{Still Busy}

I was really hoping once we got back to school and into the swing of things, life would slow down a bit. Well, guess what? It hasn't, actually I think it's been busier? Between homework and everything else we have going, it's been crazy round here.

I spent one day last week canning V8 juice. We don't drink it, but I use it in two or three recipes and everything I did last year is gone. I got 6 quarts and 9 pints and I really should do more.

Flag football season started for Brock a few weeks ago. That means two practices and a game each week. He is also taking tumbling, Karate and we have to fit scouts into the schedule too!

Carlie started tumbling a few weeks ago too, in fact all 3 kids go, but this is her first year. We had her signed up for the summer class, but she ended up with a broken arm the day she was supposed to start, so she had to wait. It's so cute to watch her, and she is LOVING it!

Our 15 year class reunion! Yea, that's one thing I'm glad to have over! I thought it turned out really well. It's always fun to visit with old friends and see what everyone is up to. Derrick has a group of his guys friends that he's stayed in touch with and we get together every now and then, so it's fun know their wives, and get to visit with them. Also, my brother-in-law graduated with us too, so my sister gets to come to my reunion. I hope everyone else had a good time!

It was pajama day in Mrs. Monroes class! Kaleb's class got enough points for good behavior to earn pajama day, and let me tell you he was one excited boy! He decided to take his stuffed puppy for show and tell to go along with the theme. He told me he wanted to wear the jammies Grandma Jeannie made him, but they didn't have sleeves and weren't allowed, darn it.... so he settled for his transformer ones, and looked pretty adorable, I thought!

We've been so busy, we haven't had time to play, but finally we found time to spend an afternoon at the lake this weekend. The kids had a blast exploring the rocks, caves and catching some pretty big lizards with dad, while mom enjoyed relaxing on the boat with a book.

Brock, Carlie and Derrick even swam a bit. Kaleb and I decided the water was a bit too cold, and were smart and stayed on the boat!

On top of all that, I've got preschool (which is still going well), I'm tending my niece, Tylie, 4 days a week and training to be our little towns planning and zoning secretary (a job which will only be a few hours a month), oh and trying to get ready for our Primary program.

I have a feeling life isn't going to really ever slow down, but that's ok!
