Some Highlights

This week has been very busy. First I was gone last weekend for my brother's farewell. It was great to be there and not miss out on great comments like, "the weirdest true church ever!" It was such a special moment for me and my family to see the transformation Blake has gone through. From being almost anti, to declaring his testimony of the Book of Mormon and Joesph Smith and Jesus Christ. He will be 23 in June, he coud of easily decided to not go on a mission but he made this decision all on his own and it's been a hard processes for him but he stuck it out and now he is going.

I got home lat Monday night, and thankfully Mark's mom was hear she fed the kids breakfast and I tried to jump start myself back into reality of four kids. I took her to the airport and I was left all along to fend for myself. I didn't have a good day, I had a rotten attitude that night at YW's. I really was feeling very overwhelmed, I was tempted to walk into the bishops office and asked to be released I had to bring all four kids with me. It was just too much for me that night.

Wednesday was baseball Thankfully Mark showed up in the middle of the game Drew had another fever (it didn't last so that was good). I took Drew and the girls all home.

Thursday was a very busy day, that morning I went to the kids for a program now some of you have patriotic programs we have Cinco de Mayo programs. It was actually very cute. The kids each did a dance and not all classes do them but this year both my kids classes did so it was fun to see. They did a really good job. Michael was very good I was surprised he was really into it.

Later that evening it was off to the controversial dance show. I had to be there at 6pm. I so thankful Mark showed up just before we where getting ready to leave. So he came later with the boys. It was an interesting program, It's a long detailed story of drama and having it at the church and paying for admission...I'll stop there. Anyway the girls did great. Savannah started to cry though she didn't want to go on she was pretty nervous. The lady later told me that she bribed them with candy to get them to go on, you would of never known they where scared they did awesome. They had to do it the next night as well. Once again a good job without the bribe. AFter we all went to eat at Lefty's. Mmm Good stuff. Taylor missed out though she fell asleep in the car so her and Drew slept while we ate.

Saturday was busy but fun. We went to Michael's game in the morning with they won. YEA! Michael did great, he had a great defensive play as shortstop getting the hit and throwing it to first for an out. He also got to pitch again, and he struck 3 people out, on the last inning to win the game! He is the best picture on the team. Most the kids don't' get strikes that often. Later we went and did some shopping as a family I got a cute new litte yellow purse i like it. And we Saw some people from church they have two kids 8 and 7 so they asked if our kids could come over to play, no way was I going to say No. They went and had a blast. The girls came home with makeup the daughter is 8 years old. Michael also had a lot of fun. Meanwhile Mark and I went and got Chinese came home and watched Grey's anatomy, with Drew.

Speaking of Drew he is such a cutie. People got a kick out of him dancing at the dance program, one man commented on his rhythm. Also this week Drew came running into me with a Magic Tree house book, yelling "ma, ma, ma!" you have to understand is this rough yell to get my attention. He says it to anyone if he wants there attention. So I follow him into his room he checks on me as we are walking by stopping and looking at me a couple of times to make sure I'm following him. He walks to the rocking chair and pats it he want me to read to him, so I read a shortened version of this magic treehouse book. It was so cute. He is very smart, he is not a verbal communicator. But he did nod his head to me the other day when I asked him if he was done eating. I was very proud. I always get a head shake for no alot. Oh normally I get a bounce for yet, he bounces his whole body for yes.

Mark is still really busy most of the time, leaving me as a single mom most of the days. He gets home late. He's tired alot too. But my attitude it much better now than Tuesday so that's good because I teach tomorrow. Well it's late I should get to bed. It's Sunday tomorrow and as much as I wish for a day of rest it's a very crazy hectic morning.
Until Next time...
Good Night.
