2 more days

School is almost out and the kids are excited. Parker is pretty much done. I don't think he will be going to school tomorrow or Friday. Caleb and Kailei both have fun days scheduled so they want to go. I just can't believe it is already summer break. School just started, or atleast it seems like it.
Caleb had a great baseball game tonight. His team lost but he pitched and did a great job at it. Also, he made 2 excellent catches, one in center field and one as pitcher. Parker has a game tomorrow night! We love baseball season....

I am old....

By the way, I forgot to mention that I am now a mother of a TEENAGER.....Yikes... He celebrated with his friends last friday since he was out of school. They went to a kids place called ITZ. I am very proud of Parker. He is a great kid, I couldn't ask for a better helper. So, for those of you who are around Parker, just remember that he is a teenager and I am sure he will give you a little SASS......

What day is it?

I think my mind is on overload. Joe and I were invited to an Italian dinner at the Bender's house tonight and we were sitting there and it was 9:30pm and I said we needed to get home because the kids needed to be in bed to get up for school tomorrow. I had to take a nap this afternoon because I am so exhausted. We had 3 baseball games this week. Parker is doing very well, he plays for the Astros! They have only 1 loss, it happened when Parker wasn't there. Caleb is still going to gymnastics 3 times a week, unless he has a baseball game on his gym night. He is such a good athlete. He puts too much pressure on himself. His team lost tonight 9 to 11. They were winning until the last inning. His team had too many errors. He plays for the Diamondbacks. I have fun watching the boys play baseball. I have only watched one full game for each boy because I am usually Field Monitor or Concession Monitor. I felt like I needed to get on the Little League board and now I am in charge of buying the stuff for the concession. It is easy when I stay on top of it, but sometimes I get too busy with other things. The girls are troopers and love to go to the boys games because they have lots of friends there. Presley was asleep when we got to the field so I put her in my baby backpack and she slept for at least an hour, she is so good. This week was a busy but good week. Kailei and Payton went to gymnastics twice this week, as well. Everyone seems to be ready for school to be out. I will post some pictures after Mother's Day.

Almost time

Our house is almost ready to put up for SALE, and I am scared to death that it won't sell and we will be stuck. Our goal is to be out in Edgewood by the time school starts next year. I will have an 8th grader, a 4th grader, a 2nd grader and a kindergartener. YIKES!!! Speaking of 8th grader, Parker will be 13 in 2 weeks....I am feeling old. I am grateful for Parker. He is such a great kid. He is starting to get attitude but he still helps me with all the kids. It is nice to have him around to watch the kids so I can have time to myself to go grocery shopping. I hate taking the kids with me to the store. They are the worst. I hate to grocery shop anyway.

We had a very busy Saturday, like usual. I had to work in the concession for baseball from 7am until 10:30am. Caleb had a baseball game from 8am to 10am so it was nice to watch him. He actually got to pitch for his first time and he struck out 3 people. He has a very fast pitch but a little out of control at times. Joe is going to work with him on pitching. We then went to Kailei's gymnastics practice from 11:30-1:15pm. Then we drove to Corrales to take Kailei and Payton to a friends birthday party. Caleb, Presley and I went to the park while the girls were at the party. It was a nice day and it was fun to watch Caleb play with Presley. After the party we went home and cleaned up the house for about 40 minutes. I then went, by myself, to pick Sandi up at the airport and she dropped me off at UNM for my 3 volleyball games. I played from 6:40pm until 11:30pm. So, to say the least I was exhausted by the time I got home.

Yes, we made it to church at 9am, well 9:05am, they were singing when we walked in. Before church I cut both boys hair and fixed all my girls hair. I even had time for my hair, I didn't have to wear it up. I am thankful for my family and for the support of my husband with all the activities that I am in as well as the kids.

Where have we been?

We have been here just really BUSY. Baseball season has started and both boys have games and practice, plus I am in charge of the concession so I am shopping once a week for that. We still do gymnastics, which Kailei has made the Level 4 team! YIKES!!! Do I really want to keep my kids in gymnastics?!?!? We are also busy getting our house ready to put up for sale. Yes, it is about that time. Decluttering isn't fun, I just want to throw everything in the garbage and then start over when we move. The house is looking really nice, though. I will try and get some pictures on my blog.

Regionals

Well, we have had a busy couple of weeks and I haven't posted. Caleb made it to regionalS for gymnastics so we are headed to Colorado Springs April 4th. We are going to miss opening ceremonies for baseball for Caleb and Parker but that is ok. Not really missing anything. I have been a cleaning fool the last couple of days. Thursday, I cleaned out the shed next to our house and organized all the clothes that we have stored out there. It was nice that my sister came down to help me. All the bins are labeled now so I know what is in each bin. It took us 3 1/2 hours to complete that. I was getting a headache but I wasn't done yet. I then went to Joe's office and helped him clean off his desk. It was ATROCIOUS.... That took us another 3 hours.....Then today I decided to clean out the garage and get it organized. YIKES.....Enough cleaning already. Caleb is having the boys from his gymnastics team spend the night tonight, that would be 5 extra boys in my house. What was I thinking??? That is why I am in here blogging, to get away...What else?!? Kailei has tryouts tomorrow for Level 4 gymnastics team. We will see how she does. Do I really want another competing gymnast??

Tagged

I was tagged to post my 6th picture in my 6th folder. Since I don't have a lot of pictures on this laptop here is the picture.

This is Presley, when she was 1 years old, trying on the Darth Vador Helmet. She seemed to always put it on backwards but we laughed at her. Now, the next 6 people I tag are Dacia, Britney, Traci, Tami, Cheryl and Leah. Good Luck ladies, I will check out your blog and see who followed directions.
