We have been out boating and had a blast there was not many boats out ( I love it when the lake is not crowded) Kenz has been working on jumping the wake wakeboarding and is getting there. Geez what a crazy summer so far, Megs softball team played in the World Series and did great, and then onto the Kenney Chesney concert for a fun girls night out!!! and I can not believe it but I already sent 2 kids back to school, wow summer is already coming to an end!!!

SLOW AGAIN!!!!

So once again I am so slow at updating my blog!!! We have had a crazy month again, but how would things ever be different than any other month.

First the State JO Meet, Kenz did AWESOME she dropped time in almost everything and place in the top 20 in all of her events she is so excited because she has not even started the big High School training and is swimming just as fast as High School Girls!! Keats did so GREAT at the meet she took 2 team records and keeps getting faster and faster and she is just loving swim!! I am so glad that she has finally found a sport that she loves and is good at!!! They have been on a break for the last month (this has been nice) but Kenz has been playing Ultimate Frisbee (basically football with a Frisbee) with the older swim kids after school everyday and has been having a blast what a nice change it has been!!

Second Baseball, Softball and La Crosse have started!! Softball is going great the Freeze is off to a great start and they are 5-0 and doing great Megs is catching again and doing great she is also hitting well!!! I can not believe how far she has come from this little 4 year old that started playing softball just because the cute girls across the street played and Megs loved to watch her!! Baseball started a few weeks ago and Ethan has loved it this year!! His coaches have him pitching!! that really surprised me but he is doing GREAT and loving it! He has also started La Crosse and has not yet started games but has been loving the practices and as his coach said for being a 1st year he is real good cause he can catch and throw with the stick??? not really sure what that means but I will learn this new sport!

I took the kids over spring break down to Capital Reef (Torrey,UT) to see an old friend of mine and to let the kids have a little vacation, we had a blast and really enjoyed the break! I even got to work at Slackers I have done this a few times, my friend owns the burger joint and we have fun working together and catching up and the kids love the fact that they can walk all over and not have to worry about anything to much because it is such a small town.

What else do I do but kids? and then add knee surgery!

So what else do I do besides write about my great kids, yes I know I am a proud mom!!! but what mom isn't!! We have been busy as usual, but then I finally figured ok I am going to get this knee fixed that has been nothing but problems for awhile!! Now try doing that and being a mom and working, guess what it does not work!!! I am so far behind on everything and feeling overwhelemed, but I will get through it I always do. The kids have been good but their version of clean and mine are two very different things!!
The kids have been so much fun here is a shock there was another swim meet but this time up in Logan the girls did GREAT Keaton took 5th place in 9 and unders she was so cute and did so well!! Kenz did awsome to she got 9th over all I know this sounds like we are proud of the kids doing ok, but really her age group is considered 14-99 so she did good, swimming is just one of those sports that seems strange. Ethan on the other hand shocked me he came home from school about a week ago and told me he is student of the month, not that he is a bad kid he is not at all but if you know him you know that he loves to tease and tourment...I will leave it at that, he is so much fun to be around and as a reward for student of the month we are having a mom and son date and he requested a Jazz game so I got tickets for us as a surprise and when he got his award at school last friday I let him know which game we are going to and he is excited we got the Jazz vs Lakers. And my Megs she is so cute and just loves her cousins and can not seem to get enough of them or her Grammy! she is getting ready for Softbal season to start and they have started practicing again and she has been working on her catching that she just loves (she even got a new catchers mit and was bouncing aroung the house she was so excited).

I am greatful for the help they have been, and I need to learn their version of clean is ok!! and I am thankful for all the help I have gotten from a number of people with my knee surgery, it was alot worse than I thought but now starting therapy it seem to be doing better!!! So thanks to everyone that helped!!!

What we have been up to!

We had a wonderful Christmas and holiday season and enjoyed spending time with the kids! They got some fun stuff for Christmas like Rock Band etc.. and have had fun playing these games with the kids! We gave them a trip to Disneyland and went in January and had a wonderful week with the kids and spending time with them! It was also Ethan's 12th birthday that is hard to believe that is has been 12 years since he was born! I am so grateful to have 4 fun and great kids ans enjoy spending time with them and watching them grow up!! Danny and I got the kids to go on every ride atleast 1 time and even if they had been scared they ended up liking the ride in the end, we went to Seaworld one day and the kids got to feed the dolphins etc...on the way back to LA we stopped in LaJolla and saw where kenz goes to swim camp during the summer. It really was a fun trip!!! now we have had to get back to the real world, well sort of, I finally got my knee fixed on Thursday and am hoping that it will work and can start running again!
