Many things have come and gone and I can't recall them all, so I will just begin with today.
Jalani is still playing soccer with the Wenatchee Fire U-11 girls team. So far this season, they are undefeated. :-) GO FIRE!! She is contemplating quitting soccer for the time being. I think she is having burn out. She has been playing soccer since she was 4 yrs. old. I think she is ready for a change. But she does such an amazing job, it is sad to think she wants to give it up. People on her team and parents have asked me if it is true that she is quitting. I say yes, and they say something like ...You can't let her quit, and then I say we are encouraging her but it is her decision. Tryouts are on May 21 and May 23, she would only be able to tryout the one day as the second day is Sunday. She is doing really well in school. She is an amazing artist. She loves life.
Jolyn is still in the high school marching band, and they are preparing for parade season. The Apple blossom Parade here in Wenatchee will start them off. She was doing track and then had some knee issues and shin splints which we were working to help her with.,(taking her to physical therapy and chiropractor) .but she decided to quit. (we wish she would have stayed) She is doing great in school.(A's & B's)
She is going to quit band for next year and concentrate on sports. Hope she enjoys that. She loves to text her friends, and has an amazing amount of texts each month. (we were a little concerned when our first mobile bill came in a box.) lol ;-) We are proud of her and her accomplishments, she even made the Honor Roll last semester. Good job, Jolyn!!
Jeff is still working at Children's Home Society. He seems to enjoy that job. We are grateful he has employment and is doing well at it. The biggest news for Jeff is that he only has 2 more quarters of school to get his Master's Degree. He has been going to school since 2007. It has been a long hard haul and we will be happy to see it end. He is doing amazing with his grades. I believe he currently holds a 3.82 gpa. woohoo!! We are proud of him. Go Jeff!!
He recently was given a new assignment at church, he was released as ward clerk and given the job of executive secretary. He is in the ward choir, and can't wait till he is done with school so he can sing with one of the community choirs again. He misses that.
I am still being a stay at home Mom, but have worked some temporary jobs for a company called JTEC, along with my substituting at times. I am still the RS secretary and for the most part enjoy that. I am thankful for my husband and children and their love and support. They are amazing!!
I love my parents, and siblings and am ever grateful that we have a great relationship among each other. They are something I could never live without! Blessed am I for having such an amazing family!!
My brother Layne, his wife Jayme, and their sons Payce & Tayo are coming in one week to visit. I am way excited by this. I look forward to our time together. THey will get to experience a small amount of the Apple Blossom Festival. for those who don't know about this festival, you may see more about it on www.appleblossom.org
