SO this am I'm up bright and early. Brandon informed me last night that if I am going to get up and work out (we've started an adult fitness class at our gym at 6 in the morning) then, I could get up and clean the house and finish my work then. So I'm blogging, does that count???? I did at least throw in a load of laundry and do the dishes....So I'm finished, so off I go to pick up the swimming stuff that hasn't made it past the front door. The kids have already been to the Aquatic Center three times and are going again tonight. We love that place!!

School Pictures
We always get great pictures from my friend Jenn. She comes to AIM to do our school pictures, so I make her do my kids too. Hanna is always upset because I don't let her get her regular school pictures and I take her out of her school (shh) to come get my school pics. Well, it's all for memories sake! The kids are just growing up too fast. A funny story about these pics is that I was curling everyone's hair and Alizah just stood there and silently took the "torture". After I was done she ran away without saying a word and came back with soaking wet combed STRAIGHT hair. She has her own little way of dealing with things, she'll just take care of it herself!
It is Spring Fest in Moses Lake and we have had a busy weekend. Thursday we took the kids to the carnival, Friday was the lip sync at the amphitheatre, Saturday morning-the gymnastic team in the 5K, and tonight is the moonlight parade. Good thing Monday is a day off! I'll hopefully get pictures of everything and post more this weekend...

Hanna State Level Four Weekend
It was a big weekend clear back at the end of April that I'm blogging about today. Hanna made it to State for Level Four. She had had a rough Sectionals meet with a few falls, so barely slide by, but still got to go. State was a huge deal with so many teams. She did her best ever on Bars (8.9) and Vault (9.4) and did fairly good on the other two. She had a fun weekend with her friends at the motel swimming and eating out. The next day I had to coach other sessions so she went with dad to visit the seattle sights. The two younger girls were in Idaho at this point, with Hanna being extremely jealous about this fact, so she got to do the big things in Seattle to make up for it. Her favorite was the space needle. She has wanted to go for so long and talks about it non-stop. She also got to go to lots of fun places to eat and a little shopping. It was a great family weekend, but we really missed the two little ones.
So this morning, I'm enjoying a lttle calm before the storm. I'm blogging when I should be cleaning, cooking, preparing etc. But I'm in for a big weekend and I hope we all survive. Family starts arriving today for Hanna's baptism. We also have to set up for the fun meet that is tomorrow and cook for the baptism dinner. I should have tons more pictures after this weekend! We also have new tile in our house and a new toilet! When the toilet was outside for the tile to be done, the wind knocked it over and it shattered....it's been a week to say the least. So Korbi is pulling in for me to babysit her kids while she goes to a doctor appointment in Spokane, so here goes the weekend. We are off and running. Pray for us:)

Busy Idaho weekend!
bouncing, and rocking baby Lizzi! At Uncle Kalan's thesis presentation, Great Grandpa Beck posed for a few pics with the kids. I can't believe he made the trip! He looks great (hard to believe near 100). I think the wheelchair is a trick. Any minute he might be jumping out and grabbing a kids' ear at the way some of them were behaving:)
School needs to be out soon!

Hanna's Baptism
If you know me, I'm frantically trying to make everything go my way to prepare, but so far, we're behind in preparations but I'm sure we'll pull it off somehow. We've been visited this week by little furry creatures, so now my entire house has been bleached. We love the spring and living in the country..... We saw our first snake of the season too, at least they are coming out to eat the mice! I have been so bad at the blogging, but just spent the evening organizing pictures, so hopefully I can catch you up on the last two months!
