What we've been up to-

Braden made it to the Math/ Science Olympiad for 2 events and chose to go for tile trials. I have no idea what he was suppose to do other than he had to use multiplication and division to solve a puzzle and if you answer wrong the tiles are wrong. Him and his partner did well but only got 4th place. 1st through 3rd get medals. To a third grader not getting a medal was like the end of the world he got a little upset but , I was very proud of him!



So Austin had his first boy/girl dance at school. Me and some other mom's went and decorated for a luau theme. It was so cute. Austin didn't really want me there but he said I could go if I didn't bring my camera. If you go to my friend Chandra's blog she has her daughter and Austin on video taking their first dance with the opposite sex. We told them it would be less embarrassing if they asked friends. Austin had to ask 5 girls and 5 girls asked him. He was a little nervous in the morning but, after the first dance his face went back down from the dark shade of red it was. I was only going to stay a minute and then go to work but I ended up staying the whole time because it was so cute! Somewhere near the last half hour I suddenly got really depressed about my baby being so grown up. He doesn't think he needs me any more. It is all very sad. On the other hand, if he stays as moody and mean as he has been lately I will be moving him out the day he turns 18!

Mother's day we went over to my sisters house and had a barbeque. All the kids kept getting injured. Carver was doped up on pain meds because he fell off a fire man pole at the playground and ended up having surgery to put bolts in his arm. Braden fell and took half his toe skin off. Jace got hit in the head with a croquet ball -okay, so my London threw it. I am sure it was an accident, right? It was good to get together. My little neice was so cute she kept showing me her teeth but it just looked like she was mad. She can always brighten my day. Robyn hates it but she calls me mom too- love it! When you look at London's outfit please don't think I dressed her. She insisted on dressing herself that day. Chad said she looked like Hannah Montana with that green vest on. Needless to say after Me and Chad saw how short her skirts and shorts have been, London got new clothes.

As you can see I still have my pictures coming in sideways. I have no idea why. I tried making them smaller and I make sure they are the right direction when I bring them over. Any ideas?













Baseball has started and Braden is like a different kid from last year. He is doing really well. I just hope he remembers baseball is his least favorite sport and still doesn't want to play next year. It's hard to give it up if he is playing well, but I can't survive through kid pitch. I heard it is very painful to watch.



Spring season of soccer ended and we had a big soccer party to celebrate. Chad took a week brake from practiices, but we will be getting ready for tournaments soon.
