FINALLY... Spring Break

I can not begin to tell you all how excited I am for spring break. You might be thinking, "Oh! She must be going some where warm and wonderful." but, you would be wrong. I'm just so happy for the break from homework, getting up early, dance lessons, preschool, and running every direction under the sun. I know that you are thinking I forgot to say basketball, but I'm afraid that's the one thing that will still continue over our long awaited break. Kaden has a ball game in the middle of the week.

I'm not posting any pictures this morning, because we have a ball game to be to, and I don't have time, but we do have several things that are photo/blog worthy, but they will all have to wait. I mostly just wanted everyone to know that busy as we are, we are alive. Jody just got back last night from a week in Pennsylvania where he had training meetings for work. He had a good time, but he was as happy to be home as we were to have him back. Danica had a fever almost everyday that he was gone, so we didn't sleep really well. Kaden also had to different tournaments going on starting Thursday, so we have done a lot of running.

Now, if I can just relax this week and not yell at my kids about yelling at each other, and just enjoy being with them, it will be a successful and HOPEFULLY uneventful Spring Break!

What A Weekend!

Last Friday I went to the basement to start vacuuming the kids rooms for everyone to come for the baptism. When I went into Kaden's room, I noticed it was wet under his garbage can. With a little more investigating, I discovered a lot of wet under his bed. I pulled back his curtain to find a window well with a lot of water in it, and a puddle in in window under his alarm clock. All the water was coming in the window, and running down the wall. I spent a good portion of the morning with a wet vac, and good neighbors coming to my rescue! We had to pull up some of Kaden's carpet, and now we are trying to get a hold of our neighbor who lays carpet, to come and put is back down. It dried nicely, and so I guess as bad as it seemed, it could have been a lot worse. It could have leaked through the foundation! Saturday was a GREAT day. We spent the morning with some of my family while Jody went to school. At 1:00 Paige was baptized, and it was really great. Both of her grandmas got to share their testimonies, and Paige thought that was so neat. Her Grandma Jacobson also made her beautiful white dress for her, and she looked SO Beautiful!
Thanks to everyone who came to share this day with Paige. We really appreciate all of you. It turned out to be a WONDERFUL weekend, even if it didn't start off so well!
