Random thoughts/update

Busy week as usual. The kids are enjoying the first week of summer break and I am enjoying the freedom that no school brings. Sleeping in a little more, less stress trying to get dinner, homework and showers done after getting home late from dance/wrestling. It's great!

Alyssa started her summer dance intensive program Monday. It's Monday-Thursday from 11am-6pm. She is taking Ballet, Jazz, Hip Hop and Tap. Just yesterday she was invited by the ballet instructor to join the Lyrical class. This class is only offered to 7th grade and up. She of course was very excited. Another thing that is just as exciting, she was invited to dance in the senior intensive. Her instructors thought she was too advanced to stay in her age group and worried she wouldn’t get anything extra out of it. She's now dancing with older girls, teaching Jr's in high school the proper form of a jette. She is so talented and I, of course, am very proud. She must of gotten her dancing abilities from me. :)

Brandon continues to train at Tap Out. He gets better and better every day. I'm looking forward to wrestling season so I can see his improvements. He's very motivated by this sport, like Alyssa is with her dance. He reminds me daily that Saturdays cannot be filled with mindless things like grocery shopping and other errands. It must be kept free for his Tap Out classes. I laugh, of course...after all life does revolve around them.

Gabriella is busy busy too. She's discovered a love for putting things in the toilet. Not sure where this obsession has come from but I do hope it passes just as quick as it came.

My mom has been sick in the hospital this week. She is feeling better now and should be home soon. Say a little prayer that she has a speedy recovery.

That's about it
