[Footnote: I am terrible at this!]

So, I didn't want to post the last two posting until I got the pictures and the video uploaded, unfortunately, I never have time to figure it out. I have no idea how to crop a DVD to show only my kids and I playing at the recital and I just never have enough time to blog at home. I do all my blogging at work in the middle of the night. Hence, I have decided to post them sans the visuals. I know they are flimsy excuses but there they are.

On to new things. The kids are as busy as ever. Ambrosia is playing soccer. She practices on Thursdays and plays on Saturdays. She is also busy preparing for the Oquirrah Mountain Temple Youth Celebration. The celebration is a huge dance and choir number celebrating South Jordan and the new temple. There will be 10,000 youth preforming. They practice weekly, and now more frequently, and will preforming for the prophet, Thomas S. Monson, on May 30th. She also has been busy with service projects organized by the Young Women. Jarron is playing Super League baseball this year. They practice daily for several hours and then he plays double hitters every Saturday. He has also been trying to keep up with his scouting and is working on his Weblos badge. Coleson is also playing soccer. Ron is coaching his team (a little side note: Ron didn't even know the rules to soccer before agreeing to coach. Pretty funny being the athlete and sports enthusiast that he is, but admirable for stepping in. He is a great dad!!!) They practice on Fridays and play on Tuesdays. Ryan is playing baseball and plays games whenever the league can fit them in, which happens to be on very random days. Ryan also graduated from preschool on Wednesday. He was so excited but when it came right down to it, he was too shy to sing. He sure was cute though!
Needless to say, piano is on hold for a few months, sleep is a rare commodity, meals are a much simpler affair and blogging is almost nonexistent. We are, however, enjoying (and I'm saying this with a touch of sarcasm), the spring weather in all it's variety-to the fullest extent. I planted 11 raspberry bushes and a lilac bush a couple of weeks ago and surprisingly enough, Princess has not tramped them and they are growing!!! Now if only our HOA doesn't inspect our yard and make me pull them. (Raspberries are not an approved plant and I didn't get permission to plant anything.) Cross your fingers, pray, whatever, I really, really, really want raspberries!!!

I don't know when I'll post again, hopefully when I have some action pictures of the kids to brag about. Keep checking back.
