Spring Fever

I have never been so excited for Easter/Spring break to arrive!! I cannot put into words how ready I was for this week to get here. My students had gone WILD, especially after testing. It's such a relief to have that over, and we only have 4 weeks of school left--YAY!!

Joseph will finally be coming home tomorrow--he's been gone for 6 weeks. He had been working in the office and had been able to be gone a week and then home a week. It has been so good for our family for him to be able to work that schedule. This past time he came home they cut back on office jobs for the company, and luckily for us he had worked his way up enough on the boats he was offered a job back on one. He's been gone so long trying to get back in rotation and he will be home for 5 weeks. This 6 weeks has been LONG and HECTIC!! Tee ball has begun, right before he left I was called as Relief Society President, I've had extra tutoring for kids after school to prepare for testing, and, to top it all off, we had a HUGE tree fall on our house.

We had a couple of really bad nights of storms at the end of March, and one of those nights, the 25th to be exact, a huge oak tree uprooted in our front yard and landed on our house. The kiddos and I were home while it happened.

It may not look terrible, but we have tons of structural damage. We were very fortunate to only have 2 holes in the house, but the attic is a complete mess. It was pretty scary and I was in complete shock the next day, and I just kept repeating, "There's a tree on my house."

Tee ball is in full swing, and it has completely consumed our lives. Landon's team has at least 2 games a week, and on the nights we don't have games we're practicing for an hour and a half to two hours. I love watching him play, and he's improved so much from last year. Maddie loves watching him play, and yells and claps for him the whole game. She loves her big brother so much!!

Last Wednesday I went on a field trip with Landon's kindergarten class to the zoo. It was so much fun and I'm so glad I was able to spend the day with him. Here are a couple of pictures from the trip, and might I say I thought Landon was tall for his age. I guess not!!

We had a great Easter weekend. Saturday I took Maddie to a church where a lot of the teachers at my school attend for an egg hunt. Luckily I did because it rained all Sunday afternoon, ruining any chance for her to hunt eggs.

After that, we went to Weezer's to dye Easter Eggs. Maddie had a ton of fun and found it difficult to not slam the eggs down!! It was cute how excited she was about the eggs.

Then on to Easter morning. It was just Maddie and I, but the Easter Bunny left Maddie and Landon some goodies. Landon will get his when he returns Wednesday.

That's all for now. We're in week 22 of pregnancy with Payton, and everything seems to be going great. We're truly blessed, and hope all is well with you and your families!!
