I'm about 5 weeks pregnant now, I have my first OB appointment September 11th, I'm excited! Like I said, I'm only 5 weeks but am already showing LOL! I think with #5 my body kind of gave up!
This weather has been so nice, I can hardly believe it's August. It was a high of maybe 74 today. We've been enjoying lots of family time on the weekends. I thank God for all of my boys (Dan included:) I really enjoy being a mommy!
Monday starts week 3 of school for the 2 older boys. I think they're finally in the routine of things. Nicolas brought home his very first A+ this past week! He's never had a letter grade, but now that's he's a first grader he's getting them. He's such an eager learner, I am so excited to see how well he does this year! Elijah's doing pretty good so far too. He has more responsibilities at school now that he's a fourth grader, but I think he's lovin' it lol. Josh starts September 9th, I think he's a little nervous since it's a new school (3 day preschool) but excited at the same time. :)

week 1 down!
Praise God week one is over! Only 8 left! lol Dan is working a lot more now for the next 8 weeks, this was the first week of that. It went well. Can you tell I'm counting it down already? hehe
Next week starts school for the oldest 2. The first day is Wednesday the 19th, it's a half day, then the next day is a half day too. The first FULL day of school is Friday, August 21st. Elijah is in 4th grade this year and Nicolas is in 1st grade. Elijah's excited I think, his school consists of 3 grades; 3rd, 4th, and 5th. This year he's one of the bigger fish, last year he was new to the school so this year he gets to show the 3rd graders how it is lol. Nicolas, I think, is a little nervous. He goes to a new school this year and this is his first year in the district. Last yr for Kindergarten he went to a VERY small private Christian school. This year things will be bigger, he's not sure what to expect. But thankfully we were able to get him and a friend of his in the same class, as requested, he was in Nicolas' class last year. So I think both the boys are a little more at ease about that. I've also heard that Nicolas' teacher is awesome. I'm excited to get back to my normal routine. As much as I love spending time with them during the summer, things are a little crazy during the day lol.
Josh starts preschool at a new school this year as well. This year he goes MWF, he's very excited! He doesn't start until after Labor Day though.

Swimming!!
The boys have been swimming all summer in grandma and grandpa's pool. They LOVE swimming! And, they're all doing really well too. I took a bunch of pics but will only share this, I love it! It cracks me up and melts my heart at the same time. :)
Silly Zacky
Zachary started something new! He gets out of bed and falls asleep somewhere in his room. None of the other boys did this lol. Here's where he fell asleep the other day. I went in to check on him and couldn't find him, I started searching around his room and found him in the corner under his slide....asleep! LOL! Goofy boy!
August 2nd family cookout...
I went up to Joliet the weekend of August 1st and 2nd for a Burgholzer (plus a bunch of other families lol) family cookout. I saw people I haven't seen in like 10 years, it was crazy! It was nice to see so many people that I haven't seen in so long and introduce them to my boys. :) Dan wasn't with us, he was in Maryland. Here's a few group pics...
