Up to...

I just haven't written in a while and needed to write some things down.  Last weekend, my girls and I went to Logan. Hallie and Aleena danced at the Utah Dance Festival on Saturday. We got a hotel room for Friday and Saturday and just had a great time.  Savanna ended up wanting to tag along and so I let Livee come too.  Jase and Brad stayed home. Se had girl time. They had boy time.
We stayed at the University Inn. I was under the impression there was a pool but when we got there it changed to no pool.  They used to let the guests use the pool on campus but for some reason that changed.  The gjs were bummed at first but it still ended up being fun.  Saturday was full of curling hair, make-up,  dancing, waiting, dancing, waiting, etc.  Savanna had some friends there that were watching sisters and Livee had friends there too.  We actually walked from our Hotel to our performing building.  That actually really worked out great,.  It was a bit cold and drizzly but with the tight limited parking, we would have walked the same distance.  I learned that my kids are similar to their father in the eating out department.  I told them I would take them out to dinner to a real restaraunt.  We don't eat out very often and when we do it is Mcdonald's  (gross) or taco bell.  So I thought it would be a fun treat to go out.  Savanna was more open to places but the 3 others only wanted Mcdonald's.  So I decided it wasn't worth buying food they won't like because it is different. Big wimps:).  So we hit Mcd's, Panda Express because I wasn't wanting the other, and a frosty from Wendy's and then we had a big picnic in our room.  We laughed lots and got our tummies full.  Sunday we slept in and headed out. We weren't ready to go home yet so we found a small mall and stopped for a minute.  When Livde and Aleena started having meltdowns over candy and a stupid "win an i-pod claw machine" I knew it was time to head home.  Livee slept the whold way home.  She was such a wiggle worm the whole weekend.  Watching all those dancers gave her dancing/cartwheel fever.  She cartwheeled down every hall and was dancing the rest of the time.  She made me tired just watching her. 
Jase has started baseball.  This year we are driving to Burley for practice.  Last year they had enough Oakley boys that we had practice here.  We aren't as lucky this year.  He is probably going to pitch.  We will see.  He loves it.  Aleena has her first softball practice today.  They will practice in Burley too but her coach is from Oakley so she just takes the girls in which helps out a ton.
Savanna started Driver's Ed this week.  I am kind of ready yet not for her to drive.  She is excited.
I have just been babysitting a couple days a week.  Other than that just trying to keep up on the regular every day stuff.  Tomorrow Hallie, Livee and I ade headed to Boise.  Hallie has another dance comp on Friday.  I tried to get X-rays scheduled for the same trip but the office just called and the Dr just had to reschedule because of surgery. So I guess we will make another trip but I am going to wait til school is out.  We have recitals coming up and Hal really hates to miss school.
It sounds like we are crazy busy but right now things are actually pretty mild.  It is nice.  I do better with less chaos.
