We Made it Through Another Year!!

Well, when I said I was going to keep the blog updated I didn't mean six months later.  However, it is better than the year break we had last time!  We made it through another school year.  It is hard to believe that Madison finished 5th grade and Damon finished 9th.  There must be some mistake, I can't be that old.  Ha ha.  We are all doing well.  The kids are keeping busy with school and friends.  They both are still playing the violin.  Damon has been working very hard in his classes and enjoys hanging out with his friends when he has the time.  He also has worked some on his Mustang that he is restoring.
Madison had a great year, she dressed up like a monster for her class' literacy festival performance,  she participated in the hope of america program, she graduated from DARE (the drug resistance program), had a Spanish fiesta at school and got to play the violin, and for field day enjoyed the slip and slide that they set up on the hill at school.
This summer we are headed to Colorado to see family that we haven't seen in a while and California to see Lindsay (I guess we will visit with Chris and Alicia while we are there too).  We want to spend some time at the pool and with friends; and despite some moaning and groaning from the kids, Mom wants to get the house cleaned and organized.  Wish me luck!!  We hope that everyone is doing well and enjoying the warm weather.
Love ya!!
