It has been busy the last 2 weeks and summer is almost over. Kevin went to Kerrville for 4 days recently for an FCA Coaches camp. Poor thing got to hang out with Grant Teaff and his wife, and Randy and Carolyn Allen! He had a blast just sitting and visiting with them all. And they had great attendance.
He left yesterday for San Antonio coaching school. So once again me and the kids are on our own. But that will be the case for the next few months, as football season has practically begun once coaching school comes around.
Ashtyn will leave Wednesday night to go stay with her NayNay and Coach. She is all excited. But I'm sure I'll pay for it after she returns...she doesn't transition well when she is used to getting the undivided attention all day long! Oh yeah, and she got her ears pierced almost 2 weeks ago. She looks so big and grown up now.
Austin has another football camp all this week. I will be running ragged as I leave work at 4:30, drive 12 minutes across town to pick up Ashytn, and then pick him up and take him to camp by 5:00. All with the assumption that is he dressed and ready to go when I get there! Good thing Ashtyn isn't involved in anything right now, but I'm sure she will be soon.
Our summer hours end at work this Friday, and that extra 30 minutes makes a difference. It's been nice to beat the 5 o'clock traffic all summer. Ashtyn is ready for school...not sure if I am. Kevin will probably have to leave the house at 6:00 am for athletics, so I will probably have the task of dropping both kids off in the mornings. Someone please tell me why I was not blessed with "morning people " in my family!! It will be a test of patience for me and a test of determination for the kids. All you prayer warriors keep all of us in your prayers...we'll need it!
We had football program pictures taken the other day. Hopefully I'll get it posted when we get them back. We haven't had a family picture taken since Ashtyn was about 2 1/2 years old. I am excited about football season this year, and sad too. It makes me think of all the friends I've left behind at the other schools we've been at before. But you all know I miss ya'll lots, and I am so glad we have email and cell phones, and digital cameras. Take care and I think of ya'll often!

What a year it has been in San Angelo, but we have enjoyed moving back home. Kevin will begin teaching and coaching at Central High School (5A) this fall. Hopefully I can meet some of the wives and make some new friends. I've missed that this past year!! I have plenty of "friends" at work, but that's about it. FCA was great but the financial aspect was a little tough. I'm sure he would love to stay with it, but it is not financially feasible at this time for us. He has met so many people through FCA! It's been a great experience, and I'm sure God had some awesome reason for us to be involved for only a year!
I am working at the Education Service Center Region XV. It is a neat job, and I stay busy. And the people I work with are wonderful. The kids are doing great. Austin will start Middle School (6th grade) and Ashtyn will start Kindergarten. Look out world...hear she comes!
Austin has done GREAT this year...straight A's all year, highest average in his class in all but one subject, received the Presidential Award for Academics, was commended on all TAKS tests this year again, competed in the city wide Little Olympics and got 4th place in the long jump, won 3rd place in an art contest that all 5th grades in the city participated in, was voted one of the top 3 leaders of all of 5th grade at his school and got to participate in a Leadership Conference, and attended ASU's basketball camp and received an award again this year for Best Attitude/Most Coachable player. We have been extremely proud of him...especially since he was new to town! Ashtyn is growing like a weed...so is the attitude and mannerisms! Pray for us as we experience new challenges everyday with her. She is an awesome artist and smart too. All girl at times, but tomboy also. I guess you could say she is well rounded..and she won't let anyone push her around! That about sums up our busy year. I miss everyone and hope all is well!

Hello from the Reeds
If you haven't already figured it out...I have NO idea what the heck I'm doing! Guess I'll learn with time.
