Catching up on life...


OK, so I'm blogging lots today. I feel like I haven't kept up with all that is going on.




-Maddy & Tyler are taking a summer school class through the "All Kids Are Gifted" program with Mesa Public Schools. They are both really enjoying it. They get to ride a bus there, eat breakfast and lunch there and their favorite part... NO HOMEWORK!!! The theme this summer is "Road Trip". It's fun seeing the projects they are working on.




-Macee gets to spend time with me all day... lucky her. We try and go to the YMCA 3 days a week and after I work out and she goes to the Kiddie Club (her class as she calls it) I try and take her swimming. She is very brave in the water... it's kinda scary because she thinks she can swim, but she really doesn't know how to! At least she's not kicking and screaming and not wanting to go swimming, because when you live in AZ, pools are a necessity!




-Chuck just celebrated 10 years at SmartHealth. He really enjoys his position and really enjoys telecommuting. With gas prices going up up up, it sure saves on gas money! I'm proud of Chuck for all the hard work he has put into working for SmartHealth and for how much he has grown and learned while he has been there!




-Chuck and I were called as A-Camp leaders for girls! (For those who are wondering what A-Camp is, it's 4th year at church girls camp and we go "rough" it for a couple nights then go back to main camp to finish up!) So we have been planning and preparing for that these past couple months. We go to camp in July. I will let you all know how it went when it's all done!




-We spent Memorial Day Weekend down in Thatcher with Chuck's parents. It was a nice weekend. A few highlights...




The kids played outside in the water




Maddy put on a "Play" for us. We made up a song and Chuck was her prop holder. It was cute!




Macee didn't go to bed until about midnight on Friday and was up again around 4-5am (I can't remember exactly) and she finally crashed Saturday afternoon.




My kids are definately Melser's when it comes to falling asleep... Maddy was a bit tired, you think?




Me & Carla... sorry, I was lazy and didn't put on make-up when I didn't have to!

So I don't have pictures of Tyler... he really did go with us, he just is going through a phase where he doesn't like his picture taken... oh-well... he really did go with us!

When we got home from Thatcher we went to a Swim Party/BBQ with the Mortensens and had a wonderful time there!


-We just got done with the kids Little League games. Maddy played tee-ball and Tyler played machine pitch. I think they enjoyed themselves. I sure enjoyed keeping score at Tyler's games. It helped me actually watch the game!
Maddy's Team... The Riverdogs
Tyler's Team... Storm

-I'm ready to go back to Disneyland again... I have to wait a few months, but if you know me, I'm always ready and willing to leave town and play!


-Hopefully I will keep up with all that is going on in our lives better than I have been. We have just been busy, busy, busy... so you get it all at once. And this was just the highlights!

Have a fabulous day!

The pic of Maddy sleeping "in" the chair is GREAT!

Wow--you guys have been busy! Of course, the girls' camp part caught my eye. I remember those good ol' Camp Kenyon days when we were 4th years. :) I hope you and Chuck have a great time!
