Life at the moment.

May 18, 2011

I guess it has been over a month since I have really checked in or blogged anything.  Probably should update everyone on all the happenings in our family.

Devin is working hard both at work and at home.  He is still the ward missionary and that calling has been great for him and the members of our ward.  I think he missed secretly missed missionary work.  Besides that he has been spending most of his home time helping his aunt complete a book about his amazing grandma.  He is extremely happy with the outcome and proud of the work.

Lenna.  I am home most days trying to tackle the laundry or dishes.  When I am not home I can be found at the school helping in Jake’s class or with PTA projects.  Next year I am helping the PTA with all the fund raising.  Should be super fun.  I get to design the school t-shirts, sweatshirts, and sweatpants.  When I am not at either of those places I am at the church.  I was just recently called at the Activity Day’s Leader.  That keeps me busy twice a month on Wednesday evenings.  I have 3 adorable girls and we have had a great time making various things and playing games.   Shortly following that calling they called me to be the ward camp director.  Camp is the last week in June and should be a blast.  I have really enjoyed working with the YW Presidency and the Amazing YW in our ward and stake.  Camp director put me at 3 callings, I was very pleased to be released from the Cub Scout Committee as the Scout Parent Unit Coordinator.  I have to admit that was a difficult calling for me.  I am currently prepping for my June boutique.  I am really excited, I am hoping to have some great new hair flowers, as well as some adorable frames.  I am working on having plenty of great vendors, and beautiful weather.  If you are around come check everything out!

Jake is super busy! HE LOVES Kindergarten, and he is really happy to have his teacher back from maternity leave.  We recently were informed that Jake has been accepted to take part in a Dual Immersion Program at a nearby school.  Next year, he will be learning both Spanish and English.  We are really excited for him and glad Devin served a Spanish speaking mission.  It will help out with homework.  Jake just finished playing Spring Soccer with Murray City.  He had a great time especially since one of his best buds from school was on his team.  The last week has been really busy with Jake.  Thursday, we found out Jake had Strep throat.  Then on Monday evening, Jake jumped off of the trampoline in the back yard, and broke his arm/wrist.  It is a minor break, definitely not nearly as bad as it could have been.  We are so grateful for that.  He will get a waterproof cast on Sunday, with summer coming I would be crazy not to put him in a waterproof cast. I have to admit I am relieved it is so close to the end of the school year.  He broke his right arm, so he is having a hard time with school work, especially initially with the splint on.  The Dr. said the cast will allow him to do much more, we are crossing our fingers.

 

Grace.  Grace is just as happy as can be.  She recently had a bought with pneumonia, even being sick she is just such a content girl.  She has started discovering Barbies.  Crazy, but fun.  She loves princesses.  The most difficult things with Grace right now are; keeping her in one change of clothes per day.  SHE LOVES TO GET DRESSED. I think I pick up 5 clean shirts, and 3 pairs of pants off her floor most evenings.  The other big stresser with Grace has been Potty training.  She acts like she is ready, wants to wear undies, and not a diaper, but she doesn’t go when she needs to.   I keep thinking that it will just be so much better to do this once summer is here and she is playing outside more.  She loves to read, color, and do puzzles.

 

It seems like is kind of crazy for us right now.  BUSY, I am sure things will slow down once school gets out!
