Last weekend Josephine and I took the girlscouts to the Power Ranch carnival. The kids all had a blast. Zachary tagged along because John and Johnny went to a Diamondback game with Eric. Jonnie and Brookie were 2 teens that sang at the carnival for charity. The girls felt like they were at a Hillary Duff concert. Really neat to be that young and to want to change the world. Hope everyone had a wonderful mothers day!!

Below are pics of us at our recent trip to Rocky Pointe. We had so much fun. It was a very relaxing and peaceful trip. We actually left the kids at home with Mom and Cherie and Julie. Its nice to get away.

I have not updated my blog in a while because my camera has not been working very well and just that I've been running around so much that I have had no time. Johnnys play wrapped up after 6 shows and tons of rehearsals. It sure was fun!! He did so awesome and Im so proud of him for auditioning and performing in his first play!! The cast party is tomorrow night. He's sad because he wont see any of these kids anymore.

My birthday is on Sunday and John and I are going to Rocky Point to stay in one of the beautiful resorts on Sandy beach. I think it is so beautiful there and cant wait to go for a few days just to unwind. I got a new camera for my birthday so will take lots of pics. The kids are staying here with mom and Cherie and Julie. I don't think we have ever left them. Im sure they will have lots of fun. Iv'e been milking my birthday for all its worth. Tonight Josephine surprised me at our girl scout meeting with a cake. Everyone sang for me. It was so sweet of her to remember me. She also gave me some awesome gifts!!! Mom had a party for John, dad, and I at her house this past weekend. It was fun being with everyone. And last weekend we had a get together here for Pearl and John and Caryss' birthday with Johns family. I love April. Lots of parties!!

Here is a cast pic of Johnnys play that he will be in through Gilbert Fine Arts. It is getting down to the wire now. The play runs 4/4-4/11 with 9 performances. He is practicing 3 days a week. The dance numbers have a lot of choregraphy and he doesn't quite have them all down yet. Im nervous!! I hope he can get it down. I wanted to get a flyer on but it wont download. I will email everyone a flyer if I can.

We went to the church picnic on Sunday. We had a lot of fun. Plenty of games and food. The kids kept winning cake at the cake walk. I entered a raffle for a 2008 mustang. It sure would be cool to win that!! Our good friends the Cranes and the Omalleys were there along with mom and dad and Cherie and Tim and their kids.

I was in the hair salon and a young man walked in asking who would like to buy a turtle. Of course I had to buy 3. One for each of the kids. I couldn't wait to give it to them because they've been asking for a long time. When I got home, I had them close their eyes and put out their hands. They were sooooooooooo excited!! I got hugs and kisses and thank you mommy all night. We cleaned out our aquarium and made a nice home for them.
