Summer Vacation
I sure miss being a kid...... John and I get to spend our summer working and Cole gets to spend his summer at all sorts of fun camps. His first week will be spent at Laguna Creek Raquet Club day camp. They spend the day swimming, playing tennis, racket ball, volleyball and whatever else they dream up. On Thursday they have a field trip and this week they will be going to Sunsplash water park.
What a tough life. Of course, we will make him attend swim practice too. LOL

Time sure flies
I cannot believe how busy we have been. Between my working full time and Cole with school piano, baseball, swim team and alter serving the three of us have been running for three months. Last night we ended the baseball season with a swim party at our house. It was fun to see the boys enjoying each other.
It also frees up our scheule. Yeah.
Cole finished 4th grade on Wednesday. It was a very fun year for him with all the historical activities and field trips. He finished the year with a good report card and three trimesters on the honor roll.

My computer is back home....
I now love the Geek Squad!
It was not cheap, but I have (basically) a new computer. It was amazing to discover just how much we use it! Cole even had to retype a 2 page report, when our computer crashed. (Ok, it didn't crash and yes it was my fault!)
Finished putting our paperwork together for Uncle Sam and the tax man says we will be ok!
Another crazy week to come. I will go see Dr. Ken on Wednesday and verify the continuing decline of my eyesight. I protest, but it is really just aging eyes, nothing more.
I spent Saturday at Sutter's Fort getting trained to be a pioneer cook for Cole and his class and their parents when we go in May. Came home smelling like a campfire. Very attractive!

And another week flys by....
Cole started Baseball, started swimming and ended Basketball this week. whew!
We are very excited to be on a baseball team with our friends the Heringer's and the Sanborn's. It will make the season especially memorable. Cole was drafted in to the minors which is a new division this year and he is playing for the Twins.
We are back at Laguna Creek Racquet Club for the swim season. I am just glad I have a guilt free time to work out. While Cole swims laps, I am stepping, running, yoga or pilates.
I had my third Furlough Friday and spent the day cleaning the house. Yuk! Doing Laundry Double Yuk! :-) They say we will have self directed furlough days from now on.
My computer is in the hospital.....OMG... I have not been without one since they invented them. LOL It will be home in 7 - 10 days. Good thing I have gone back to work or I might go through withdrawls!!!!

Well so much for keeping my blog up to date....
Here I am almost three months since my last post. What happened... Oh yeah, I am working full time. DUH!!!!
1. We had a great Christmas week with Jenn and Bryant and I did not take even 1 picture.
2. We had a PJ Party on New Years eve with the Garvie's - Very Fun!
3. Cole is just wrapping up his basketball season (Holy Spirit 4th grade boys) and has really advanced as a player this year. John and I decided it was due to the time he spends on the playground after school playing one on one with other kids.
4. Cole played the Piano to a gymnasium full of proud parents and students in the Holy Spirit Talent Show. His piano teacher Mrs. Edwards attended to see him play and was proud as well.
5. We had another fun evening with the "31 gang" (neighbors) playing 31. It is our turn to host, so I am trying to find a sliver of space on our calendar!
6. The Heringer's and Sanborn's (including boys) came over for a little dinner party. Great fun. I learned I do not want to seat the men at one end of the dinner table. LOL
7. Two weeks later we found out that the boys were all drafted on to the same minor league team. "Go Twins". The parents are very excited about the season. Mark calculated the odds to be 1.6%. wow
8. I attended my first "Happy Hour" in 10 years. It was dubbed WaWaW...... (Women and Wine after Work). Very fun!
9. Just when I finally get a job, they decide to give me two days off every month and cut my pay. I have very mixed emotions about this. I spent my first unpaid "holiday" cleaning house. Yuk! I spent my second unpaid holiday shopping and going to the movies (The Reader). The shopping was probably unwise since I just got a pay cut. So next time we will stick to the movie!
10. We attended the Norris's annual Mardi Gras party and had a nice time catching up with friends and eating "Gumbo".
That pretty much hits the highlights........
