May update

May has been nonstop for us. I have am so behind on updates for this blog that I am not sure where to start. I guess I can start with announcing that I finally have a camera again. so there will more pictures from now on. I got the Canon G6 used from Ebay for a pretty good price. I am happy with it.


Angie's news: My overnighter turned out great! Only a slight food issue on Saturday but no one starved! Thank goodness. I even managed to got 18 pages done in my albums. I can't wait until Sept 19 for the next one. I have annual flowers planted and my flower beds weeded. I have been busy organizing my office and all the paper work that accumulates in there!

Javin's news: Baseball has been moving along. He loves the catcher position. They have won some and lost some, I haven't been keeping track to closely. He is having a good time, that's what counts. Only 2 1/2 more weeks of school. One night Javin decided to make bread all by himself, without a recipe. He mixed it all up and left it to rise and then forgot all about it. I kneaded it before I went to bed and then he shaped it into a loaf in the morning and I baked it for him. And the loaf looked great. The only problem was that he forgot to add salt so it didn't have a very good taste to it. He is quite the baker!
Javin has been so consumed with Stars Wars for the past few months that he began to have some behaviour problems. So had a break from Star Wars for a month. One night this week I went in to check on him before I went to bed and found him sleeping on his beloved Star Wars book.

Kailyn's news: Kailyn is preparing for her ballet recital on June 6 and 7. She is quite the dancer. She just couldn't contain herself last week during the special music at offering time and broke free from mom and began dancing across the front of the church. She sings and talks constantly. She is still enjoying her preschool for 2 more weeks.

Family events: We had a fun family bowling event with the church. The kids had a great time. Thank goodness for bumpers! They especially loved it when they turned on the disco light and black lighting!
Between all this rain we have been having we managed to squeeze in a bike trip to the trail and enjoy the beauty of crisp spring day!
We also enjoyed the family night at school. Javin tried some rope tricks and played all the games. They had Right to Read Week in a cowboy theme. They got to dress up all week at school. Friday he even went to school with cowboy boots on!
