Drama, The good and the bad

Last night we went and saw Joseph and the Technicolor Dream Coat. My sister in law and niece were in it, which made it even more fun. I always dread going and trying to do stuff like this because I have VERY active children and sitting still for 2 hrs is just simply not possible for them, especially at 8 pm (which is bed time). So as I expected getting ready and getting there was just torture, fighting, whining (which is my least favorite form of communication), and complaining. Once we get to the theater they start misbehaving and running around that is until the show starts. So long story short they both LOVE drama and I need to remember to give them the benefit of the doubt.

Thanks Vicki for a great night!

So as promissed I have pics of Odessa practicing for her dance recital next week. She is so excited, anyone who wants to come can on thursday at the lehi legacy center, Its only 30min!

Final days of Summer

Well here I am again posting after an all to long break in posts. I promose that some day I will be more efficient and post more regularly, but until then here is what I got. This summer has gone by so fast! I was going to school full time, working and being a mommy to four very busy little people. This by its self makes me tired just thinking of it, but to add to that we also had a few additional life changes.

WE MOVED TO A NEW HOUSE!

There it is our very first private single family house, granted its a rental but still its all ours for the next year. I love it we have a garage and a fully fenced backyard, plus we are one block from a park and a fishing pond.

Our next big adventure was T-Ball. Alex is officially a BOY he has completed a full season of T-Ball (He even has a metal to prove it,lol). T-ball was a very interesting mix of organized sports and choas since the players do not have to follow any real rules, while playing a game with TONS of important rules. Still he did great and even overcame his fear of getting hit in the head with a ball!

Odessa had a new activity this summer as well, she is in dance class. It is so fun to watch her do little girly things. She is such a brute in everyday life that it is rare to see her in this way! Her final performance is on August 13th (pics to come!).

Now that all being said, I am so excited and scared of whats next: The big K work, thats right KINDERGARTEN. My first born, my baby, is starting kindergarten in two weeks. Ok so I guess a better way to summarize what I am feeling is terrified! I have no idea how to do this part. I get babies and I get teens, but I know nothing about the in betweens. I guess this will just be a day by day and then by the time I figure it out it will be to late to change. I guess thats parenting!

Also about the same time as Alex starts kindergarten I will be an official full time benefitted employee with Primary Childrens Medical Center. This means that I will be at work 36 scheduled hours per week. In exchange I will have medical, dental, vision, paid time off, and retirement. This is a huge relief because for the last few years the winter has hit our pocket books hard and this will provide a nice "pillow".

Well I guess thats it for now but I will update soon with Odessa's dance pics!
