Dana continues to love Casey's General Stores. Getting a little busier but still manageable. He brings no work home with him and we all like it that way! He is coaching Carson's t-ball team. Thinks he might be getting to old to be doing it! Ha! Says they wear his patience thin. Plus....they practice and have games on Tuesday and Friday's.....Abbey and Jordan have track meets on those days so he is missing alot of that. Says that maybe next year he will have to bow out so we can rotate who goes where. He is also coaching the Varsity Spring League team to help prepare our boys for Baseball season. Dana and I both pulled an all nighter for After Prom last weekend! It was fun watching the kids have a blast. Recovery was very difficult for us older folks!!
I am trying to keep the bus moving forward. Lots of people going lots of different directions. Try to plan meals or at least sack lunches so we don't spend all of our time eating concession stand meals. I had Dana and Jordan move my treadmill from the basement to our bedroom. Now it actually gets used. I figured I needed something to counter the effects of the poor diet and the constant state of bleacher butt I seem to have. The daycare kids keep me busy during the day and we are all thankful for the nicer weather. Working on stuff for a garage sale next weekend. I do my best work under pressure.
Jordan has been very busy! Between school, track, and spring ball we don't see much of him. Track is going really well and he has high hopes of going to state with the 4x400 team and maybe the 4x800 team. Have had a few meets canceled due to weather. He is working hard on his pitching. He has really worked on his curve ball and it has come a long way from last year! He and Kelli still do everything together. I am not sure anything has really changed except the fact that they don't label what their relationship is. They went to prom last week and looked so cute together. Jordan is also preparing for his job with Parks and Rec this summer. He loved it during Spring Break. "I get paid to play, Mom!"
Abbey is out for track and does well in the distance runs. She mostly does the 1500 and the 800. Occasionally they will throw her a 100 to keep her on her toes! She sang in a trio for contests and played a clarinet solo as well. Both receiving a 1 rating! She is in the Middle School musical. They are doing Beauty and the Beast and she has 3 different roles. The Enchantress, a napkin, and a villager. The 8th graders get most of the lead roles. She is patiently waiting for next year! She has also been preparing for Softball which will start after school is out. They have been having some early morning skills sessions that she has been attending. For fun she reads a ton!
Carson just got finished hatching chicks in kindergarten. He would come home everyday with a new story about candling or how many eggs have holes in them, and finally how many chicks hatched that day. I think he is having fun playing t-ball. Dana says he talks alot! Wonder where he gets that? : ) He is really into Ben 10 right now and loves to have Cole come over so they can play his Ben 10 Wii game together.
Emma continues to be along for the ride. She goes wherever she is told and as long as she has food and something girly to do will not complain. No activities for her yet. I need to find something like gymnastics or tumbling for her but am not sure we can even squeeze it in right now.
Looking forward to boating season! Dana brought the batteries home yesterday to charge them up. Hope to be racing up and down Saylorville as soon as we can! Will do better at posting. Thanks for checking up on us!
Enjoy some pictures and a Prom montage!
