Busy, Busy, Busy

I just thought that I would do a quick update...we have been busy as usual which in turn has made be blog neglectful but we will hopefully slow down after this month.
Paige is just finishing up Kindergarten and I cannot believe that I will have a first grader this next fall...were does the time go?? It is definantly passing me by. She is also just about to finish up her first dance class with a program at Poky Auditorium on June 16th for the finale. She has done excellant in her dance class but I am afraid that i cannot convince her to continue:( She has deceided that she wants to play Soccor in the fall and I am excited to see how that goes.

Payden is just finishing up his first year at Pre-school and has learned soooo much. He definantly has benefited from his Pre-school class and has made some close friends. He looks forward to Pre-school every week and so hopefully we can keep him busy this summer and he won't miss it so much:) He is looking forward to starting T- Ball in June and I am ready for some good laughs that will come along with it.

Mara is gorwing by leaps and bounds everyday. She is in the process of cutting 2 more teeth which will make 4 total. She is not yet crawling but seems to find things that she is NOT supposed to have pretty easy. i am thinking that her bro and sis must be involved with this somehow. She is developing quite the attitude and it makes me laugh. I mean seriously can kids really have an attitude at this age?? Her tantrums sometimes are unbelieveable.

Shayne is busy with work and work around the house. We have plenty of plans for this summer and hopefully we can get most of them accomplished:)

I have been busy at home with the kids and am looking forward to some nice weather. I know that it has to eventually grace us with it's presence..right?!? I am starting to wonder!!! I am excited to get my garden going and get my hands dirty. I love to garden and am curious to see how my box gardens will do this summer. We are planting lots of new things along with all of the usual stuff. I am looking forward to Mother's Day this next sunday and am excited to have already gotten some handmade gifts from the kids. I love homemade gifts. Now if I can just get through sacrament meeting this next week accompanying the primary things will be fabulous:) Well practice make perfect...or at least that is wht I have been told so there will be lots of that going on this week.

We also just celebrated my Dad's 50th birthday which was a lot of fun. I was stressed up until the last second but it was well worth it in the end. I love suprises but have a hard time keeping them so I almost blew it one too many times. I made him a scrapbook and that was a lot of fun. Everything was worth it seeing his face as he entered the room and everyone yelling suprise. If you know my Dad he is not one for parties and big groups of people especially if he is the center of it all. My parents are also celebrating their 30th anniversary. What an accomplishment that is, I love them so much.

Sorry there are no pics this time, but I promise that they are coming and will be posted very soon. Hope this finds all our friends and family in good spirits.
