I Love My Busy Life

Life has been crazy busy as usual but I am trying to get caught up with my blog. Dance is getting busier with the recital coming up. Jett is growing up so fast. Eating solid food and scooting around like crazy. He loves to pick up all the little things he finds on the ground and put it in his mouth. We have to watch that sneaky little guy. Still no teeth but maybe soon? He is sick AGAIN with a cold...each time he has gotten sick I think it's because of a tooth but not yet!
Kaiya had her birthday party last Friday night and it was a huge success! She had a blast! I will be posting about it later.
This week is going to be nuts. We have dance pictures which means I have to do Kaiya's hair and make up on Monday and Tuesday...Ella's on Wednesday and then Kaiya's again on Thursday. Wahhhh!!! Then Friday we are going out of town for some fun! I am looking forward to that!
Hmmm what else. Ava comes into town next month for her birthday. She will stay a week! School is almost out which is nice! Actually, bitter sweet since Kaiya wont be at Lea Hill next year and will be at home. I am getting more nervous but still think it is for the best for sure. I have heard that they are taking PE and Music out of schools. That's crazy. Also, when I was a kid I remember doing art in school. I had a lot of fun learning different types of art. It occured to me the other day that Kaiya never brings home art projects and I asked her about it. She said that they do art maybe once every few months. That's again...crazy!! Kids need that stuff.
Cirdan's business is going great!! He just bought another truck so he now has 5. The surgeon that performed Jett's surgery on his tummy called about a week ago and wants Puget Sound Moving to move him to Vermont. He doesn't want his stuff put on a semi with a handful of other people's stuff so one of Cirdan's drivers will take the shipment and then fly home. It will be an expensive move for the surgeon but Cirdan made an impression on him and he remembered to call him when he was moving! The move will take place this next weekend.
My friend Sandy moved to Covington. She is close now and it's nice to have a wonderful friend so close! We have been having a blast! She is pregnant...going to have a boy in August. Can't wait to meet him!

Well, I am going to go to bed. Have lots to do tomorrow!

Mothers Day

Kaiya didn't go to school the Friday before Mother's Day so I had to wait for my gift until Monday after school. It was worth the wait!
The necklace said...
My mom said she loves me and she also loves my sisters and brother to. I am so lucky to be loved by my mom!
My mom loves me and she loves to eat salmon
I love my mom because she always supports me
One time I lied and my mom still loved me

Queen for the Day - Sue's 60th

Sue turned 60 on May 6th. The kids and Richard threw a surprise birthday party for her. We had been in Spokane for Easter a couple weeks earlier but we couldn't miss her birthday.

We drove over on Friday in time to get to the party at 6:00. The party was held at Twigs: a restaurant in Spokane. Sue was so surprised and had no idea that she was going to spend her birthday with a lot of friends and family. Some she hadn't seen for many, many years. The friends drove from Utah and others from Western Washington. Her mother, brother, sister in law and nephew came up from Utah. Emily also was there from Portland with Sue's 2 favorite cousins.
