Update for August

Hello! I am being terrible about posting but I've been so crazy busy that I haven't had time to blog! Zach has started football practice, well, sort of... it started last week and he went on Monday and then we went on "vacation" for a few days, so he missed Tuesday ... then there is no practice on Wednesday .... Thursday, we returned from our trip and Zach and Ashleigh were complaining of ear aches.... So he missed practice that night, Friday morning, I took him and Ashleigh to the doc and found out that both of them had ear infections... her's was an "inner" and Zach's was an "outer". They both were pretty miserable. They have been on antibiotics since... The med that Zach is on must have a unlisted ingredient of gold, because it was $100! For ear drops! WOW! I must say that the pharmasist doesn't have a very good sense of humor because I looked at the ingredient list and asked him "which one of those words meant "gold"? Ash's was just the pink stuff, so her's was cheap. They are both almost finished with the antibiotics.... Zach's torture ends tomorrow morning and Ashleigh's ends Saturday. Practice on Monday (yesterday) was cancelled because of the heat (104 degrees) .... practice tonight starts later than usual. Zach is really looking forward to getting back to practice. Ashleigh has been cheering this summer... cheer camp was 2 weeks ago and practice is 2 days a week for and hour and 1/2. She is 100 percent cheerleader and really gets into it. Allie just signed up for soccer for the fall... no word on practices yet. Saturdays are going to be a little hectic around here.... Ashleigh cheers for football in the AM and Allie's games are usually in the AM too.... thankfully, Ash's squad only cheers for home games, so no traveling there! Allie plays at the local sports plex with local teams. Zach on the other hand may be doing a lot of traveling this year cause the division his team is in has 3 teams that are and hour 1/2 away. Hopefully they won't be all away games :) Here are some pictures that we took recently....
