The month of March

WEEK 1

March began with Dad gone:( He was on a TDY but life here continued at our regular insane pace. We had Dance on Mon., Tues., Thurs., and Fri. We had Brittany's High School info night on Monday that I got to go to that with Brittany, while Alli babysat. The big girls had dance festival practice on Tuesday. Michael had basketball on Wednesday. Dad got home on Friday and then on Saturday we had Michael's basketball game, we went birthday shopping for Aunnika, Catherine went to a friends birthday party, and Dad and Mom went out on a date. Sunday we went to our the church of our friends the Frey's to see their two girls get baptized. It was a very very different experience for us.

WEEK 2

Monday was Aunnika's 9th birthday and that will get it's very own post. Monday was also dance for Catherine. Tuesday we had piano lessons for Michael and Catherine and then later for Britty, Alli, and Aunnika. Michael had soccer and Aunnika had dance. Wednesday was a special YW activity where the kids invited teachers and had a teachers appreciation dinner. Thursday The kids all got to go to Home School Academy and Hans, Daniel and I had a nice day at home. Michael had soccer practice and basketball practice and Brittany and Allison had dance. Friday Brittany and Allison had dance and I got to go to a baby shower that my neighborhood friends had for me. It was so nice.

Saturday Brittany and Allison had dance festival practice, Michael had a basketball game, we got Brittany's birthday shopping done and the grocery shopping. Oh coarse I didn't do most of that cause I was feeling so fabulous! And then on Sunday there was a youth fireside.

WEEK 3

Monday-Catherine dance and we had FHE. Tuesday-Michael and Catherine had piano lessons, Michael had soccer, and Aunnika had dance. Wednesday-BRITTY'S Birthday!! Michael had an orthodontist appt. We had a party for Brittany, and Michael had scouts. Thursday- Alli, Michael, Aunnika, and Catherine had HSA but Britty was out of school. Michael had soccer practice, and Brittany and Alli had dance. Friday- no school again for Brittany so everyone just played. Dad went to the temple, and Brittany and Alli had dance. Saturday- My mommy came!!! Oh how very thankful I was for her arrival. Sunday- Mike went home teaching and we all got to take it easy.

WEEK 4

This week was spring break so we didn't have any dance, piano, or school. It was so nice for everyone to get to spend lots of time with Grammy. I had a Dr. appt and everything looked good for little Lucy and I. For FHE on Monday we worked on getting our garden ready and some planting done.

Michael still had soccer practices but if I remember correctly, it snowed on Tuesday so that one got canceled. Yep, here's the evidence. This is what our garden looked like the next day.

Brittany and Allison had an orthodontist appt. on Friday, and then Saturday was Mike's birthday. Saturday night was also the young women general broadcast and my mom took the girls to that. Our stake had a special stake mtg for some reorganization on Sunday afternoon so our church was earlier and shorter.

WEEK 4 1/2

The last few day of the month were crazy again. Hans started soccer, Michael had both soccer practices, all the girls had all of their dance, everyone had piano lessons, we had youth activities, and Mom left :( we were so sad to see her go, but so so thankful for the time she gave us and all the help.

And there you have it folks, March on a stick. (HUH?)
