Update on the Madness

I don't even know where to start on what we've been up to the last couple of weeks. Last week was Parent/Teacher Conferences. I LOVE those (for now anyway). It takes about 5 minutes to see their teachers and they always say great things about them. Where they learned it I'm not sure. Brooklin didn't get a report card this time, she did last time and the only area she was lacking in is picks up after herself. She got an "N" for NEVER. I'm training her well. Here's a look at the lastest report cards.


Patrick did another bike race last weekend in Scottsdale. It was the Tour de Cure (for Diabetes). Another 63 miler under his belt. He said it was a good ride and the kids and I enjoyed another weekend of hanging out with the Gardners and Johnsons (I sure am glad he picked good riding partners). The kids got to swim and we enjoyed the heck out of the valley weather. Saturday we went and stayed with Garrett and Amy. It's always fun to stay there. Thanks guys! Sunday afternoon we drove home and Monday was the start of a HECTIC week. Two words - LITTLE LEAGUE!! Just to give you an idea Patrick got home about 11 last night (after drafts and tryouts) and the phone starts ringing at 7am this morning. I had 5 people call and my doorbell rang 5 times before 10 this morning!! Things should get better after we start the season (April 12th). Until then, my kids may be hungry and my house may be in shambles.... I'm sure it will also require EXTRA trips to Sonic.

Shayna has been sick the last couple of days. Lots of ibuprofen (I think grouchiness is a side effect of so much medicine - she's been a little unbearable). Hopefully she'll be back to herself soon. Tanner is just enjoying life. He loves scouts and is looking forward to playing little league with his friends and cousin Trey. Brooklin - WOW, she's successfully mastered demolishing three rooms (in nothing flat) while I work on little league and primary stuff. She keeps us entertained and we're loving her third year of life. She had to take a leprechaun trap to preschool last week, what a treat. I had the cutest picture of it on my camera but I just went to upload it and it's been replaced by 42 pictures of the seat of my car. Uh, wonder who did that? Needless to say we didn't "trap" any leprechauns.

Lastly, we are looking forward to Spring Break next week and hope to get somewhat caught up. Hope everyone is doing well. Have a Happy Easter.
