Stupid Graduation.

Ok here is a venting blog. I had my parents get me a flight a few weeks ago so kyler and i can go home for blakes graduation, and can also make some money cleaning their house. so we booked from the 19th-31st of may. We were trying to make sure i got back intime for kyler's daddy to spend some time with him on his birthday. However now we find out that MISSION IS DOING STUPID GRADUATION ON SUNDAY THE 31st. Ok so my flight leaves at like 11:30 and we actually get into SLC at 1 when graduation starts.

now this wouldn't bother me so much but the only reason they are doing this is because its softball state on saturday. Ok now still not so bad i can understand this but........ there are only like 16 real students from mission graduating and like 9 foriegn exchange students. So really how many of them are on the stupid softball team.......BLAH. Not only that but if softball is still the way it was when we were in high school they don't even have to really play well to get to state basically every team gets to state because there aren't enough teams. BLAH... and yet another BLAH for good measure. why didn't they decide to do it on a weekday as this is also memorial day weekend. BLAH BLAH BLAH...... Where is picard to tell them this stuff to make them see reason. Of all the authority in the school at least he had somewhat of a logical mind. The worst part of this whole thing is is that it was scheduled for saturday before.

So now i'm trhing to switch flights or rather my dad is trying to see if he can switch my flight and hoping to ge able to stay at least to see my brother walk in and hopefully get to see the whole graduation. If not We'll i guess i'll have to have him get his gown on and take a picture with him anyway.

Some of our easter pics

no re-update but a new one.

Well i'm not going to get the pics up from last month. And honestly probably not this month either but... here is a new update. We are doing good after a few draining weeks. The weather here hasn't been to great the last few weeks but we are starting to see the sun now. And it seems that everything is starting to fall into place. Lets see...

Frist off we are in the middle of refinancing our house we should be closing next month. We are droping a whole point off our original rate so we are excited about that.

Easter- It was kyler's first easter and i was so excited for it and then the sick bug struck. Kyler and kurtis were sick starting the friday before easter and lasted until the end of last week. Kurtis didn't end up able to get out of bed so kyler and i had easter by ourselves. Kyler seemed to be more excited about the plastic eggs we had all around the room than he was about his basket. He loved dying eggs. Actually i think it was that he loved the vinager water on the eggs. We would get done dying an egg and he would put it directly into his mouth lick it off and when it was all liked off he wanted another one.

Our new obbsession seems to be Settlers of catan the game. We played it with kurtis' aunt and uncle a few weeks ago since then we bought it and try to play it as much as we can. we are however very competative about it.

yard work. Kurtis' new job as a bountiful irrigation guy has seemed to give him a new wind in fixing the sprinklers in our yard. So saturday we spent most of the beautiful day out side. Starting with Kacie's soccer game at 8:30 then we came home and started to fix the yard took a trip to lowes and the gardening store. Kyler and i were working in the back yard moving around some rocks round our trees we are fixing the lanscaping that the previous owner did to make it a little more friendly for us to take care of. Kyler had a lot of funn out side. We also have been taking a lot of rock walks. We pick up rocks to add to our back yard. While we were doing that kurtis fixed our blowout valve and started to figure out our sprinkler system. However we are still working on that. The sistem doesn't seem to run on our timer so we have to figure out where we can start it from. the ones in the back yard are fine but the font don't seem to work.

On other news. I'm trying to get fit agian. I need to lose about 20 lbs. to get back to my prepregnancy weight so i'm trying to do it by walking. Kyler and i take a walk everyday. Today i think we're going to walk to costco and shopko to pick up the thinks on our list and then come home it should be a few miles no biggy. Am so glad i can say that now. becuase when i first started it was a lot to walk round our block i was so out of shape. But now we jog it most of the way. So we'll keep you all updated on how it goes.
