Had a good Easter at Gma and Gpa's house. Was real nice to see everyone all together again. It's been a very long time since that happened. Was a little disappointed in the egg hunt this year as they didn't let the older kids do any "hunting". That was a bummer! But I am glad that we were able to go and I can say that all of my kids have spent an Easter at Great Grandma and Grandpa's house like I did growing up.
Been busy with end of school year stuff and scouts. The scouts had a bake sale to earn money for their daycamp and raised 600 dollars in a day! Go Wolves! They also all got their wolf badge and are now looking forward to Day Camp in a couple weeks. I committed to another year of PTO Mommy and will be Grants treasurer again. I enjoyed it and maybe this year I'll feel a bit more put together ;) Kailer's last day of preschool was Friday May 27th. I can't believe he's going into Kindergarten this fall! It will be so nice to have the boys in all day school ;) I think he's going to just love it. As soon as he was done with preschool he's informed me that he is now a kindergartner, Kaeden's bus is his bus, and Kaeden's school is now his school. He's excited!
Still doing photography practice. I got two newborn shoots done and although I didn't get exactly what I'd hoped to get I did get some cute shots and the Mommy's were pleased which pleases me! I am pretty sure that photography has a neverending learning curve! The photo fundraiser for this weekend has been cancelled and may I admit I am secretly relieved? LOL I don't know why photoshoots make me so dang nervous. However the more I do it the more I conquer the fear and I'm sure it will only get easier just like anything else you do repeatedly right?
Finally got my H&R bonus. Not quite as big as last year but big enough that I'll be returning to work this next year. I had debated leaving if I ended up with no bonus. I was getting worried as it took awhile to get this year! I am super excited that this year when I work I will only have to find babysitters for Kinleigh as Kai and Kaeden will both be in school all day YAY ... That will make things nice!
Had some crazy family stuff come up last week and I finally feel like my head is not spinning anymore and things are getting back to normal. Hope that doesn't happen again Ever! I had a real good conversation with my brother last night and it helped to clear the air on some things. I know things won't be fixed with one phone conversation, but many things came out and we can move forward and try to keep things from coming to this point again in the future. I did have to eat my words and admit my brother was correct and I was wrong about a couple things ;) But that's ok, it's good for me to be wrong sometimes! ;) I am 31 years old now and really want to become a better person as I said in my last blog entry... in all aspects of my life... and with that comes me needing to learn to be open and honest with everyone. I tend to keep things to myself and bottled inside and rarely if never tell someone when they have upset me, hurt my feelings, etc. I am now working on being open and just telling the truth up front. Even if feelings are hurt initially it can't hurt worse then not talking for years and having it all come out at once when I finally explode and can't keep it in anymore............. Add that to my list of everything that needs changed and I feel a touch overwhelmed! One step at a time, one day at a time. I shall end this post with the best picture of my 3 kids together I was able to capture last month.. UGH Better luck this weekend ?!?!?!
