.....OH MY AND WHERE DO I START????
I know some of you may be waiting for pictures of our family vacation but I honestly haven't had the time to get them on here. As you may know that nothing really slows down around especially when it comes to the kids dancing. Jay has been off with his friends family camping on the weekends and Kohl and Trinity are back to dance camp and with all this this exciting part of the dance year is that Trinity just started her solo this morning and already has half the choreography done and my goodness it is FAST! She will have her dance finished next Tuesday morning and will run through it again tomorrow at dance camp.
Check out the video of her after only one hour of class.....it still needs lots of work and cleaning up but she has 7 1/2 months until competition. This dance is a real challenge for Trinity as Kim her dance teacher (owner of dance school) choreographed her dance two dance levels higher than her class. She knows that Trinity is a hard worker and is working on the other levels at dance camp and can handle it. Hey get this the best part for me is that she will be reusing her dance costume from her duo (they won GOLD) a couple of years back with some changes!
this is fast....hope you can keep up lol!
I helped out in Kohl class on Friday. They spent a good part of their class time to make a get well card for a little friend who attended the Primary class. Little Austin fell out of a tree on Thursday and broke his arm and shoulder. Then I helped them all make a flip flop craft!
CLOSING BBQ
For most of my family you know how little Blake eats.... well that often leaves me wondering if he is getting enough nutrition. Sure he will eat a lot of treats but that isn't what I call eating. Last night I made tacos for supper and Blake ate 5 tacos and he was almost done his second before I finished my first. Now he doesn't put hamburger or chicken on his just the sauce and cheese but nevertheless he filled his stomach. Then for desert he had a bowl of strawberries and whipped cream before roasting marshmallows. I was shocked to see him eat so well and he was so proud of himself as well. I think he loved all the attention and fuss we were making over it. He was so funny that I took a video clip...check it out!
Matt found a $10 bill floating in the water....and I thought he was picking up more seaweed for the kids!
Even though everyone was FULL from the strawberry shortcakes they got right into roasting the marshmallows...
I think Trinity was on her first, (maybe second) when the flaming marshmallow fell onto her left hand :0( in shock she sat there and looked at it. Her hand was blistered quite bad but once we got it taken care of she still wanted to continue on with the evening.
While Matt was taking care of Trinity's hand the boys (kohl and Jay) headed into the pool where they acted goofy as ever while Blake of course played with the puppy ( no surprise there lol). We ended the night fairly early and got the kids cleaned up and in bed at a decend time. So that was our Saturday.
So that was our weekend and this week is full of excitement for the kids and lots of running around for us. They are going to Vacation Bible School just up the street from us. "God's Big Backyard" is the theme for this summer! Blake is having a great time and get this he stays without me :0( so you know what this means... a couple of hours without the kids! Oh what to do with myself????Do I ever feel lost. 
Tomorrow will be a little more crazy with getting Trinity to dance classes for 9:30am and the kids to the church for 9:30am and then Matt off to work for 10:00am. I guess I will have to take Trinity a bit early then back to the church, get the kids settled in there and Matt off to work, just to turn around to pick up the kids at 12:00 then Trinity at 2:30pm and Matt for supper at 4:00pm. Yep that will be a good part of my day! All I can say is that I am some glad that I don't have to pack the van for vacation until next week.
Jay is still away with his friend but should finally be back home sometime tomorrow. We have spent the last few days just sitting around here and enjoying the pool so yesterday after supper we took the kids to the beach. This beach is 15 minutes away and had lots of sand and quiet. The kids played in the water and cooled off. The sun was setting and black flies were starting to bite so we packed up and headed back home to the pool. Jay called last night but I had a hard time hearing him with the bad reception but he is having fun and doing a lot of swimming. I can't wait to see him tomorrow.
