HELLO SUMMER

Last day of school was Friday.  Kids had such an amazing year and the school sends the fifth graders off in style.  There was a bar b q and kick ball game.  Teachers beat the kids for the second year in a row.  There was a game day and an awards assembly.  The kids were able to tour the school earlier in the month which helped Jake some.  Jake missed his last day of GT and so upset by it.  He was just so sick. Both the kids got sick the second to last week of school.  Jake got it worse and didn't move for nearly three days. 

But Jake recovered enough to play in his "Day of Lacrosse" and won both games that day.  Although he probably shouldn't have played at all he was still weak.  But after missing the last two regular season games we let him play.

They were both well enough to go all week the last week of school. 

Victoria danced over the weekend in her recital.  She says that she is over dance but we will see. The last few months she really seemed to lack the passion she had before.    We decided to (mostly) take a break from sports this summer and then we will start in the fall.  We may sign Victoria up for track but I haven't decided yet. Victoria ran a 5K and did amazingly well and so now she has decided that is what she wants to do.

The kids and I are heading to my mom's cabin on Sunday.  I need to just get away for a few days. We still haven't worked out the details but I need to be home on Wednesday because I work on Thursday and Friday.  Jake has a camporee on Friday and Saturday and Lee is going as well.

Time to dust this off

L:ong story short I came across something that made we want to add back to this. Not sure why but hwere we go. Life is constantly chaning and I feel so mnuch surround bu death lately. Not diredctly although I fee like that is coming but more just heartbreak for so many around me. Yesterday Victoria quailfied for state. It was an answer to a prayer. I prayed she would qualify and felt strongly she would. As we left her away at the meet she was certain as were we that she hadn't qualified and then the clouds parted and she will be able to run. She told me she prayed that she would have a good last high school race. and her last race was not grea. There were tears. And rears when she called me to tell me she qualified. So rad trip to ther side of teh state next weekend Wednesday Jake is going through the temple. So many mixed feelings for so many reasons. I shouldn't expect people to show up but sometimes it is just so hard when my mom is the only "church...

Here is what we have been up to for the past couple of weekends,  Jake had his first soccer game.  Shawn came to visit.  Lee got a new RC truck that he loves and so do the kids.  They spend the weekend chasing the truck which totally wore them out.  We did some gardening.  Victoria and I went to Weiser to a baptism of one of my previous foster kids.  It was so great to see the family again.  I really miss seeing them on a monthly basis.  We played newspaper tag with Shawn and Demitri. Grandma Gina and Grandpa Don stopped by for a little while on their way home.  Oh yea and the primary had a bug day where the kids dressed up like bugs.  Victoria was a butterfly and Jake was a bee.  I  have four more days left of the semester.  Lee is in Kamiah this week to spend some time with Shawn before basic as well as some other things.

When you know somebody is having a hard time in their marriage.  Pull them closer.  Ask to take the kids for a weekend.  Bring them dinner.  Reach out to them.  Ask them how they are doing.   Don't insist on visiting or having them visit you.  Know that their world feels like it is falling apart and it is taking every bit of energy to put on a good face for the kids and to work and run a household.  And it is has to be done while they continue to reside with somebody who they are struggling to have the most basic of conversation with.
