Enjoying life!

As usual it has been quite some time since I have posted.  I do not think I can even begin to catch up so I will just give you some recent highlights of what we have been doing.

School is out so I officially have a 7th and 4th grader...WOW..Where does the time go?  The girls are looking forward to Summer and I am loving the change of routine!  Getting both girls moving in the morning for school was getting more and more difficult as the weather grew nicer.  We have to purchase a new alarm clock for Nicole because her current one is not loud enough.

Nicole started wearing contacts a couple months back and she had a huge growth spurt over the winter. She is only a couple inches shorter than me and is very excited about it!  She is keeping busy with friends, Church, and soccer.  She now volunteers at Church with the first graders and loves it.  She keeps us running to and from soccer most weeks.  Tryouts are tomorrow and her summer soccer league begins Monday.  She   had a great year in school!

Ashley has matured a lot this year and is more and more like Chad every day.  Chad and her love to sit in front of the TV watching sports.  She fell in love with soccer and piano over the winter and just had her first piano recital.  She participated in a program through the schools called, "Girls on the Run" which is a positive self esteem, team building program for girls.  They also run every week and she ran a 5K at the end of the program.  She ran the entire way without stopping on a very hot day!  What a great accomplishment!  Chad ran with her and Nicole and I were there to cheer her on!

Chad and I are both doing well.  Even though we seem to be rushing here and there he is still my best friend and the love of my life!

Enjoy the pics!
