I Lost Another One

I lost Brooke to hunting this year already. She helped Corey with the food plot and building the shooting blind or "treehouse" as they call it. She was so excited to go hunting this year with Corey. They went out on Thursday for the early doe season. Corey asked her if she wanted to go with him and her response was "can we bring the laptop and play games" a girl after my own heart. No computer, but some coloring books went instead. She did fall asleep in the blind, but she did see a four point. She had a great time and I think Corey did too.

I'm a Soccer Mom

That's right I'm a Soccer Mom, I would have never thought that. Brooke started soccer last week with a practice and a game on Saturday. She did really well considering she has never played before. It was fun watching her practice she could not stand still she was always moving and jumping around. She would laugh out loud when her couch would say something funny. Corey and I looked at each other and said "This is not our shy little girl anymore". She played her first game on Saturday and they won 4-2.

Goodbye Summer - Hello 1st Grade

We said goodbye to summer this week. Brooke started 1st grade on Tuesday. She was excited to get back to school to see her friends. We went on Monday to meet her teacher and drop off school supplies. She was a little shy while we were there, but there were no kids that she knew while we where there. I get the privilege of dropping her off to school everyday since we are now out of Zeeland school district. I walked her to her classroom on Tuesday morning and she did great - she went right to her teacher to give her some papers. I didn't expect to get a little teary eye leaving her. It seems that 1st grade a is big step with going every day all day, she's such a big help at home with Ashley so I miss that. Kenzie LOVES that Brooke is gone. I asked Kenzie if she missed Brooke and her answer was NO!!
