In a nutshell...we have been way busy. Allie and I took our trip together to Phoenix in the beginning of March. We had a great trip and Allie and her friend Haley had a blast. We went to the zoo, shopping, out to eat, and had lots of time to just let the kids play. Jason and Brock had some good male bonding time together enjoying a BYU basketball game, dinners with grandma, a movie, and who knows what else. After returning from Phoenix, two days later, Jason and I flew to Las Vegas to a conference that Jason needed to attend for work. I realized, "officially" how dirty, nasty and perverted LV really is. All in all, we still had a good time and needed a few days away together without the kids. We went to see a Cirque de Soleil show, Mystere, at Treasure Island. Thanks to Jason's work, they paid for our flights, hotel, food, entertainment, etc. The kids got to stay with their aunt Julie and grandma Janet while we were away. Life has been really busy just catching up on everything while I was away.
Allie is doing so good in school and dance. She is reading at almost a 2nd grade level and is cruising right along. She is really enjoying dance and is getting ready for her second dance competition which will be this weekend in Spanish Fork and next weekend in St. George. Her very favorite thing to do besides school and dance is play with her friends...which she can't seem to get enough of.
Brock is doing good also. We made it a few months without any serious injures...until Sunday. Actually, it wasn't that bad, just a nose dive off my parents couch and onto a ceramic pot; he gave himself a nice blackeye with a cut next to it. I had been searching for somekind of an energy release for him and Jason surprised the kids just in time for a heat wave with a trampoline and then 2 days later, we had a snow storm, oh well. They loved it for the two days and I am sure again when it heats up. I signed Brock up for preschool this fall and he can hardly wait! He takes his backpack out the door when I drive carpool and cries when he can't go to school. Hopefully he will continue to love it once he starts going.
And last but certainly not least, we had our ultrasound today and we are having another BOY!!! We were convinced it was a girl. That's okay. From the ultrasound, he looks good and healthy and that's what is most important. Hopefully life will slow down a little and most importantly start getting warmer. We are so sick of the snow and can't wait for the Spring. Anyway, enough for now...
