Andrew's 4th Birthday/ Dance and Tumbling Show

Andrew's birthday was a busy day.  We had two soccer games, a scout jamboree, dance recital practice, dance recital and his party -- all squeezed into one day!  For once, it wasn't me that went to the scouting activity, so there are no pictures of it.
Andrew absolutely loved his tumbling class this year.  Their end of year program used the music "Kung Fu Fighting"  He thought is was the coolest ever. He had a huge smile on his face the whole time.   The pictures may look strange because I was backstage.  Hailey took a hip hop class this year.  Her show music was a tune called, "Monkey's Uncle".  (I forgot to take pictures while she danced.  we have a video, but aren't posting it).  They both did an outstanding job.  I was really upset that for a hip hop class there were no actual hip hop moves in her dance. However, she did very well and may be ready to move on to a more serious dance studio.  

Andrew's Fishing Trip

One of the best field trips of the year is the trip to the Cold Springs Trout Farm.  Everyone catches a fish within 20 seconds of dropping a hook into the water - regardless what is on it.  There are always squeals and giggles!  The best part is Andrew caught enough fish to feed the whole family for dinner!

Been Awhile

It always seems like I get around to this blog while I am working.  I have two computers sitting side by side.  I am having to re-image the other one for school so they can re-sell it (a long story I will get to at some point.)  The process is taking so long and all I can do is wait, so I figured I can finally write this again.  However, I am not really sure why I am writing other than for my own personal satisfaction.  I knew my mother read this, but she is no longer with us.  There are only very small handful of people who live out of state who might be interested in this.  I assume everyone else who is in the state is probably around me enough to know everything they need to know about me already.  However, the one thing that was really cool about my blog last year was when I published it into a book.  I never wanted to hand write another journal again, so this what you get.
