We started off August by going to national night out. That’s where the police and fire departments get together and show all the different services they provide to the community. They have a BBQ and different booths you can visit. We got to see the drug dog bite someone, have the boy’s fingerprints done and sit on a helicopter. Of course the helicopter was the highlight of the evening.
On the 16 the boys headed to school for the New Year. Coy is in 1st grade, Austin in kindergarten. They were both so excited to go to school. Austin was worried about being the new kid but we just reassured him that everyone was the new kid. Coy was excited to see his old friends and make some new ones too.
The boys were on a bowling league for the summer and their team won 1st place. They both learned a lot and had a good time. Coy’s highest score was 93 and Austin was 71. They didn’t get to use bumpers and Coy was bowling with one hand by the end of the season. We went ahead and signed them up for the winter league.
We are fostering another puppy. This one is a Jack Russell Terrier named Lulu. She was 6 weeks old when I brought her home and will be with us for a few months. She is very smart and active. She will be a hard one to let go of since we are all falling in love with her.
We ended the month by celebrating my birthday on the 31. Jon and the boys made my day very special by cleaning the house and making dinner. Jon gave me a few small things because my big present isn’t in yet. Not sure what it’s going to be. Jon is being very hush hush about it. I’ll let you know what it is when I get it.
