Better late than Never

1. Behind again! I will start with the past and move forward.
In March Broc and I did IFly. This was the first time I had ever done it, and the third time for Broc. He is becoming a pro and me, well I liked it but couldn't breath very well and this may be embarrassing but I had my mouth open because I was smiling and spit came out. So word to wise if you are going to do IFly KEEP YOUR MOUTH CLOSED. Otherwise the instructor may get spit in his face!
2. Easter- Broc usually gets an outfit to wear on Easter Sunday and when we went to go look around we walked into Crazy 8's and he pointed to this outfit and said, "mom that will do, I will look like a little man in that. I want that one." And we were done! The quickest clothes shopping adventure ever! And he did look like a little handsome man! This year we went to the city Easter Egg hunt and he scored big as usual. Of course it isnt hard to get a ton of candy when it is just thrown all over the baseball fields. On Sunday we went over to Kris's sisters for a BBQ and Easter egg hunt. Normally there are 16 grand kids but only Broc and my sister in laws daughter were there, so they each had over 65 eggs full of candy. I think we will be taking it over to our Bishop so he can put it in his candy jar!
3. I got a new calling, I am now the Relief Society President. I know what you are thinking, holy crap you are too young. I thought so too! I told the Bishop I shouldn't because sometimes I do my laundry on Sunday and I still drink Dr. Pepper. But that wasn't a good enough excuse. I really enjoy serving so far and have felt overwhelmed at times, but have truly been blessed with amazing counselors, support from my husband and most importantly my Heavenly Father.
4. In April we went to St. George, it was perfect weather! The weather at home was cold and rainy, but down there it was 88 one day and 92 the next! Broc wanted his cousin Taylor to come, which was nice because we get a little boring sometimes to play with apparently. We went and played mini golf, raced cars and bumper boats, then spent the rest of the time in the pool. We even got sunburned. Kris taught Broc and Taylor to dive after rings, they still haven't mastered it but got pretty good at it. By the time we came home it was raining and very cold. I was ready to turn around and head back!
5. Broc finally had a field trip for school. They walked to the fire department. Three weeks before they went they practiced walking around the school for exercise to get them used to walking the distance. They did really well walking that far. They got to see the inside of all the fire trucks and wear the firefighter jacket and watched them slide down the poll, they also went outside to watch how far they can shoot the water. Thanks to the fire department for letting them come.
6. T-Ball started. Kris is the coach again with the help of one of Broc's friends dad. I told him I didn't want to do it again because I wanted to watch. Their first game was Monday and it was hard for me to sit and not try to help. Something I need to learn. This year they want to start them coach pitching, I was a little nervous about that but Broc did really well. I think it is in a movie where the kid is trying so hard to hit the ball without the T and he ends up having to use the T. He gets made fun of and is traumatized his entire life because of that. I think of that every time. LOL it cracks me up.
7. This Saturday I am running the Susan G. Koman race for the cure for the third time. I love this run! To see the sea of pink that goes on for miles is an amazing sight. This year my dad is running it with me, he has become quite the runner. I am so excited to share this experience with him. I want to thank the couple people who have sponsored me and given of their funds and love on my behalf! I also have a 5K I am running with Kristin and the Ogden 5K in two weeks. I am going to all warn out! If that is possible. Hopefully my knees can hold up!
8. Kris is going to Scotland here soon to go golfing with his brothers and dad. What an amazing opportunity! I was going to go but well it is pretty pricey! So Broc and I will just have to go to Disneyland. That is much cheaper. We are looking for anyone who wants to go with us! And trust me when I say I am the best person to go to Disneyland with. If you are wanting to go call me and I will tell you when!
7. Cant wait for school to be out, mostly so I dont have to wake up to early! JK wait no i am not, I can sleep in till 7:30 or run at 7 and be ready for the day by 9. That would be great. And not to mention I am so ready for warmer weather! I think we all are.
I know many of you dont like to watch those silly little slide shows but it takes to long to download all the pics on here, and it messes up my writing. Hope everyone is doing well and having a great year so far.
