Busy Busy Busy!!!

Ok - the last 2 months have been ultra crazy!! I have been to every little part of the state as well as I just got back from a fabulous (but quick) business trip to Montana. I can now breath! This time of year is really hard because of all the trainings and conferences that happen to hit all at the same time - as well as my yearly grant report. Seriously - I would really be ok with spreading things out a bit - sheesh!! Anyway, kids are doing well - Mattie has 2 teeth. They literally came up overnight. Maybe our "drool fest" will be on hold for awhile since her teeth have come in. We will see - I do seem to remember though, from past experiences, that some teeth do mean more teeth are coming - aghhhh!! Oh well - she is still so dang cute that it makes no difference anyway.

Well - Thomas has officially finished Kindergarten!!! Yeah - we made it. I can't say it was an easy year, but seeing the awesome changes Thomas has made makes the challenges worth every minute. He is matured so much and the fact that he is reading is soooo cool. He is such a smart kid!!! He is very ready for first grade - and was very ready to start yesterday. I had to be the bearer of bad news and tell him that he would have to wait for a few months to move on to another grade. He was not to happy about that but forgave me quickly when I gave him his new X-Box game (Lego Star Wars - HATE IT!!!). He was thrilled to have it - I have to say that I really can't stand it - it gives me a headache. Oh well - as long as he is happy I don't really care.

Kate is my newest fashion Diva. She has a comment for everyone's clothes. She will proudly tell you if she thinks what you are wearing is "icky" - If she didn't look so much like me I would wonder if she was really my child!! She is a priss - but a dang cute one!!! Her grandma Bonnie gave her the cutest flip flops (from Smiths marketplace - on sale for $3.00 - for all those interested) and she squealed like I have never heard before. She wore them all evening and I finally had to sneak them off her feet after she fell asleep. Crazy!!

Life is good - Andrew and I are proud parents of practically perfect children - what more could you ask for!!!!
