Dancing with Daffodils

 After such a cool spring we are not having a HOT summer! Wednesday I went to the gym and picked up groceries and then came home to shower and finish packing up. I left for the airport and it was all nice and sunny but around Bowie there was a crazy thunderstorm that shook my car and freaked me out. It was a stressful drive but I made it in time (after running through the food court and down to the gate because I made it through security when boarding started). Then we sat on the plane for 45 min waiting for luggage. But I still thankfully made my connection in Denver by getting off the plane first, walking straight to my gate while talking to Josh and then boarding my second plane. I picked up my bag and my car and drove to Cindy's house where we stayed up talking for a bit. Thursday Cindy and I went for a walk and ran some errands and talked and then she left to take Abbey to a soccer tournament in Boise and I decided to go get myself some TCBY. Cindy worked at one near my dance ...

 After my piano recital I spent all day Tuesday cleaning and then I planned for our Relief Society game night. Noreen had asked me to do it and I can't say no to her, but I was kind of wishing I had kept the night open since it was our last free evening together as a family for awhile. But I put together some games and I think it went pretty well and that we had fun together. Then Wednesday I went to the gym and quickly to the grocery store to get home in time for early dismissal on the last day of school. Emma came home first and was quite happy, then Lily and she was happy too. Then the three of us waited for Brandon. One of my favorites is when we can hear all the buses honking as they leave the parking lot but our neighbor across the street had music playing loudly so we could barely hear it. I was sure he was going to be sad because he really loves his teachers but he was fine. I played What Time is It each time a kid got home and had a little dance party and I had drumsticks ...

 What a week this has been. Brandon's minor league had playoffs. His team has been very good and consistent this season so I figured we were in for some good games and it turned out to be so. Tuesday was the first one and they won 14-3 so they got to play Thursday against a team they had lost to by one run previously, but this time we won 8-2. Brandon hit a double and got two RBIs and then he pitched the last inning and struck two kids out. It was a great game for him and so fun! So that meant he got to play in the championship game Saturday and it was quite a game. There was so much back and forth and good hits and awesome plays and I was on the edge of my seat the whole game and in the end we won by one run, 11-10. It was intense and fun and I was so proud of the kids on the team. They are all really nice boys and the parents are all super supportive and his coaches are just the most positive coaches I've ever seen. Even when the kids totally messed up, Coach Jason would find...
