Well lots actually....
Baseball:Baseball season is in full swing and so much fun! Bryce is in coach pitch and had a great coach, if I do say so myself. He's pretty hot too! We have games almost every Saturday and practices every Thursday. We have had picture day, field clean-up day, basket making for fundraising, banner making and snack bar duty(I spilled hot chocolate all over me)! It is very involved but we are loving every minute of it. The skill level is so much different than last year. It's exciting to see how well Bryce and the other kids are doing
Dance:
Leah has dance every Thursday. She has improved so much since the beginning. When she started she couldn't jump on one foot for two hops, now she can hop on one leg across the whole room. She had a recital at the Poppy Festival that was so adorable!
School:Bryce won a writing wizard award at school. He continues to ace every spelling test! He is doing great in math. He is still adjusting to being a first grader and wants to stay home, but he seems to be excelling in his education and I couldn't be prouder. He is reading his first novel of over 100 pages. Cute story: The other day we were at the mall and I let them toss a coin into the fountain and make a wish. Bryce was moving his lips but no sound was coming out. He was very serious and then threw it in. I asked what he wished for....He said he wished he could read more books than anyone in his entire school and be the best reader there is.
Leah is doing great in preschool. She loves going and has adjusted to the social aspect very well. Katie and I have been doing our craft days and volunteer time there. After watching the other kids, it is safe to say we seem to be raising them right. They listen, are nice and share. The teacher says they are well adjusted kids.
PTA:We have been jammed packed at the school. I am going for my third term as PTA president. I'm hoping after this year someone will have the courage to take over this position, because it is more intense than I thought! But it is rewarding and worthwhile, most days. We have opened a student store for the kids, arranged a movie night, organized teacher appreciation week, planned an assembly, had a coin drive and the list goes on and on. The student store was a whole week this month and it was hard being out of the house by 7 every morning. We are growing in numbers though and I am pretty proud of that.
Reunion:
Still working on my high school's 10 year reunion. We had the final payments due this month and have about 100 people paid and going. It's been my dream to have an event on a yacht and it is finally happening!!
Anniversary planning:
Our 10 year wedding anniversary is quickly approaching and we have been hitting the gym! We finally booked the trip this week and got a great deal through Costco. We love that place. The parents are very concerned about us going into Mexico, so pray for our safe return because unless something goes down in CABO we will be there! I've been substitute teaching on days I'm not jammed packed to help pay for this trip.
Party Poppers:
I have taken the plunge and am starting party planning as a hobby/career! I have a blog linked to this one, if you wanna check it out and follow me! I ordered business cards and am buying tables and seating for 200, with the help of my awesome parents and in-laws. I'm excited to get serious about what I love to do. I am working on two weddings currently!
Exciting news:
So much great things have been happening to people we love. It is such an exciting time to be young and have things happening! Mostly it is fun to cheer everyone on, as they did for us. I am so HAPPY for all the exciting things that have been happening.
Bobby's brother moved into a new house with his girlfriend Jessie. She is great and I know there will be announcements from them to come!
Bobby's cousin Joey got married to Brittani, who is expecting a baby. They also moved into a new house!
Bobby's cousin Laura is getting married to Jerry in August. Their wedding is going to be so much fun and I'm excited I get to help with it!
My friend April had a baby boy named Emerson! We had a blast throwing her a shower. It's exciting to add a new baby to the group.
My best friend, Katie is getting married to the "dope" guy James. I'm so happy she has found someone so great to share her life with!
And...I'm going to be an aunt!! My brother Dane and his girlfriend Brittani are expecting their first. Everything happens for a reason and I believe this baby is such a blessing to all of us! Plus, did I mention I want to be the coolest Aunt EVER!! So excited to hold a baby I don't have to raise but can love to pieces.
Basically we are on the run a lot. By the end of the week we are tired, but happy!! Beats being bored!
