schools out

The kids are done with school until after summer and they are so excited:)

They have been arguing and "teasing" each other since I picked them up - I hope this does not last all summer long, it could very easily send me. I am excited because fighting them to get to sleep every night and then again to get up every morning was starting to get to me.  (They struggled with the fact that they needed to be in bed even though it was still light out.)












I am starting my "New" job on Monday and the stress of that could be adding to the stress level of our house I guess:)

Yay us!

  Yesterday was award day for our family:)

 Dan went to Jaxons award assembly in the morning and not only did Jaxon earn his 1st grade Doctorate degree he also earn the most improved reader award - he worked really hard for this and I am so proud of him.





 I went to Kadreys in the afternoon and she not only earned her Doctorate degree she also got the citizenship award and 5/5 sections correct on her Language Arts block test and also 5/6 on her math block test.  She is amazing - she also earned $22 from her teacher for all of her hard work.  Her teacher paid her in $2 bills.






I also got the Presidents volunteer service award (thank to me working for Americorps.)  







So much excitement at our house yesterday.

Oh and I thought I would let you know that I am no longer working at the schools after tomorrow and starting on Monday I am working at Maceys again (the Clinton store, not the Ogden one).     The schools are cutting the hours and I needed to be employed for the summer and get more hours during the year.

Dans Walmart has opened and he is really enjoying it. He works all the time it seems but he is doing awesome and is really loving it.  I am way proud of him.

The End:)

Well, for those of you who did not hear........... The world was supposed to end today:)   People had signs and everything.  But since I am writing this post and you are reading it I guess it did not happen today.










Kadrey turned 9 years old today!  It is amazing that it has been nine years.  Time goes so fast.  She is a great kid and I am very thankful for her:)  She had her party today and we had a pretty good turnout and they all seemed to have a lot of fun (which is good considering that the Party Planning was really last minute.)  After her party we went with friends  downtown to a Pirate Party.  The kids had to follow a treasure map around the Junction (to earn a chance to be entered into a drawing to win a prize:)  They really had a blast.

Today was also the last Saturday soccer games of the season for the kids and they really had a lot of fun.  I am sad that it is over but we have been so busy lately that I am a little glad too.   Both kids won their games.

So even though the world is still here (until Octorber)  somethings did end for us today - Kadrey ended her eight year reign and started onto her ninth.  The soccer season ended for the kids.   Dan also ended his nights off for the week:)

Me again!

Ok so I know that it has been a while.....sorry - life is just nonstop crazyness:).

I will give a run down of my schedule ( for this week )

Monday- Softball (Kadrey)   Baseball (Jaxon)  at different parks - good thing Kadrey has a friend on the team so she rode with them ( I did watch some of her game, though).  Dan also has a soccer game.

Tuesday - Soccer practice and Dance practice (Kadrey)

Wednesday - Soccer game (Kadrey)

Thursday - Soccer practice (Kadrey and Jaxon, Dan is the coach:) Dance practice (Kadrey)

Friday - Clean house, make b-day cake for Kadrey and post (instead of planning her party:)

Saturday - Soccer games (Kadrey and Jaxon) baseball practice (Jax)  Kadreys party

I thought that softball started next week and I was not expecting the soccer/softball sessions to overlap.  Kadrey begged to do the dance thing (they will be performing in 2 parades and at Terrace Days) I kept telling her no that she was too busy but she managed to talk me into it (she does not mind being busy I guess, and she loves it:)

We did manage last weekend to go to the Kids Safe Fair with my friend and we had fun after we checked out the fair we went to this little Cafe and had a donut and then we rode the Trolly around down town.  The kids had a blast
