Fall 2011

This fall has been entirely too busy. The kids are back in school. Jayce is in 6th grade and on the Student Council. Halle is in 2nd grade. She made the competition team in dance. So she has dance 2.5 hours a week. Anna is in Pre-School and is finally starting to like it. She is also back in dance.

 Jayce had to do an art project for the Reflections Program at school. The theme this year was "Diversity" so we went out to see the fall leaves and managed to work his art project in too.  He took this photo (with mom's help)  He is going to get an award for it, and it will be sent on to the next level.  I took a few pretty photos while we were out.

Mike and I are working away. Mike is still at the Elevator company and has had to start traveling occasionally. He's been to Miami, Oakland and Las Vegas so far. With a trip to Portland, OR in the works. Not our favorite thing to have him gone. I am working a few nights a week at Nuttalls Bernina where I teach classes. In addition to all the dresses and costumes I have been making lately. "Sew" much fun! (Sarcasm)

For my Birthday I went to Disneyland for the day with my BFF Jeana. We had an awesome time. So great to get away from the daily grind.

Halloween was tons of fun, but I am very glad it's over. My Mom, sisters and I went to Witches Night Out at Gardener Village a few weeks ago and had a lot of fun. The kids had fun at all their parties, at dance and school. They looked so cute in their costumes. We had our friends the Jensen's over for dinner on Halloween and let the kids Trick or Treat in our neighborhood.

Well, I will try to stay more up to date on our blog, but with how busy we have been I am not gonna hold my breath. :D

1 2 skip a few.... June 2011

Skipped a few months.  But here we are.  Life is moving along at such a fast pace who can keep up.  Here's a fast update....

The kids finished school.  Jayce got all A's and B's on his report card and Halle all A's (well the equivalent anyway, Halle doesn't get letter grades yet).  I was very proud of how much they learned this year.  One of the neatest things that happened this spring was when they brought home awards for a race/run the kids did in the CRT Olympics.  Halle took first in all the girls in 1st grade and Jayce took 7th in all the boys in 5th grade.  I thought that was pretty awesome!!

Anna is growing like a weed and so moody that I'm not excited for her teenage years.  If it's this bad now, ugh!!  She has her moments though and I am glad she likes to hang out with me and go get soda's at the gas station with me.

Mike started a new job at the first of April.  He is now the Regional Collections Manager over the Western Untied States for ThyssenKrupp Elevator.  Long title, eh?  He really needed a change, his last job was incredibly stressful and it was wearing him down.  He enjoys this new company so far.  He says he would love this job if he made a little more money.

Me?  I am still at home.  Sewing dresses, Reading books, running kids around to all the different activities we have going.  I start working at Nuttall's in July.  I start training at least.  I am going to teach classes on how to use the sewing machines they sell.  Classes are usually included when you buy a machine from their company.  That should be interesting, and keep me on my toes.

That's it for now.  I will post another soon.

Blogs to come...
Baseball, Boston & Hartford Trip, Dance, Camping....and anything else I throw in.
