The Last 2 Weeks in Review

The end of the year has been a whirlwind, so here's whats been happening:

School ended Thursday May 24th -You know what that means, the annual soaking of the kids as they get off the bus.  Jeremy has been dying to participate and this year he had the day off.  We filled balloons and hid out and sabotaged them.  They didn't stand a chance.  As usual, there were tears, but this time by Abby, not Jake (don't worry, by the time we were done, all were happy).

Then it was off to Mesa. We've been talking about getting rid of Bodgie now for 3 years and it finally happened!  There were a lot of tears as we took him to the "no kill shelter" in Phoenix.  I definitely felt bad for my fam as they were crying, but it needed to be done and the kids seem to have recovered.

Then it was over to Grandma Goodman's viewing, then funeral the next morning (more about her in another post).  Then swimming at the Ricedorff's, shopping at my favorite shoe store - DSW and on home.

Saturday morning started bright and early at 5:00 as we headed up to Flagstaff for Jake's final soccer tourney.  He's  been playing Yavapai Soccer and has done great!  It's been fun watching him get better and run circles around the defense.

Is this just natural for all boys to stand this way protecting themselves? Even when the ball is not in play?

Sunday was church and then off to Groom Creek to hang with the Chelsey's.  They were at their family cabin and we crashed their afternoon.  We played a mean game of kickball and visited while the kids got in a scuffle with some punk boys. - see Julie's blog post for more on that funny story.

Sunday night was welcomed with my first breast infection since having Claire and kicked my butt pretty hard.  I'm all recovered now and I love modern medicine!

Now it's officially summer and I'm ready for school to start again.  The kids are eating every snack in the house due to boredom and I'm still trying to play catch up from the long weekend.
