PT conference

So, its that time of year again  (ok so PT conference was really like 2 weeks ago - I am a little behind:).
We met with both kids teachers and got to check up on their progress.  They are both doing well.

Kadrey is at or above grade level in most all subjects - she is only slightly behind in math.  The girl is so funny (and drives me crazy) - her big goal in life is to make it to Notre Dame and already gets very upset at her self when she does not do her school work perfect.  She is a bit of a perfectionist so her cursive work takes her hours because it need to look just right.  She has woken me up in the middle of the night before and told me that she is "stressing out" because of homework.   Its sound cute right?!  but some days -after all she is only in 4th grade.  She is trying her best and doing awesome - I am so proud:)






Jaxon is doing really well also.  He to is at or above grade level in most areas.  He is also slightly behind in Math.  He, on the other hand does not really worry about school and some days I have to fight him and threaten grounding just to get him to do his homework.  He also get in trouble almost daily for talking while he should not be and also for getting out of his seat and getting off task - this issue we have been working on since Kindergarten- other then that he is doing great at school and I am very proud of him.

So all in all they are doing pretty good and both got to pick out a couple of books at the book fair.    

 I sure do love these kids:)

The mountains

 Dan spend last weekend and Friday hunting - he did not get a deer but he had a lot of fun.  He did get to see a lot of deer and other animals and he got to spend time in amazing surroundings! (lucky)

my silly kids.

They are not really asleep LOL

My kids are so silly (and cute).  They sure know how to have a good time:)  Love them!

They always bring a smile to my face -(even when they are being naughty, i just try not to let them see me at those times).

hot dog roast

The other day we had an outside hotdog roast - it was so much fun.  We decided that before the weather changed too much it was time to bust out our fire pit and have a little outdoor cook- out.  We had a great time and the food was pretty yummy:)  We invited Dans cousin Kassi, her friend Dan (he came later so he did not eat with us,just played soccer and hung- out) and also Dans Brother-in-law made a surprise visit with his kids.   It sure was a fun evening:)

and.........

On my birthday between shopping and SLC  I got to go and watch Kadrey at her soccer game - she is awesome:)  her team won 11 to 1.  She made 8 of the goals (Dan finally had to move her back to play defence, because really after a beating like that no one is having fun).  I don't get to watch her saturday games all the time and so I love when I do get to see them.  She does play on a comp team (it all boys except her:)  and those games are in the evening during the week so I get to see all of those.

She is growing up so fast I can hardley believe it.  Already 9 and thinks she is all grown-up.

My Birthday!

So this last week I turned 31 years old....can you believe it 31.  I don't feel that old and i hope I don't look that old - I remember as a kid always thinking that people in their 30's were so old - but people don't think that anymore right?! haha

I had an awesome birthday - My Best Friend from High School came to town and after many years of not seeing her we got to spend the whole day together.  We went to the mall and bought clothes (well, mostly she bought), we then went to O.H.S  (they have been remodeling the school for a bunch of years)    they were having an open house to show off how fancy it is now (some parts are still under construction weird huh?!)  We then went to SLC and went to the General RS meeting (I have never been to the conference center it was pretty amazing)  - it was so nice to go (her sister  - in - law got tickets and took us:)  Then we went to Red Lobster!  Such a fun night.

I hope we can get together much more often then we have in the past:)  maybe now that she lives in this state that will help right

Weekend of fun -

We sure did have a lot of fun this weekend -
Jax had his soccer game and scored 2 goals and Kadrey scored 6 (maybe it was 5 - either way amazing right?!).  I had asked for Saturday off because originally my family was going to go to Logan and watch Kassi (Dan's cousin) run a marathon - sadly Kadreys game started in the afternoon and Kassi ran too fast (that part is not sad:)  so we never  got to see her run.  But after the run she brought the gang down to see us and watch the end of Kadreys game - they all ended hanging out at our house most of the evening ... we had a BBQ, roasted mallows, and just hung out.  It was a lot of fun (we have not all gotten together in like 5 years).
My sister had her birthday this past week so on Sunday me and the kids went to my parents house where they had a little party for her.  My dad made some yummy food for dinner (i do not know how to spell it but I will try - millinasa - ) and I made the cake and we just sat around and laughed and had a good time.  I went to their house earlier this week and I was helping my sister make some lemon bars because it was her b- day and she really wanted some - not my best work that day- they were a total failure:)  but the cake turned out good.
This weekend should be fun my friend from high school is going to be in town -
I will try to remember pic of that day:)
