A Little Random Journaling!

I am so ready for Spring...and finally we've had some sunshine and a little glimpse of what nice weather could actually be like. I find myself anxious for summer, but in some ways, I'm not ready for the girls to be out of school. I am such a schedule person when it comes to my children that summer sometimes drives me crazy in that respect. The kids stay up late and we just fly by the seat of our pants most days. I always get this way when a change is about to come. I remember at the end of summer last year not looking forward to school starting. So my point I guess is that I don't handle change in schedules very well. We are really looking forward to doing some camping this summer, boating (attempting once again to teach the girls to waterski), hitting some water parks and just trying to enjoy the fun that summer can bring. Our absolute favorite tradition is 4th of July in Idaho Falls. We have vowed to never go out of town for the 4th. I can't wait to hear all the neighborhood kids out in the cul-de-sac and random knocks at the door asking if the girls can come out to play. I do LOVE our neighborhood and all the kids! It's so fun.

We have some big things coming up in the next couple months and life will be crazy. The girls are in a big ballet performance at the beginning of June. They also have their TaVaci Singers concert coming up. I'm super excited about that because each week they come home with some new song they've learned. They're doing Thriller and have some cute moves they're learned. They came home yesterday singing Bye Bye Bye from InSync. I've also heard them randomly singing Cotton Eyed Joe, H.S. Musical songs and Only in America by Brooks&Dunn. Sounds like it will be a very eclectic production. Another season of soccer starts next week. Donevan coaches an all girl team. I'm excited because I was the first to pick up the uniforms and I got pink. Yeah!! They've played many seasons and never been a girly color. They've also started begging to do Gymnastics/Cheerleading. I'm still thinking about it, but am concerned with how much they are already involved with. They also came home and said all they're friends are taking swimming lessons and why haven't they started yet? It's hard to find a balance in all this....and enough money to pay for it all!

Some other shocking things coming up are my 10 Year Wedding Anniversary in May. Wow! That is truly unbelievable. I am also turning 30 in June. How can that be? Enough about that, I might be having a crisis.

Well I am finally unpacked from our Boise trip. My sweet mother in law took home 3 loads of laundry for me after seeing how much I had. Then I spent yesterday doing 7 more loads...that makes 10 loads of laundry. And keep in mind, I have the big front loaders that you can get tons of laundry in. I can't imagine how long it would have taken me in my old washer/dryer. Another benefit of summer is less clothes to wash. No bulky sweatshirts and jeans. Just t's and shorts. Yeah!

Well I guess that is enough of my blabbing. For all you fellow bloggers out there, I love reading your blogs and seeing how everyone is doing. If you are just a blog looker and thinking about getting a blog....do it! Hope everyone is happy and healthy!!!
