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.

Feeling all the Feels

Right now I am feeling all the feels. We had such a great week with my nephew and Jake. The house is louder and has more enegy when all four kids are home. And our nephew is seriously one of favoriate people. He lets the boys hand on him and they just look up to him so muchd. So I am writting because I am not sure what else to do at this pount. I have been applying for a job(s) that I have been inspired to do for a long time. I have been really trying to to step upside of my comfort zone and apply for things that I know I can do although I have never done them before. I have been considering doing some writing and writing a book. I have no desire to be published I just want to be able to start being more creative . I have so many fears about so many things. Missy Kay turned 19 today and Andrew had his first tennis meet of the seaon. I am thankful for my people who show up to support and love us. There was this moment at the meet where one of the parents gave me haug aft...

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...

It has been a week

Here is how the week went Monday: OUr 25th anniversary. I was sick. We went and tried a Cuban restrant not as good as the food we had in Miami but it was good. We love trying new local places. It ended in tears. I won't go into all the details but I am relaizing that this is not the marriage I want. I am open about what I need and we will go from there. Luke started wrestling. Tuesday: End of the year banquent for Luke and Andrew. Luke recevied the "Most Improved" Awared. Here is the thing about that. His coach talked about how during summer practice he wouldn't even run 100 yeards. He would just stop. At some point after the first meet it clicked and he just ran and did what he needed to do. He went up adn accepted the award with such confidence. Wednesday: Both boys had activities. Andrew had stayed home from school due to not felling wel. My guess is he just needed a rest. He was feeling up for going and making pizzas at the Bishop's hous...
