In the home stretch of the school year!

This year has had alot of firsts for tay. Moving to middle school, first club sports and afterschool sports, first broken bone and first dance! You decide which was her favorite. At her last dance, she got ready with friends and one of them helped her put make up on to wear to the dance. She was very excited to get yet another first done!

One night while hanging out at the mall with friends, tay decided to become a model...or a mannequin. Can you tell which is real and which is tay??

The 6th grade has had several big projects, but one of the favorites is Astrogation week. The kids spend the week making rockets to launch into space. These 2 pics are tay ready to launch and watching her rocket travel up!


It was a fun day full of sun and I got a nice pink face out of it!

We are winding down the school year preparring for summer and lots of different camps. Tay is very excited to be going to sleep away camp again. We are trying a new one she gets to fly too! One of her school friends is going to the same camp so it's making it even better. No big vacations this summer. We are waiting for our spring break disney cruise next year. Can't wait. I followed a magic in the med blog this time around and am feeling very sad that I didn't get to go back on the magic this summer. Airfare is crazy right now. I spoke with an aquiantance who works for a major airline and they said if you can find a deal buy it as they are getting fewer and farther between. It's very discouraging for those of us who need a deal to get where we want to go.

I'm looking forward to this school year ending. My favorite event we do...ENGAGE THE SPIRIT..is coming up soon. I have started walking on the path to running again. I am embarrased to say I let myself go this year big time. I really need to get off my fat ass and get back into it. I did have a good reason that I let myself go which I'll keep to myself, but it's been well over a year and even though I put on weight I feel much better. AND in the end, it was the right choice and I'm glad I finally did it. Weight can always come off right?!?!
