A couple of weeks goes by pretty darn fast!

Today is the last day of school for the kids. There is mixed feelings about it from them. Savannah will be transferring to MIDDLE SCHOOL!! I know, right!?! She is excited about it, but also a little nervous since a lot of her friends are moving away and so she will be a little fish in a big pond. I told her that she can test it out for a year.. I have not heard great things about the school so we will see. I wish we got into the school we wanted! Dang it! Anyway, She will be taking a bus and wearing a uniform and all that jazz. Such a grown up kid! I am proud of her!

Aaron is sad about Pre-k being over. He said he does not want to go to kindergarten because all his friends wont be there. :( Being a military kid has to be hard because of all the change! I'll work on it this summer and get him excited!

Justin is excited school is over because the other two will be home with him now all day. Plus he begged me (they all did) to let them go to school next year and not be home schooled.. Whaaaaaaaat?! They must not want to be home with me 24-7.. little do they know the feeling is mutual! Muahahaha Just kidding... only slightly!

So, I am allowing all the kids to go to school next year to schools that I really am having a hard time liking... But it is what it is right?!

So I Started this post about 2-3 weeks ago... So again, time is going by fast! I need to remember to update more!

Life is just busy. There can be a lot I can say about this past month, but I honestly cannot remember every detail. Basically the kids are fighting a lot more, and are bored, as am I. Money is scarce for now as we are saving for our trip to Idaho. It leaves not much to "extra" things. Plus, wouldn't you know it, both pools here on Ft. Bliss happened to not be working right as soon as summer hit! We may have 1 pool back by tomorrow, but I am expecting to to be packed! However, that is a new option for us to do for the summer that requires zero money! Other than that, I have been staying in a lot. I go out here and there, but not as much as I was before school let out. Which reminds me, Savannah is becoming quite the little babysitter for me! Yay! I can go to the commissary or run a few errands while she stays home with the boys! Sometimes I get anxious and nervous when I leave them, but I know I am right around the corner. All they do is play the wii anyway, so it is like a 2nd babysitter! Ha!

Joseph has been crazy busy with work and church. Both are very demanding on his time and he has precious little of it to spare. I am ok with it for now, because I know the importance of both, but sometimes I do want to have my husband focused on me! I know that is selfish, but it is how I feel. So, right now when he comes home, he shuts off and I try very hard to let him decompress in his way. I am proud of him and all that he is doing for everyone. He was able to head to the hospital yesterday and give a blessing to a lady in our ward before she had her baby. So, the baby arrived like less than an hour later! I am grateful to have such a caring and worthy man!

Well, I guess I should get up from my computer chair and do some work around the house. I have been lazy today and dragging my feet because I do not want to clean! lol. Seems like with the kids home that is *ALL* I get to do.. Sigh..

Take care!
