a little catching up

My latest crafty projectI just thought I would catch everybody up on whats going on here in NC. Kevin is in school for the summer, he had 3 classes one is anatomy, he has to go to the lab and cut on a dead body, yuck, he is very stressed out. He mistakenly thought this semester would be easier than the last. He is hanging in there. Kali has almost ended her baseball career, we have to drag her to her games and practices. She does very well playing on second base, I get a lot of complements on how well she plays by the parents and other coaches, She has never stuck out and throws many kids out on first. But as with all the authority here, her coach is not very nice to the kids.
Kaden has finished the regular season of baseball. He is their 3rd baseman. He along with 2 other kids from his team are nominated to play on the All-Star team, There team is ranked 3rd to last but Kaden had fun and they had a great team they just were not able to win very many games. They had there first play off game on Saturday and won, so they get to play again on Tuesday, it is single allimitaion so if they lose that one they are out. I went on a field trip with Kaden's class last Friday to the Estuarium. (an Estuary is were the area where the salt water from the ocean meets the fresh water from the rivers, i learned that on Friday) There are some girls in his class that are obsessed with him, they kept hugging him all day, they kept asking me who Kaden likes more, one even asked me what she could do to get Kaden to like her. I got some pictures of them loving him but Kaden told me he would kill me if I put them up, so just picture a moppy head kid, with girls all around him trying to hug him, it was so funny. Tanner is also done with the regular season of ball, there team did OK they won as many as they lost. Tanner, along with 3 other kids from his team were picked to go to All-Stars. He was their top pitcher, and did well where ever they had him played (short stop, catcher, second, first) He has to move up next year and play with the 11 and 12 year olds. I'm a little nervous those kids are so big. They also won their first play off game so they move on. As for me I still stay home and keep myself busy cleaning and helping out the kids with what every they need me to do. I also have been excepted to Pitt Community College, I took my placement test and did OK, I placed right were I need to for English, and did OK in Math, I am going to take it one more time to raise my math score. I start in August if I get finical aid to pay for it. One more thing before I bore you to much, I thought I would let everyone know we are coming home for the summer, the kids get out of school June 8th so we will leave here on June 19th and come back on August 7th, So for all you bunco slackers you better get going I plan to organize a game while I am there. We can't wait to see everyone again.

Your kids are awesome baseball players. Congrats to all of them. I really want to see the picture of the girls loving Kaden. That is just too funny. I am sad that I won't be able to see you this summer. Are you coming home for Christmas? I am jealous that you get to spend all that time in Utah. We are planning on doing that next summer.

Your kids are so cute. Love to see that they do so good in baseball and good for you to going back to school.
Love your crafty door hanger.
So excited to see you back in Utah. I will start planning the party! We should try and do it before Staci moves to Tahoe, that way we can get as many people in as we can. I will get back with you!

I love reading your blog. It is so much fun! You are SO crafty (I was just telling Jill on Monday how she has to check out your blog and see all the cute and fun things you have done). Your kids are darling and I bet it is so much fun to go and watch them play ball (sounds like Kaden may have his own fan club as well, your in for it).
I hope that I will be able to see you this summer as well. We should get everyone from school together. I get Jill right on it (ha-ha!).
It is so great to see you are all doing well. Tell Kevin to hang in there, he is doing so well and in the long run it will be SO worth it.
You are an amazing mother Kim, keep up the good work!
HUGS!
