August 28, 2011

As most of you know Keaton recently had a reaction to latex. He was with Heidi and was walking into the school to get Easton. He first started to have a reaction while in the car with Heidi. He started to complain that his lips were going numb then difficulty breathing. An Epi pen was administered and he was taken to the hospital. He was released the next day and seems to be doing well for now. He is being refered to Childrens Mercy hospital in Kansas City for some followup. thank you for keeping him in your throughts and prayers.

School

Well we've made it through our first half week of school. Matraca is taking art, AG, keyboarding, Spanish, choir, English, science, American history and pre-algebra. She started school on Thursday and is already counting down the days till her next break!! I think it's funny how my daughter plans her classes. My daughter has taken a hunter safety course and now agriculture???

The other kiddo's started school Wednesday and have really enjoyed it. Well except for Keaton. Keaton had to start school on Thursday due to chicken pox and a reaction to latex. I'm beginning to see a pattern here. Keaton also missed part of the first day of school last year due to a broken arm..

Softball

Marc's softball season has pretty much come to an end.. He has two tournaments left on September 24th in Branson and another on October 8th in Springfield.  The tournament in Branson I believe is to raise money for Branson public safety.  The tournament in Springfield is to raise money for the family of a Springfield Police Officer who died from Lou Gehrigs disease.

Daycare business

Super proud of Heidi...  She is about to open her new center in Republic.  This was a building that needed a lot of work to get it ready to move into.  We have worked long hours to get it ready and now it's here..  Heidi also has just received word from her social worker that she is bringing her supervisors from Columbia and Jeff City down next week to tour the building as a "Model Center".. We are a little nervous about this but it is an honor that they consider her center for this..

If you are not aware Heidi has gone back to teaching in her preschool.  Heidi is teaching three year olds and will eventually be in her new building when it opens later this month..

Football

Football season is arriving..  Will and Keaton are playing on the same team this year here in Republic.  They are playing their last year of flag football and have started practices on Tuesday nights.  There first game is on September 12 however I do not have a time yet.  They will be playing at the Recreation Center on the baseball fields on Miller road. 

Easton is just getting started with his football season.  He is playing tackle and is attending a football camp here in Republic today from 10 to 12.  All the boys are really getting pumped up about this..

Volleyball





Ok, Its that time again!!! Matraca has already started volleyball practices at 7am every morning before school.  Her first game is on September 12 at approximately 7pm in Ash Grove at the High School.  She's excited about volleyball again this year but this year we really need to beat our hardest rival Fair Grove.  Ash Grove went 1 and 1 against Fair Grove last year during the regular season.  This was the only team we lost against.  We play them twice this year once in Ash Grove on September 22 and again on October 6 in Fair Grove..
