Three month catch-up

I have been quite the slacker with this blog and although I don't think anyone else reads my blog, I really wanted this to be a journal-like idea to keep things documented. So this is the last couple of months in a nut shell.

MARCH I have no pictures but this month was a very hard month. Dave had his back go out and was down for most of the month. Actually we decided it was most of February and March. What a nightmare! He had cortizone shots and many trips to the chiropractor. Luckily no surgery!! After we thought his back was on the mend, his knee swelled up so big and he could hardly walk. We could not figure out what the cause was. He finally went a had his knee drained and yet another cortizone shot and hasn't had a problem since. As Dave and I look back on these few months, we knew that the forces of the universe were against us trying to beat us down but...We are fighters! We have learned that together we can get through anything!

April
The older kids started spring sports. Zach and Caleb ran track and Kelsie tried tennis this year. I was a fabulous mom and got NO pictures of Kelsie playing tennis but she liked it so much she is going to play next year. Zach and Caleb both ran the distance races in track. It still is amazing to me the strength of the boys to run so much! I am so proud of them! They were continually beating their personal records each track meet. The end of April Was "Time Out For Women" here is Spokane and I had all my sisters, sis-in-laws and my mom come to visit. It was such a great weekend! We laughed and cried and laughed some more! I realized how strong the women of my family are and especailly what a wonderful bond we have when we are together!





MAY
May was a very busy month! I had my Spring piano recital.I am at 17 students at this recital. I love teaching and I felt all my students did amazing! I was so proud!


Zach went to his first prom. He was so handsome in his tuxedo and actually looked too grown up for me!





Last but not least I actually have a few pictures of the boys at the district track meet. They both did an amazing job. Caleb and Zach both ran the 1600 and the 3200. Caleb's times 5:14 (1600) 11:03 (3200) Zach's times 4:58 (1600) 10:52 (3200)

I also read your blog. It is great to see how things are going up there in Spokane. We sure miss seeing you guys!
I envy the close relationship that you have with your sisters. Looks like SO much fun! (I guess I needed more sisters)

I read your blog too! It's the only contact I have really had with you in a while. Speaking of, I am in SLC and wanted to come see everyone. I will call. My newborn at the last reunion just turned 6. I think it's time!
