April 21st

After our relaxing time in Breckenridge it was back to school for the boys and the start of their soccer seasons...

Kristian had an award assembly and somehow managed to get a B average this go around... He must have been right on the line of the B/A average... But he was fine with it.

Dylan's first double header for soccer was snowed out. But his second one went on as scheduled. Kim and her family were able to make it here to go and stayed for Easter the next day. Dylan scored two goals in his second game. You could see the wheels turning in his head... once he got those he was on that ball just trying to get a piece of it!

Kristian's soccer program is through the school. Since it is the first year they are just getting everything together and worked out. For now they get together twice a week to practice/scrimmage and hope later down the line to get together with other schools in the area. He seems to be liking it and actually goes after the ball. The ages of the kids on the team range from 7th-12th, so he has been a bit intimidated.. but he is doing better.

Easter was as usual cold and snowy! We held the Easter egg hunt inside. We had one for the little kids and then another for the older kids. Kirsten with the help of a few adults... found both the prize eggs, which were worth $5 a piece! Lucky!!

Kristian had a skate boarding sleepover for his birthday. They had a lot of fun and luckily there were no broken bones at the end of it! I can't believe he is 13!! We took him out to Chili's for his birthday dinner and had them sing Happy Birthday to him. He wasn't happy with us, but oh well... that's what parents are for, right?

We are still adjusting to our new routines... With Mike working ALL THE TIME it seems these days we have to schedule time to spend together. May sound crazy, but it works for us. If we didn't we would never see each other! I honestly don't know how he functions... Between the hours he keeps at work and going to school on top of that... He amazes me!

As if I didn't have enough to do already... I became a chicken farmer! So far so good. Hopefully in the next day or two I will have their coop all ready to go! I didn't realize how fast they grow!

Well I suppose that is it! Hope all is well with all of you!!
