrying a phone on his hip and talking to everyone, and sleeping in a big boy bed. Yes Jhett is out of his crib and sleeping in a bed. Kevin and I went out and made the exciting purchase of a new twin size bed. Shelby was really happy because we gave her the new bed and Jhett got her old one. He doesn't go to sleep any better then he did last week but he still goes to sleep before midnight and he still takes a nap which I am really grateful for.

School starts continued

I didn't have enough room to add all the picture to the last post. Thought you would enjoy a few more.

Walking up to the school

Jhett is always ready to take a picture.

Aubri was already at school but here is the rest of the troop before the day begun.

School Starts

On August 12, 2009 school started. Everyone was excited to go to school. Jhett was excited too until we dropped everyone off. Lucky for him he got to spend the first few days at the school as well since I am the PTO President at the elementary school. The last 2 days we have only had to go for a little while each day so now he wants me to play with him all the time. 

Jaxon is in 1st grade

Konner is in 2nd grade

Kielee is in 5th grade

Shelby is in 6th grade

Aubri is in 9th grade at the high school

Catching UP

Thought I should catch you up on the happenings at the NM Kinghorn home. We finished AllStars on July 27th. Kielee's team did great. They didn't win state but that was ok with us.  She had a fun summer playing softball 6 days a week and was sad to stop. She is now looking forward to basketball.

Check out Kielee's hair, it is full of dirt from her catchers helmet.

The girls had friends over a couple of days before school started for a sleepover. They made pizzas, talked and talked, watched movies and made dessert for us. I took them to walmart and gave them $5.00 a pair to make a dessert with. They had to get ALL the ingredients with their $5.00.  They did really good. We had Strawberry shortcake that Kielee and her friend made, chocolate covered strawberries that Shelby and her friend made and mud pie that Aubri and her friend made. They were all really good and I think they had a fun time.

We had rain on and off this summer which was a nice change. It hardly ever rains here. The kids had fun playing out in it a few days before school started.

Still Busy

One day my post isn't going to start with us being busy.... most likely that will be 30 years from now. In the last few weeks we have gone to softball almost everyday, had Grandma and Grandpa Hjorten come for a quick visit, sent Aubri off to Utah to visit with family and help my sister Kristin, swam almost everyday, had Erik and Tracy and their families come and visit and roasted in the 100+ degree weather, just to name a few things.

Today we are off to the state championship for Kielee's softball team.  They won yesterday and she is excited to play today. Luck for us it is in Albuquerque and not in another part of the state. We only have to drive 45 mins. to get to the ball park. Some of the teams who are playing have to drive more then 4 hours.   

I am posting a few pictures of our summer adventures and the people who have come to see us. Enjoy!!
