Time must fly by because I didn't realize I hadn't typed anything for about a month! With all 3 kids in baseball/softball life has been a little crazy! The first week of April we went to Arkansas and had a great visit with my mom for a few days. She also threw a birthday party at Chuck E Cheese for Mikayla while we were there. Mikayla turned 7 (speaking of time flying)! Then we traveled a little north to see Isaac's sister, Aria and family. We had a fabulous time seeing them for just a short time (long enough for dinner), and went to a rib place that had the largest ribs we've ever seen. Their little boy is so full of energy. My mother-in-law says he's just like Isaac was when he was little. That same evening we drove to Isaac's mom's house. We had a wonderful visit there as well. Isaac's stepsister brought her little girls up to play with our girls for an afternoon, and one of my best friend's from college brought up her little girls to visit with us for an evening. It was just great to visit with everyone.
The rest of April is somewhat of a blur of baseball/softball, Isaac's drill weekends, roadshow practices for Jacob, me still being Primary president.....wow life is crazy busy.
I find myself missing Maureen a lot. Our lives are pretty busy and we dont' get to talk as frequently as we used to. I told Isaac that I need a friend, a girl friend in him...LOL! It's easier to talk to her during a commute, however, with gas prices, Isaac and I have been carpooling together. So I really enjoy visiting with him, which results in not talking with Maureen. It's somewhat of a double-edged sword!
Anyway, yesterday was Erica's birthday. We made it very special for her. I can't remember the last time we broke the Sabbath day and purchased something on a Sunday....but we did yesterday. With bowling, baseball, softball, roadshow practice, roadshow performance, roadshow cast party....Saturday was a little full. So Sunday, we did our traditional donuts for breakfast. Then we went to church, but left early. We took the family to see Chimpanzee (a Disney documentary), then to Bugaboo Creek for dinner (Erica's choice). we got home about 8:30 and the kids headed to bed!
We tried to postpone birthday celebrating to this week, however, we have 4 nights of baseball/softball practices and games and church on the 5th night.
So.... off to be busy! I know I will miss it when the kids grow up!
