Out and About.............................

Today I spent the day with my two teenagers(Zach is technically still a preteen, he is 12 but in 6 months it is official) shopping at the mall! We had a great time looking for new clothes for school. Zach actually got more today then Breanna, which is usually not the case( don't get me wrong she would have bought alot more if I had allowed)! Breanna would have loved to have bought like 4 pair of shoes but I held her to 1 pair of shoes, a jacket, 2 belts and a pair of shorts! Zach bought 2 pair of shorts and 3 shirts, which are really going to be worn immediatly as he is growing like a weed and shorts that we bought 3 months ago are already too small!!!!!!!

As you can see in the picture, Zach is just a tad bit taller than Breanna and he is loving it!!!!! They are only 22 months apart and he has been waiting for the day that he would one day be taller than his older sister and it is finally here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The day that he is taller than me is just around the corner as you can see in the picure below,this will be a sad day for me, just one more obvious fact that he is growing up!!!!

They are always so good to pose for Mom!

I wonder when he will be taller than me?

If you are wondering where Jacob was, the answer is school. He started on Monday, July 23rd. Breanna and Zach start on Aug. 13th. We have two school systems in our town(I won't even go there) the city only has elementary schools and also has some of those schools on an alternative schedule(go for 9 weeks and off for 2 weeks, we get 7 weeks in the sumer). We actully like this schedule but, all the middle and high schools are owned by the county and they all are on a traditional calendar! So that puts us on 2 different school schedules, fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We did miss our best buddy(this is actually one of our nicknames for Jacob) today while we were out, but he was having fun in school! Today was ice cream sundae day for his class , yum yum!!!!!!!!!!!
