update

Well our camera broke so we haven't been able to take many pictures lately. Mostly because we have a disposable camera and need to wait for it to develop! So...since most of the time I don't post until I have pictures, I haven't done much. So anyway I will do an update here and hope that it isn't too boring! :) I got my hair cut. I wanted it more angled so in a month or so, I will go back and get it done shorter in the back. I finished my choir conducting class and it was great, I learned a lot and enjoy knowing what I am doing and how to get what I want from the singers! :)
The first weekend of this month we went to the temple and then arranged to meet two of my roommates from BYU the semester before I got married!! It was so fun! I saw Sarah in the temple but she wasn't able to meet up with us afterwards. So it was my family and Camille! We went to the DC zoo and then out to dinner! It was great! I think we are planning to make a habit of meeting at the temple each month! I will really like that! I don't know yet how July will work since the first weekend is Independence day and then Carlos will be at High Adventure camp but we will make it at some point!
My dad came to visit last week. We had a good time. Miriam didn't attend her last day of 1st grade because we took a road trip to NC. It was fun. Sarah and Dad have pictures so maybe I will get them from them. We went to a museum and then Dad found a dance studio that did Friday night dances! It was great to have a short lesson and then get to practice what you learned. I think I will make Carlos try it tonight and see if we remember!! :)

Carlos started a new position last week and he likes it alright...except that a lot of the people there use bad language and it is frustrating and offensive. He said something once but doesn't feel like continually asking. He had he 32nd birthday on Tues. I got him the movie Princess Bride and had painted a football dish for him to use at football nights! Last night we went to S&K which is closing and got him two new suits, a shirt, tie, and socks all for the price of a regular suit!

Miriam is so big. She is 7!! She is going into 2nd grade and defiantly very smart. Next year we are going to try to get her in the gifted program I think. She might get to have her kindergarten teacher again! That will be fun. She is a big helper at home and while she has a LOT of worries, she tries to be nice. She took 3 sessions of swimming and is getting pretty good. She can almost dive!

Elaine is turning 5 tomorrow!!! She is excited to start school in the fall. She wants to be just like Miriam. She is also taking swimming lessons and getting better. She still needs confidence. She is sort of getting the hang of reading and has some words memorized. However, she doesn't really like to take the time to do that, she would rather be watching TV or playing a computer game....

Laurie is starting to do some babbling that sounds more like words. When she sings along with us she does the right amount of sounds, they just don't sound like words. She says Mama, Eye, and Bapa...not sure what that means. It used to mean cracker. She will start a swimming class at the YMCA this summer so I am excited about that!
Well that is about it I think... I will try to get a camera soon...
