BUSY BEES!

It has been a crazy April and May to come will be even crazier!

To start it is the end of the school year! For a special ed. techer that means a meeting for every student that I have...most after school....One lasted 3 hours! another last from 11am to 3pm! And then there is the checking into schools for students for next year! I went to an orientation with a student's class....that lasted forever! Or at least it felt like it! ugh! And then there is the final days at the college...trying to finish those last few days up and write a final!

Then we've been busy with my Uncle Jim visiting from Oregon....We went to Springfield to visit him and then they came here today to see the "updates" of our house...last time he was here was 10+ years ago....lots of additions and updates since then!!!!

We've also been busy with Tae Kwon Do! We all tested recently and passed....Myah and I are now yellow belts, Steve is now purple, and Jesse is now a blue belt! We also went to our first tournament....BOY that was horrible!!!!! At least for Steve and I....we were so nervous! I forgot half my form and added some new moves to it too! But at least I finished 7th out of 8th and not 8th! Steve did well, but didn't really place. He did get a kick to the head of his apponent! His first! But the other guys were better! Jesse placed 4th...not too bad...Myah took home a first! (All Tiny Tigers do, though) They both got trophies...Myah's is almost bigger than her!

I'll post pictures some time soon, so check back soon....or at least by next week!
