We are pretty much the worst. Our schedule had gone through a major shift and it always takes me a few weeks to settle into a new one. The blog is something that slipped through the cracks.
Happy Memorial Day weekend! I always enjoy remembering what a great family we are a part of. We usually take the boys to the cemetery where Alex's grandparents are buried and Alex regales them with stories which is a fun tradition.
Peter has learned to do a back flip on the ground which is super fun. I ordered a gymnastics mat just to make myself feel better about all the crazy tricks the boys are doing lately as far as Ian's aerial silk stuff and all the flipping going on around here. His antics and super dramatic facial expressions keep Alex and I in stitches.
Jack won his last soccer game of the season. He played really well and is looking forward to some tournaments over the summer. He is also getting really good at Spikeball and plays as much as he can. Alex asked him to be his partner at an upcoming tournament which made Jack's day.
Ian has spent a lot of time working in the past few weeks. He was saving up for a really pricey camp put on by BYU Young Ambassadors in July. Happily, he earned the money he needed and is all registered and set to go. Yay! He did some farm work for a family friend while they were away, including bottle feeding a baby lamb twice a day. He is also working at a local boutique, Love at First Bite, where he has learned to run the cash register, decorate gourmet cupcakes, dispense fancy, infused olive oils, make Italian sodas, and all other kids of things. He comes home with some funny stories sometimes. There are weird people in this world.
Alex has been preoccupied creating his dream soccer/footbal/ultimate frisbee/spikeball field. The lights are coming this week and our backyard is a disaster zone right now. He had to dig a huge trench all around and through the yard to run electrical to the lights on the perimeter of the field which inevitably sliced through multiple sprinkler lines. So we have had a crew out here fixing those, and as soon as they think they have them fixed they find another broken one....or five.....In his spare time he plays Spikeball.
I'm gardening every spare minute I have and am in heaven. The kids' garden program is up and running again and has been going really well. The kids we have involved this year are really great and we have had a blast together.
Must run for scriptures and bedtime. See you soon!
