Almost June

Wow, time flies!! It's almost June! I can't possible re-cap everything from the past couple months, so here are just a few highlights. Let's see...
Christina fractured her finger -somehow- and ended up going to school with a splint on April Fool's Day. Everyone thought she was faking and it was a prank. I had to send a Doctor's note so her teachers would know it was for real! She couldn't play her clarinet, so she ended up playing percussion. She didn't like it much at first, but ended up embracing it and played both percussion and clarinet in her last band concert. She starts Jr. High next year! Can't believe it!!
Michael broke his finger a little over a week ago in PE at school. We will be seeing a hand specialist on Tuesday, he may need surgery to insert a pin. We are hoping that won't be necessary. Our Home Teacher came over and looked at the x-rays and he even said it's borderline. He may or may not need surgery. Crossing our fingers. He is suppose to be going to Scout Camp on Tuesday for the week. This is a different camp than they usually do. They only go every 4 years to this one. I am so sad that he may not be able to go. Michael starts High School next year! Ugh! Where did time go?!? A High Schooler??

Ryan will go to kindergarten in the fall. Tyler will stay in pre-school and Amanda starts 2nd grade. Hopefully all 3 of them will be at the same school. That would make life a bit easier.

We have been out on the lake a few times already. I love being on the water. It is so relaxing, there is no better place to be. It's my happy place! Unfortunately Michael won't be doing much wakeboarding this summer with his broken finger and all. But I am sure he will make up for lost time.

David is still at his same job. Still hoping for a promotion! I got a new job with the Town of Gilbert and I LOVE it!!! I was able to quit my other jobs and just do this one. I can't say how much I LOVE this job. It is so laid back and easy going. There is no drama, no politics, no stress. I am so happy there. I turned a year older this month! Still under 40, but just a tiny bit!

We are looking for a house. We have found two that we love and hope to be putting an offer on one of them next week. It's such a big decision. And as always, I am over analyzing it way too much. But hopefully we will be getting into our own home again soon. Then we can order all our furniture and feel like we are finally 'permanent' here. lol... It's exciting and a little stressful at times. But I know it will all work out in the end.

My parents were able to come and visit. That was really fun having them here with us. It always goes so fast! Wish they could've stayed longer, but alas, they had to go back home. Really hoping to get the chance to head north to see them -and all our family there- this summer. David's parents were also here in April. They came for Michael's birthday. They stayed at a resort in Scottsdale, so we took the kids up a few times so they could swim in the pools and hang out. Some of the kids spent the night with them a couple of times. We loved seeing them and spending time with them. They ended up being able to stay longer than originally planned, so that was really nice having that extra time with them. It's always fun to have family visit.

So, here's to summer. Bring it on!!! Hot days -and nights. Lake trips. Swimming in the pool. Summer movies. Hanging out with friends. And hopefully, a move into a new home!
