The Usual

I know I need to post but life is going along so smoothly I feel as if I've covered most everything.

Mike- has had some really big projects and thus, lots of homework. He is training for the Big Sur marathon and so far that is going pretty well.

Brooke- I got new tennis shoes, new fancy insoles, a new friend to run with, and I'm feeling great. I have been working closely with Ellyn and her tutor, attempting to learn everything I can before our move in case we have issues in Kansas. We also had her annual review last week for her IEP. Ellie's team and I are working hard to ensure a smooth transition to a new school and new programs. Everyone is really detailing the techniques they use to make Ellyn's schooling a success.

Jane- survived her mother chaperoning a stake dance. She said I barely embarrassed her:-). Tomorrow she starts the long weekend of rehearsals for CCS honor band. She has two solos on the piccolo. She is nervous and very excited.She is going to be one tired girl by Saturday afternoon. I am very excited for her.

Sadie- has discovered Garfield and she thinks he is hilarious. She brings home a new comic
book every few days. Every night Mike, Sadie, and Sawyer spend about 45 minutes or so playing video games together. Mike loves it and so do the kids. Sadie plays well, pretty impressive to me. I have zero skills.

Ellyn- this little girl is amazing. Right now I'm watching her dive for rings at swim therapy. She is doing so well in every way. She has mastered using a hand motion and head nod for "yes" and I think she feels very empowered. You can see it in her face.

Sawyer- is on week two of preschool and he loves it so much. He loves taking his lunch in his lunchbox. He loves telling all of us everything he is learning. He is so smart! Today he recited the first three pages of his monster book.

MICHAEL IS COMING HOME TOMORROW!!

My Michael is coming home . You can't just say it. You have to SING it. Tomorrow my tall, strong, gorgeous, husband will be here and it will be beautiful. He will nestle into the life of our family and we will have him with us, here, in our house, in our family . He'll help put on jammies and read stories, and tutor Jane in math. He'll take me on dates and wrestle at least one child during sacrament meeting. He'll snuggle me in bed at night and nuzzle my neck while I'm doing dishes. We'll go for walks and play games and watch movies and do fun family Saturday stuff. He'll help carry a kid down to the car and then he'll drive while I put on my makeup ! We love him, we know how much he loves us. We can't wait! Don't worry, I won't work him to death. I won't make him cook dinner every night for the next 10 months or hand over the kids and take off to the spa for the weekend (tempting, but... no). We just want him HERE. I kee...

Fun weeks!!!

These past two weeks- three weeks have been quite fun. Up till now school has been really hard. With friends and work. This Jenna that I beleive has already been mentioned is really mean to me. We were best friends one day and the next she had made friends with a drama causer/ bad influence and completely dumped me. It's stupid and I really do try to ignore it but it is more than I can handle. Now I'm lonely in school(because we together had a small group of friends) . I have one other friend so that is good. I hope everything straightens out because she is still being rude to me. Tomorrow is flute auditions. I hope that goes well and I also hope I get my braces off tomorrow. Lots of HOPE. Right now I am watching American Idol with my wonderful family who is the best friend I'll always have. I love taking care of my little siblings. They are always so fun and make me so happy. My mom tries so hard to be a an amazing mother and I appreciate her so much. She is my best friend...

Almost a week already?

I swear I just wrote and yet it is two hours away from Wednesday again. You know sometimes I like to pretend that no one reads my blog and I just ignore the fact that I have anyone reading and then sometimes I just want to write directly to my family and friends that read the blog. I'm fickle like that I guess. This past weekend just seemed really great to me. Friday I felt really ill, just a bad cold but I chose to just stay down for the day and try to recover (cold mostly gone in 3 days by the way)so Friday night we did a pizza night. Aunt Jackie, I'm having the same problem with Fit for Life. I keep expanding my free days and also I am eating way out of control on the free day. A binge if you will. I need to rein in again. Superbowl Sunday and Valentine's Day did not help at all! Which brings me back to pizza night. I saw an ad for $10 pizzas from Pizza Hut. Domino's pizza- fine. Papa John's- I can pass, but when I saw that Pizza Hut special I had to ...
