Countdown to Hawaii

Aloha!!!!

Well it's been kinda crazy around here since school let out - hence why I've not been blogging - but I'm still here - well actually - not "here" but in lovely Maui, Hawaii with my man....

We are so fortunate - my mom came to town to watch my 4 kiddies - Mike & I love to travel so here we are enjoying the fun in the sun.....well actually when I look at my camera I only have pictures of Mike so far.... we'll change that soon.

Today we're meeting my grandpa for lunch - he is here also but he leaves tomorrow so we are going out!

Unbelievable

My mom told me about this story today in Las Vegas - I'm not sure how you miss one of your kids at dinner or bed but apparently it happens....so sad - she wanted to make sure I always count my kids - not sure if it is motherly love - or she thinks I'm a bad parent... (just kidding mom)

Recital & Baseball Day




It's that big day - End of Baseball and (endless) Dance Recital Day

My poor girl has to go all day and she danced last night too - when I finally pulled up the schedule though we found out the teacher pulled her Tap and she is only performing her main dances once in all 4 shows, but she has to be in the Finale for all 4 shows, thus making her be there from 9am to 10pm tonight - I think there are some child labor laws to be broken for sure!!!! Unfortunately the dance teacher has her "favorite" groups and they are in all 4 shows - the girls and parents all know it - not sure how it will pan out for us next year but for now, she is putting on her show face. She just got her pictures last night - I can't believe how long her legs look! She is just a regular old 6th grader - but when you make them up - it's kinda frightening!

Ian has had a great season - his hitting has been monstrous lately and he even got a Grand Slam last week! Because of the dance recital I'll miss his last game :( but then they get to have a great party at my friend Julie's house - it's the same one as last year with the water slide in the side of the hill (and the place where I had to jump into the water to save Ian!)

Cman's poor team didn't do that well this year - but personally he did great - he improved his pitching and the coach LOVES him to play catcher - he's one of the only ones that can make throws to 2nd and keeps runners from stealing home. He has a big scrape from last week diving for a save.... he's a great player!

I love watching the kids at their sports - it's always so hard to run around each week for practices and such - but it is so rewarding when they are out there having a great time and improving each year. This truly is what life is about - just watching your kids grow and learn - have a great weekend.

Not that I'm Ignoring Blogging...

Only 7 more days of school!!!! Hooray, and awwwww at the same time - I am done, as I'm sure my kids are - with homework and practices after school. Las week is a blur now, this week is on superspeed...

This weekend I went camping with my Girl Scout Troop - it is our last year so it is very bittersweet. I love being with all of those girls - they are just so much fun. We had 16 camping with us and we were between Santa Cruz & Monterey so the beach was a bunch of fun.





Then I proceeded to come back to Baseball game Monday night, Pack meeting last night, and crazy schedule for the next three nights - it's Dress Rehearsal week for Tyler's marathon dance recitals - she performs Friday night, then 4 shows on Saturday - crazy! Yesterday I even went to the Zoo for a 2nd grade field trip - tomorrow is the 3rd grade musical... the madness will end SOON!!!!
