Two More...

I was looking through Linda's baptsim pics today and here's the last two that I like but that aren't going to make it up on my wall.

 I like the yellow in this first one.

 I saw this one on Pinterest and had to try it out. It's not my favorite, but still cute. It's her blessing dress on the clothes line.

Our Life Right Now...

Robert traded in his every other Friday off schedule for getting an extra 30min. of sleep in the mornings(up at 5, instead of 4:30) and getting home around 3:45. It’s awesome that’s he’s home so early.  He’s so happy that the rec soccer season is finally over. Coaching two teams was a lot. Both competitive coaches now want him to be their assistant.

I feel like I’ve hit my stride in my calling. I’ve learned to LOVE texting.  Seriously,  one group text instead of 15 phone calls. Yes, please.  Camp coming soon. Priest/Laurel  prom this weekend.   Tonight we’re having a self defense class.  Learning more than I ever thought possible in this calling. My girls love the YW. Here they are with their friend Sienna.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bruce is doing great in chess club and hopes to qualify for the upcoming tournament. He loves soccer still. He loves exercise. He comes home excited to tell me with a smile on his face, “We did conditioning the entire practice!”  Working on a lot of school projects.  He’s really starting to look like he’s old enough  to be a 5^th grader now.

Linda finished up a swim class. She started an art class this week. She likes it so far. She continues to love to sing, be the teacher to the little girls, and has made friends with some little girls on our street.  She likes to write poems and songs and read. She’s a sensitive girl.

Jane started her competitive soccer team. She loves that she is in soccer “just like Bruce”. She loves rollerblading and it turns out that a house with wood floors is great for that. We had a scare with her when I took her to the Dr. a couple of weeks ago. There was sugar in her urine and the Dr. was really nervous that she might have Diabetes. I was absolutely sick. Blood tests came back with normal blood sugar levels. Phew! She has a follow up appointment tomorrow.

Claire crossed the monkey bars by herself for the first time today.  She is reading some 2 and 3 letter words and is ready for Kindergarten in the fall. She’ll go in afternoons. She is not a morning person…just like her mother.  She really looks up to Linda.  She is so social and full of life.  

Bye Bye Braces!

AFTER!!

School Pictures

 

Spring Break 2013

We made the most of the Spring Break this year. Robert took off three days and had a fourth day off to spend with us. We went to a couple of movies at the theatre, went to the Wild Animal Park, the zoo, relaxed at the house, hiking, and more. Here are a few pictures.

Claire was the best tour guide.

 

Anniversary Vacation

Last year we went out of town for a few days but this year Robert and I just did a 24hr. get away to downtown San Diego. It was really nice. We stayed at a nice hotel with a great view of the city and marina.

We did a lot of walking. We first walked to Anthony's Fish Grotto. In this first picture you can see where we were when we got engaged.

Back when we got engaged, there was a sign hanging off the fence on the very back of this restaurant that said, "KaDee, Will You Marry Me?" We pulled up in the boat we were in and I saw it. Robert got on one knee in the boat and asked me to marry him. We parked the boat right where this one in the pic is parked and ate at the restaurant with his parents.

After lunch we went whale watching. We saw 3 gray whales!! It was pretty neat. We weren't able to get a picture of the whales. We had a nice boat ride. We went about 9 miles out which is the furthest out I've ever been on the ocean.

 

Those are the main highlights. It was nice to have a 24hr. date with Robert.
