baaaaad girl blogger! She's baaaaaaack

Life is busy…. This is the life I dreamed of as a young girl… a loving husband, happy healthy children, a job I enjoy…. I remember when Jeff and I were first dating, one of my girlfriends son’s (he was 8 at the time, I think or even younger) would have soccer games, Jeff and I would get up early on Saturday morning and go! We would comment to each other – how we couldn’t wait to be attending our own kids sporting events some day… and now – we have loved every minute of it! At one time, recently each kid had two sports, one team sport each, and one ‘lesson” sport… and add to that music lessons… So as I said life is busy, but GREAT…

Hank is our hockey player… he loves loves hockey… he is currently in a hockey induction training program… once he graduates this June, he will join a house league that starts in September…  He is also taking guitar lessons (acoustic) and just excelling beyond our imaginations.. his teacher loves him – and is thrilled to teach him and see his awesome progress. He can actually play full songs (by Poison and Green day) – he will be trying out for the talent show in a few weeks… Will is our gymnast… he loves gymnastics and has been taking fun gymnastics class for a year now – and we recently signed him for training at the local jr. Olympic training center – here in Phx.. it is the one sport he keeps the ultimate focus on and enjoys.. he has tried other sports and doesn’t care for them too much. He just finished a month of choir and has asked for individual voice lessons as he wants to be a pop-star! Hahah – as long as it remains in our budget, we will encourage them to try…… follow their passions right?!!   

Backyard:  ugh… it is a work in progress and actually looks great today as we spent the weekend doing yard work and project work.. we have big plans for the backyard… the wall is done… cannot wait for the finished project… I will update w. some pics soon!

p.s. as I am typing this, Jeff called me from the road (taking Hank to Hockey) to sing to me… one of our fav songs was playing “Kodachrome” by Paul Simon… we joke about it now cuz it references a Nikon Camera, which I am obsessed with! Hahahah I just love that song.

Photobiz: going GREAT!  I am building up my clientele and taking lots of pics.. I am loving it! There is rumor @ work that layoffs may be on the horizon… we are set up so we can survive short term on Jeff’s income.. AND  I cal always fall back on teaching and building the photog biz if that happens.. so for once, I am not stressed about it… seems strange to not be stressed… hahah

We had a great visit w. Jeff’s mom and Aunt Sandy a week ago.. I did not even take ONE picture w. them… no idea what my problem was… yikers… They stayed for almost a week and we really enjoyed having them. We even went to see Englebert Humerdinck and to my surprise, I knew just about every song! Haha

AIMS testing this week @ school… early to bed… big hearty breakfasts!   Off to a Relay for Life Committee meeting! Ciao
