May!! the month we didn't get to rest.

so May is probably the busiest month of the year I think. Aleast that's my excuse for not blogging anything!! Good grief. Here was our Month recap.
Mom had a bday! Then Greg and I had our Anniversary, we went to Applebee's for dinner with Julia, Riley, Morgan and Laney (it was very romantic let me tell ya) then we took the kids over to mom and dads and went to watch Wolverine (which by the way I thought was a good movie). Our weeks are always very busy with gymnastics, dance, basketball practice, soccer practices, and play dates. We had recitals for gymnastics which the Julia and Morgan were in along with Kenna, Camden and Logan. It was very cute. Julia has her back handspring now so everyone got to see it. Morgan was cute with her I Love Spot routine. She sure like the performing.
Riley's soccer this year was awesome! She became a much better goalie this year and her whole team played so well together. I always looked forward to watching Riley play soccer. Greg got to help out coaching this season which I know he enjoyed. He actually coached the last game of the season last weekend. He thought it was very stressful but really enjoyed it too. I'm sure he will help out again next season. The team has decided to stay together again and play together for a third season.
Julia had her second season with basketball. She did great. they didn't have enough girls to play so they played against boys all season. her team was all girls and they definitely kept up pretty well with the boys. I was happy that I got to be the assistant coach this season. I really enjoyed helping out, I even coached a game!!
Morgan had her first gymnastic class without mom! Camden was in it and Aunt Kerry coached it, but Morgan everyday (actually she still asks every day if she has nastics today, so I know she likes it.
The boat broke last month too, a few times. We replaced the starter and it worked fine, then the next trip out I was left dead in the water, no wakeboarding for us on a hot hot day. So Greg decided to just change everything. We replaced the fly wheel, the starter, the relay and the ignition switch. Luckily that stuff was very inexpensive. The boat has been working great ever since.
My car also broke down last month. We were on our way to preschool, school and work and it started shaking and died. I pushed it out of the way into a ditch by the olive mill. Christian the rescue to pick up Riley and Julia to take them to school. Then Michelle to the rescue to pick up me and take me to work and watch Morgan for a while. Greg and Christian towed the car back to the house and we worked on it for a while. It was my IDPM. we took it to the dealership and they charged a million dollars to get it fixed and then didn't even replace it right. So we had to take it back again for the third time for them to fix it. There was a bunch of other drama added to that whole story too. Greg and I are banned from any Power dealerships.
By the way if any of you are trying to loan modify your house make sure you get EVERYTHING in writing and you read all of it. Trust me, another long sad story.
We had a great Memorial weekend, we went boating (of course) and had a great time. Hung out on the docks at Tamara's boat and the girls made a new friend named JoAnna. Went to mom's house and went swimming on Memorial day. Last weekend we went out boating twice, super fun great times, the girls surfed with us and then Julia tried on her own, that girl is getting so good and confident behind the boat.
We went to Steve's 60th bday Party (Father in law). Had a great time. It was an astrology thing. They set up a couple telescopes and we got to see the ring around Saturn and its moons, double double stars, nebulas, and the moon obviously. Greg and Julia had the time of there life, they both really enjoy that stuff.
Now that it is June I thought our weeks would slow down and they kinda have. We still have a busy schedule with I think every weekend booked (don't tell greg or hell get angry) Right now we have one of Julia's friends over, she spent the night. Not sure how much sleep they really got, but they seem to be having a great time. And this weekend is Julia's first slumber party. Yikes she's getting too old.
