Camping, back to school and a new baby

This week we have started into all the after school activities so I have been slow on getting this up. Cody is doing speech after school with a private teacher now, he also started into karate twice a week. Emily is doing dance, girl scouts and just started cheerleading. I will get pictures of all of those once they get more into them. They enjoy doing these different things however with homework and odd things it makes our weeks very busy. Cody got glasses this week for reading and he is in love with them. He wont do any homework or go anywhere unless he bring them with him and they make him look so grown up I think. I think karate will be very good for Cody, they are very good about making the boys behave, look and listen. Last night one of the boys (there is only three and they are all seven or eight) was wiggling around and the couch made the little boy do ten push ups. Its very cute to watch him try to figure out the hand movements, he is really enjoying that. Emily is in love with cheerleading, she has been cheering "Let's get fired up, we are fired up" sense we got home. It will be cute to watch her at the football games. She is also doing hip-hop dance this year instead of tap and ballet. She is very excited over this, after all its way cooler and you move alot more (her words not mine). This weekend we went camping again for the last time. It was alot of fun, a bunch of my family went up with us and we all hung out on the lake and just chilled. My uncles and my step dad had boats up so we just went boat hopping. One of my uncles has a speed boat and the first time we went to get on Cody walks up with a fishing pole and was shocked when he was told there is no fishing on this boat. However Emily thought it was the best boat, after all it didn't stop to fish it just went fast. She asked my uncle "is this a party boat" when she was told yes she thought that was really cool. She did do a little fishing when Tom showed her how to make the worm dance with Grandmas pink fishing pole. I think the only time the fishing pole wasn't in Cody's hands was when we were toasting marshmallows or on the party boat. Here is just a collection of the different photos I took. It was such a fun weekend it was sad to come home. However my new little niece was a plus to coming home. On the way up to the lake my sister had her baby. A little girl who was 7 pounds 5 ounces and 19 inches long named Alexandria Sierra, also going by the name Lexi for those of us that cant spell the super long names she names her kids. She is such a cute little baby.

Now the weekend just needs to get here so we can just chill out and be a bum for one weekend.
