An update...

Hey Everyone!

The past two months have been so incredibly hectic!

Scott was in Tadpole and Jack was in T-Ball. So, we were at the ball field for 4 nights a week. And on Tuesday's Sam and I would have to split up...Sam would take Jack to T-ball and I'd take Scott to soccer practice. George thankfully went to Mom and Dad's for most of those nights as he's a handful and hated going to the games and practice. Then on Sundays, Scott would have a soccer game. And yes, soccer was supposed to end back in March, however the select soccer team Scott was playing on, decided to go until the end of June.

The boys are now out of school. So, in September, Jack will be starting Grade 2 and Scott will be starting Grade 4. And for Scott, it will mean another change as they introduce the letter grades in Grade 4. This should be interesting...time to buckle down on him a little more I think as he's gotten a little lazy with how well he does is work.

George is now finished music class and will be starting again in September. Puddlejumpers again although the songs and dances will be different this time around.

We also had Sports Day last month and although the RED team won (we're Red house)in overall scoring points for the year and Sports Day's total, they gave first place to Blue house. Only because Red house won last year and the year before...and they can't let the same color house win for 3 years in a row. Too bad. ;) The boys were happy with second place though and the ribbons of all colors are Red.

Last month we also celebrated George's 2nd birthday. We really did try to trim down the party numbers however we still had 35 (or more!) people come. It was a great day though and he had alot of fun. And the weather was absolutely crazy! 4 hrs before the party, we had one of the worst rain storms we have ever seen! I'll be sure to post some video (I can't figure out how to add it in here). Then just before his party, the sun came out...it was cloudy for the party then just after everyone had finished their cake, it started to rain! Then if that weren't crazy enough, 5 min after (most) people left, the sun came out again.

After the party Scott had his baseball windup to go to so we went to that. The kids vs parents was a fun game...we got 2 innings done and were praying none of the kids would get struck by lightening as we then started having thunder and lightening. We all decided to quit the game early and the base run was done in the pouring rain. Pizza for the kids was done with thunder, lightening, POURING rain and hail. NICE! Told you the weather was crazy that day!

The boys started swimming lessons today. (and by today I mean Tues...in case your wondering why the date might be wrong...it's taken me a few days to get back here!) They're swimming at an outdoor pool and will be swimming every morning for 2 weeks now.

Later in the month we're hoping to go camping at Cultas Lake. Not much luck in getting a space since most are taken by reservations already but we'll see. Then after that for the BC long weekend, we're going to go and see Papa Chuck. The boys are really excited and it's especially cute to see how excited George gets around my dad. He was in town recently and also came to George's party and that was the first time we had all seen him in almost a year. So to someone who's only two years old, that's especially long!

I really will try and want to update more often. However it really isn't easy when you've got 2 very busy children and a toddler who gets quite "jealous", "curious" or "in need of a hug and won't let go" everytime your even near the computer!

So, on that note...that's it for now, while 2 are at Grandma's and 1 is napping, I'm going to try to head on over to update our photo album which is also in need of updating. Please excuse the mess with that too! Seriously working on it and hope to have it completely updated by week's end.
