Waiting for School to start...
Lincoln has been enjoying soccer practices, and has his first game next weekend.
He will also be in the Little Crowns choir at our church. Between two days of preschool, soccer, and choir... I think he will have a well balanced schedule this year.
Kitchen's Coming Along
But things are coming along!D!!D The granite is in and looks amazing. Wow, what a difference from the u.g.l.y. white counter top things we had.... We also had a matching back splash put in. Love it... Our kitchen looks so much "warmer" and brings our whole home more together. We have changed out our stove top to a black/stainless FLAT top... And a stainless Fridge (still need to change out oven and dw to stainless, next).... We put in a new DEEP under mount sink 60/40, along with some new fancy faucets. Ron put in a new garbage disposal with more horsepower... and tonight he replaced all our copper knobs with stainless steel. When it all comes together over the next couple of days, I post some pictures...
My sister Susan and niece Lauren (LaLa) are coming in for Labor Day weekend. Yay!!

Lawson Swims
Lawson, our little 2 year old athlete decided to start swimming on his own this week. In this video, he is swimming in the shallow end.... but he can also go into chin high deep and swim across the pool. Pretty amazing, he just pretty much taught himself.... He hasn't had any lessons or anything. If he keeps swimming through the fall/winter, he will be a pro by next summer.
Lincoln Phelps
We have been trying to squeeze in every last bit of swimming that we can this summer. We have been going up every afternoon, and the boys have come a long long long way since the beginning of the summer. My GOAL is to keep them swimming year round... at the indoor Flower Mound pool. That way they don't lose everything they learned.
Today I asked Lincoln if he wanted to jump off the indoor diving board... He said sure and just went off and jumped. Then he proceeded and did it again at least 25 more times!! He did great, and had no fear. I remember being a lot older than that and being scared. to. death. to jump off!! So, watch the video and see how well he is swimming in this 11 foot water!!

The Fridge
A Weekend to Forget
The goods news is I came out of this weekend with not just a new Fridge, but brand new washer and dryer too. And I got that kind I always wanted where you can see through the doors..... And this is our week for our Granite kitchen countertops, and with that we will be replacing our stove top with the flattop kind.... Love those.... And a new very deep sink.... So, we are kind of getting a mini kitchen makeover.

Go Mustangs
We signed Lincoln up for Soccer this year instead of Tball. That way he can try it out and see what he likes better. He starts his soccer practices this Wednesday, and his team name is The Mustangs... Of course, I'll be posting plenty of soccer pictures this year... I used to play soccer and loved it... I'll find out on Saturday if he likes it... he sure is excited about it.
