CRAZY DAYS

Yep, it's been crazy here. I'm sure no one is surprised by that statement. Let's see...last week we had numerous soccer practices, baseball practices and other running around. We are all done being sick (yay!). I subbed a couple of days as well.

Jake had a soccer game on Saturday. It was rainy, cold and miserable. They lost 12-6. Jake had a great game. He played awesome defense and also scored 4 goals. I was pretty proud of his efforts!

I'm officially a soccer mom! We bought a Nissan mini van over the weekend. My Envoy lease was up and we had to buy something new. Scott hates the idea of a van but so far I love it. It is really nice (5 sunroofs, 2 DVD screens, captain's chairs, navigation, heated seats and so on).

We really enjoyed the beautiful weather on Friday. We grilled out with friends and had a few beers & great conversation.

The kids and I went to visit my family after Jake's game on Saturday. We went to my sister's house for my nephew Ben and niece Maddie's birthday parties. It was great to see my family. Allie went and stayed with my parents for the night while Jake and I went to stay with my
brother Michael & his family. Both Kim & Michael had to work on Sunday morning, so Jake & I got to babysit Drew. It was a ton of fun. Drew loved Jake so much & Jake was such a great sitter. We laughed and laughed the morning away.

Talent Show auditions are done (mostly). It will be a smaller show this year, but we have some pretty cute acts.

  • Monday: Allie dance class, Jake Talent Show practice, me volunteer in Allie's classroom
