Who knew that with five kids life could be hectic. I have felt lately that there has been no down time and a lot of running around and going places all the time. I guess that is what happens as kids get older and get more involved.
Paige had a play at school a few weeks ago. It was about the solar system. She had a really small part but she really practiced hard and did a good job. Then she graduated from DARE at school. They take a class and then had to write a paper and then they have a graduation. It is a big deal around here. She also had a choir concert. That is just one kid and I felt like we were going somewhere every night. I can't believe how grown up she is getting and she is turning into such a beautiful young woman. We are so proud of her.
(Of course the only picture from the play happens to be a little dark. My pictures never turn out in the school gyms.)
A couple of weeks ago I finally convinced Kayla to get her hair cut. Every morning I battle with her on her hair. She has so many snarls and she screams at me when I comb it and all she wants in it is a ponytail. I was tired of it. After a few months of convincing she decided she was ready. So we went and did it right away. The finished result is super cute and less snarly. The only downfall is we have a have a little extra time to straighten it every morning, but to me it is worth it.
The girls and I were able to go to Salt Lake a about four weeks ago to see my niece in a tumbling competition. We had a fun time and did a little shopping. Kayla's favorite part was swimming at the hotel. My niece did awesome and it was fun to spend some time with my sister and her family.
The three little girlies watching the meet.
The boys have all been sick with the flu over the last week and a half. Aiden got it first and after the three days of being sick, Collin woke up in the night sick. Then three days later when I thought we were home free Brock got sick. It has taken Brock almost 5 days to recover, and I think we are finally finished with all the sickness. It was a long week and a half but I survived.
Spring is upon us and I am so glad. I don't know who is more stir crazy, me or the kids. I am so ready for some nice weather so the kids can get outside to play.
