Is it Summer Yet??





So, while everyone else is out of school and enjoying the pool and warm weather we are having, we are STILL in school!!! That is the only thing I hate about year-round school. We get no summer break. This is the last week of school and I can't be more excited. I am ready to play with my kids. We only get 3 weeks off and then it is back to the next grade. That is what I do like about year-round. They will be ready to go back to school in 3 weeks. And so will I. So, we haven't been doing much lately. The twins occupy themselves with dress-ups, riding their bikes with no training wheels (video soon) and a little mischief every once in a while. Last week they had a tape party in my office. AND, of course, what would June be without fire pits, smores, and baseball games. Jacob had a great first season and LOVED it!!! His coach finally realized on the last game that he could hit both righty and lefty. He would switch it up whenever he felt like it. His favorite was playing catcher. Wonder where he gets that from?? Mackenzie stays busy reading her books and writing stories and songs. She wants to be a rockstar ya know. Wonder where she gets that from? HA HA!!!! We are counting down the days till we see my whole family at the beach. Hopefully we have enough gas money to get us down there but not back!!! Wouldn't that be nice? Oh yeah, AND, we have a new guest in our house. My little bro, David!! He got a great job in Salt Lake, so he is staying with us until he finishes training and finds a place of his own, closer to work. Right bubba? The kids love having him. Hope you are all having a GREAT summer so far.........

Looks like fun...I like the idea of year round school, but mayby only because I didn't have to do it :-) Hopefully we can see you guys while you are in town!...as for the gas, you don't want to be stuck here paying $4.70 a gallon :-(
