Updates...
March - 3 letters…. T.I.G. wowwwza it was another crazy, stressful,
fun, successful learning year. This year
markes the 12th annual TIG and just like the 11 before it, we can never
seem to prepare for the physical part of the month. With us now hosting both baseball and
softball Matt and I don’t see much of each other in March as we are both at our
respective parks running around making coaches happy, telling umpires to hurry
up, showing fans where to go and telling my staff that they are pretty darn
awesome. I think if we were wearing pedometers we would clock about 10 miles a
day! Needless to say I am never prepared for that. As far as the kiddos go, it’s always a rough
month for them due to the lack of family time we get and are used to the rest of
the year. But as usual they were champs!
April is what I call my “stop, catch my breath and make up
for lost time with the kids” month. We started swimming lessons for both kids again,
and they are doing AWESOME.
May, OH MAY OH MY how I love you. This year for our vacation we headed to Hawaii
with the whole family, minus my sister who we missed dearly… she is always up
for a good laugh, seriously, she can get a whole crowd laughing and no one will
know why! 9 days on the Big Island cures all, rejuvenates the body and MAKES
you slowdown, which is what we needed. The trip was filled with animals, yes,
animals. Everywhere we went for some
strange reason an animal was involved (see pictures below). The kids had a BLAST and it’s sooo fun to see
the excitement on the their faces with new adventures.
…Side story: So the last night we set ourselves up for a
Luau or as Kapri calls it, a Lewwwwout. As
in any customary Luau they cooked the pig in the ground, had the hula girls and
the fire dancers. During the fire dance
performance the performer asked Micah (who was standing in front) to come
forward and shake his fiery hand, and what do I do, FREEZE and fumbled for the
camera way too late to get a picture. Anyway, he didn't react to the notion in
too much excitement or share with us that it was the coolest thing EVER…until
we got back to the house.
Here is the repercussion of a simple fire hand shake has had
(quotes by Micah, AKA the fire hand shaker)
“Kapri, I get to go first, I am the fire hand shaker”
“Kapri, you are not big enough, only a fire hand shaker
person like me can do it”
“Mom, can I have the iPad cause I am the fire hand shaker”
“Don’t worry Kapri I will get it, I am the fire hand shaker”
And here is a video of the fire hand shaker...drums by Matt :)
…oh boy.

| Boy do I wish I was a better Photographer so that I could have captured this sweet moment of Kapri in a better light. She was dancing to the Hawaiian music that was playing at the Luau during dinner. One of my favorite moments. |
