March Madness

I know if you are a college basketball person then you know what March Madness is, and believe me we do too! GO WILDCATS! But that is not the meaning of this post.

March is just going to be absolutely crazy for us. Hunter and Caroline started Tball and Baseball this week, we have piano on Tues., Branch presidency, Work, and Girls camp planning, and Abbey's birthday to look forward to. Oh yeah and we are going to Utah for a week at the end of the month.

Needless to say we are going to be busy.

I also moved to a new salon. I was a little nervous about the move, but I am so happy there! The owner is so good to me. She lets me come and go as I need to. I have learned a lot from every stylist there. All of them are totally okay with me asking questions, and observing if I am not busy. They say they have even learned from me too! That makes me feel good.

Jackson turned 16 weeks on Sat. He just got his 4 month shots and did great. He is sleeping through the night which is awesome. He is such a good baby! He is so happy and loves his entire family. Brent said that J.J. likes him more than the others did at this age, but that isn't true. They all loved him and being with him, he was just gone a lot so it didn't seem like it. Now however, Jackson is quite content with just hangin with dad.

Caroline's reading is coming along great! I am so proud of her. She has worked really hard to get better at reading. Now if we can just stop kissing boys in class and getting caught we will be okay.......

Hunter is amazing! He is such a great student. He brought home his report card with straight A's I was so proud. He loves to read which is great and his math is just like dad so what can I say. Super stud Tip is on a roll.

Abbey is busy studying for FCAT (State standardizing tests). She is working really hard to do well on the tests. She just wrote a 2 page paper on Teddy Roosevelt and it turned out really well. Her piano is coming along just great. We have an excellent piano teacher who is also in the primary at church. Abbey has been playing for us at FHE and doing a great job. Her next recital will be coming up soon I can't wait.

As for Brent and me we are just trying to keep our heads above water with the kids right now. We love having them active and doing things, it just takes it's toll on us old foagies. But we love it.

Paul moved in with us this week and is hilarious. I really did miss having the Irwins around and now we will be getting them back with us. Paul will be staying with us until the end of the school year when Stacey will bring the kids down to live in Florida. I am so excited to have them around again.

Well Go Cats. Go Craigs. March Madness here we come!

YOU may be excited to have the Irwins back, but I'm insanely said that they are leaving! What will I do with their fun and laughter? How will I ever get along without watching little Cambria grow? or Zoey play with Megan? Or Ethan and Jameson teaching my girls what it's like to hang with boys?

At least I know they are moving to a place with good friends....
