Update

I took the day off to spend with my husband who I haven't seen all week but is still sleeping since he works nights. Aimie has been extremely busy and is not answering her phone. So I went with Kris and Danielle to Chambers bay and walked up steep hills. Yeah! It really wasn't too bad. I am not ready for this half marathon by any stretch of the imagination. Goal will be to run at least 3 days this next week.
I also got my official transfer date and will be starting my new position on June 5th. It will be nice to go back to 3 tweleve hour shifts but will miss the weekends and holidays off.

Hollie is doing well on the Golf team this last match her score helped them to win the meet. She came in 8-10 strokes behind her normal score! She is texting me now trying to get her way which is very teenage like? We thought she would miss this stage all together. She really has been the best teenager we know. Works hard at school can achieve great things in life.

Lauren just had her first track meet she is running for the junior high they accept the seventh graders from the middle school. Since they are the jv squad she only was able to compete in two events. She took third place out of all three schools in the 100meter dash and then she is unsure but thinks she took third place also in the 200 meter hurddles. She has a soccer game this saturday and is doing well in school. No social drama as of yet but eighth grade is still around the corner.

The family all went out for pizza on wed. night to Louie G's in Fife. A father on the Lauren's soccer team is a stand up comedian and does Karyoke. I called my sister and she and her family met up for pizza. We took some kids from the track meet and Kenzie was the first to kick off the singing. Lauren sang a few songs, Hollie sang at the table, Thom did two rap songs (he only listens to rock) and I sang one too. We ended up having such a good time that we stayed for four hours. Thom was so tired but it was nice to see him for a little bit. My sisters daughter Amelia she is six, sang poker face Lauren helped her. It was awesome to see how independant she is as she walked up to the front of a very croweded room.

Well time to wake Thom up.......

Hollie's Second Golf game

Hollie says she went to the Home course for this game? She assures me that this is the name of the golf course. Hollie says that she improved her score by two strokes. She still was about double par consistantly. Hollie is still last to tee off with Jessica but with as much as she is practicing I bet by the end of the season she will have moved up. Hollie loved the bus ride home talking with the team and enjoying the moments of just being in High School.

Lauren's School soccer party

The Saber soccer season ended! The team was undefeated but as Lauren said each team they played against had maybe one or two good players with few subs. The coaches organized an end of season soccer party at the Eagles Acres in Puyallup. The girls all played scrimage games and inbetween they ate cake, pizza, candy, and pop. Kelly (one of the girls on the team) organized a relay for the coaches. The coaches Mr Scott and Ms Payne (aka KP) had to run two laps followed by lines. They had to play a one on one scrimage game and the first person to score wins! Katie Payen won for the coaches. The coaches had a relay for the girls. They divided the girls into four teams and each team had to dress one girl in toilet paper. That girl would have to score a goal with out ripping one piece of the toilet paper. Laurens team included Maddy Michaude, Emily Kauffman, Courtney Morton, and someone else she can't remember. Ultimately another team one this relay. Lauren said she had a great time. The first week back to school she will start Track.

Saturday Night

Saturday was busy, it was the first day back from the world of illness. I went to Lauren's soccer game she scored four goals, two of those goals were set up by her friends so she could get her iPod touch. Which we did buy her because she could have still missed the goals even though they were nicely set up. Lauren played the first half of the game as defense, she made two attempts on goal from the other side of the field. She has quite a leg on her..... Then we bought two rocking chairs for the front porch, flowers, and grass care stuff. We took Lauren to her birthday party and Kris was so nice to pick her up and keep her for the evening so Thom and I could trek up to Seattle. We had a wonderful dinner with April and Dean. April and I go way back to junior high and church CYO classes where we caused so many problems. It was a wonderful evening we laughed so much which of course sent me into coughing spasm. On the way home we picked up Lauren bought NyQuil and I slept so well finally. Today I am getting ready for the week. We are suppose to weigh in tonight with Aimie, Jon, and Brian. I really don't want to do the work to lose the weight but here we go....

Hollie's First Golf Game

FHS had their first Golf game at North Shore Golf course on Tuesday this last week and won. Hollie said she did well but for the most part doubled par during the game. Her highlights was a one putt from the outside of the green. She also had a chip shot that hit the pole but bounced out. I was sick and unable to go sorry I don't have a picture to post with this.
