Well as you can see, I am not very good atbout keeping up to date. Sorry about that. I will have to try and do this weekly, as so much happens around here, it takes a while when I wait this long.

The school year was a blur. We made to Phoenix again for Christmas and had a wonderful time. The kids were pretty bummed that the Aussie crew wasn't around, but we managed to have a good time. We took in the Zoo lights this year and had Christmas Eve at Brian and Kari's. All in all a great trip.

Spring break took us to the condo. This was the first time since November of 1995, yes 1995, that we have been out. The kids were so psyched to go skiing and they did a fabulous job. Weather was super! Record snowfall and Copper was fantastic. We have made it a goal to head out at least once a year from now on, hopefully more.

My mom and I made trip to San Diego in March to see my great uncle Bill. He is 88 and living alone. We had a wonderful visit and hope to make it back out in July with the kids. In April Alan made a surprise visit back to Phoenix for Marylyn's 75th birthday. They had a lovely visit.

April also brought the start of softball. this was Kennedy's second year and she continues to enjoy the game. It was a little frustrating at the beginning of the season, as we didn't exactly have a winning streak going. They ended the season coming in second. Overall they had a good year and she gained more skills as a player.

Holden decided baseball wasn't for him this year, and secretly I was glad. The league is a little too politically correct for me. Sorry but I don't think you pitch to a kid until he hits the ball. I believe the rules are three strikes your out., Three outs, your done. Games were lasting an hour + and it was we never made it out of the 1st inning. Anyway, Holden was bored and decided to give golf a go. So far he loves it and Alan says he is doing super! Watch out Tiger.

Well summer has begun. We had one week of no action, then camps began. Kennedy started out with Basketball camp at school. Then we moved onto to All-City Band Camp, which lasts for two weeks. We have one week down and one to go. While Kennedy was at band camp, Holden went to Drake Basketball Camp, which he absolutely loves! Needless to say this past week has been drop one off, pickup the other. I haven't seen much of anything but the inside of my van.

Next week doesn't get any better. Band camp during the day Vacation Bible School at night. Since Kennedy has moved into the Jr. High at church, (yes Jr. High augh!) she will be helping this year. She is very excited. She and some of her friends are working in the preschool room. Let's see if her recent babysirtting course paid off!
The last week of June Kennedy will be at Living History Farm. She continues to have this as numero uno ont he camp list.

Brian arrived today, as he is in town for his 25th class reunion. I haven't seen him yet, as we missed each other while I was picking up kids. Alan played today in the Annual City Tournament and shot an 80. He was very please with his results. Go Alan!

Well dinner calls. I will post more later as my sister-in-law was checking in and I didn't have anything new to read! Sorry Tam.
