Well, we managed to have 2 of the 3 ball games this week. One of our sons got canceled due to rain and the following night was our daughters game. It was a bit chilly and quite muddy and they lost 17-0 but it was still a lot of fun. Then on Thursday night it was our oldest sons turn and it was really chilly that night and they lost too, but they had a great time and we loved being there. Friday my hubby got a photography job and was taking pictures of choirs, he had a blast doing it. That night we had the girls Girl Scout bridging ceremony. It was great to see our daughters move from Daisy to Brownie and the other one Brownie to Junior Girl Scout. Then our oldest daughter had a sleepover with her troop. This morning was the continuation of hubbies photography job of more choirs and I went along to help. It was a lot of fun to set the kids up and to see their funny pictures that they came up with. I am finally home to do some packing! Or at the very least organizing so that I can get a lot packed up!!
This coming Thursday a girlfriend of ours is coming into town. We are going to be taking her bridal pictures for her and we are really looking forward to seeing her and spending time with her. She is coming in from Colorado and will be with us til Sunday. We have been really busy with all the activities that we have going on that I do not know when I am going to get all this packing and moving stuff done! Not that I am complaining, cuz truly I am a very happy that our girlfriend is coming to town. Now if only my house would magically pack itself!
Luckily a bunch of my brothers friends are willing to help us move. They are a good bunch of guys and I am glad that they are willing to help out. They are happy at the thought of pizza galore.
In other news, my brother, mother and grandma are off to Korea in June. Since we are moving to a new house, I thought that was way more important than me visiting Korea this time so I am not going to go. They are going for 16 days and my mom moved the date up since her dad is doing badly. She did not pick good timing, but she rarely thinks of anyone but herself. My brother graduates from high school at the end of May and starts college in the Fall. There is a lot more to this story, but nothing I really care to share right now. Ok, well the kids are driving me nuts so time to get them to wind down and get ready for bed.

I have considered posting a few times, but then got to thinking about everything else that needed to be done and decided to do those other things. Things have been really hectic around here and I have been really busy, plus sick to boot.
I was on that cortiosteroid for my poison ivy and it said that my immune system would be down, well the hubby had a head cold and decided to SHARE IT WITH ME!!! So I ended up with a nasty head cold and finally about over it!
We had Girl Scouts April Showers over the weekend, it went really well. The girls collected over 2000 items for the local food pantry and had a lot of fun collecting it all and marking out the bar codes and separating it all out. There were only a few disgusting items, like USED deodarant, and opened toothpaste and floss, but luckily we did not get any used toothbrushes!! I managed to get in about 8 hours of scrapbooking and got 20 pages done.
I went to a baby shower for one of my girlfriends on Sunday and we had a great time. Her hubby is someone I have known all my life and he is a major sports freak so they got a ton of sporty stuff for their baby. Luckily its a boy :o) I had a blast shopping for the baby and have to admit that sooo many things have changed since I have had a baby!! I got the cutest Rams windbreaker outfit that should fit the baby this fall. Plus other stuff that was on her registry. It was great to sit and talk to everyone and do the "remember when" stuff.
This week is an extremely busy one. We have 3 ball games this week and a wedding to go to on Saturday. Plus, we have packing... yes, I said packing! We have been at our current location for 5 years and have decided that it is time to move. We are going to finish out the school year here and then move! We got a 4 bedroom ranch and I am sooo excited!! We have been living in a split level and I have really started hating it!!! I hate walking in the door and having to walk up steps. So we finally found a ranch that only has stairs to the basement :o) Plus the kitchen is a dream. Its not THE perfect kitchen, but its damn close!! I don't know if I will ever be able to afford my dream kitchen :o) Considering the houses I have seen it in is 300,000+ lol. Yeah, I have expensive taste! I am really excited about moving and cannot wait to move!
I am sure there is a bunch of other stuff to say, but I don't have time right now!

My weekly update! Saturday was a really really busy day!! My younger daughter had a field trip to one of the local police departments and it was a lot of fun for the girls. Both of the Daisy groups went so there were 11 5-6 yr old there. They got a tour of the police department and got to see the dispatch area and got to meet one of the K-9s that they have. The lady officer even had her Sergeant put the "arm" on so that they could see the dog in action. It was neat for the girls to learn all the different things that go on and they all had a ton of questions. Us mommies even learned a thing or 2. That police department has 4 K-9s, one of them is a bomb dog and the other 3 are for drugs.
After our field trip to the police department we met up with the rest of the family and got the kids hair cut, my older daughter decided that she wanted to get highlights so we did that and I got 6 inches cut off my hair. My older daughter also had softball practice so we did that and then our younger daughter had a birthday party to go to so we did that. It was a bowling party and she was oh so unhappy about the shoes and refused to bowl til her daddy put the shoes on and she finally played and ended up having a great time. Then to top it all off we ran home grabbed clothes for the kids and headed out to take pictures of the kiddos. We got about 200 great pictures of the kids. Individual pics of the kids and then group pics. All in all it made for a very long day!!!
Sunday we took the kids to my parents and they watched them so that hubby and I could take my brother out and about to do his pictures. He asked hubby to do his Senior pictures instead of paying someplace a buttload of $$ to do it. So we went to several different parks and to the Arch to get some shots. Hubby took almost 200 pictures of him out and about and most of them turned out awesome. Hubby also did about 200 indoor pics so he will have a few to choose from! That was an all day event and was a lot of fun.
Monday was our daughters first softball game and they WON!!!! It was a beautiful night for a game and she had a great time! Then after every game the girls get to have slurpees, which I think was more exciting to the girls than winning the game!! They need some work on their outfielding but they did a great job and we were proud of all the girls.
Tuesday we did some running around. Wednesday our oldest had baseball practice and they all got their uniforms!!! They are the Blue Devils! :o) It got really cold yesterday and practice was even colder! They have their first game tonight at 8:15, which is pretty late, luckily the kids do not have school tomorrow! But it is going to be a frigid night so I am not sure how long I am going to stay since all the kids are going.
Friday is going to be a busy day too, the kids are on Spring break so we will probably go to the library and who knows where else. Saturday we have softball practice and then going to my parents for dinner and a birthday party for my grandma. Sunday is Easter and we are going to my aunt's to celebrate together. That is about the extent of my existence! Kids, kids and more kids! I have been working with my dad, but we have been really busy so time seems to fly.
I hope that everyone has a great Easter! :o)
