A few things and Spring Break 2021

The week before school let out for Spring Break Tom celebrated Dr Suess week. He had a pajama day for the last day and we thought we should document his matching pjs and mask that I made him.

 We also had an award ceremony for the boys' soccer team. Jack and Luke both got to play on the JV team for their school Jack got the MVP award for the season. 

We had a relaxing Spring Break this year. It started with a trip to Miami so I could run in the Miami Sunset Ragnar Relay. Max and Jack and I drove down. They cruised Miami while I ran and then we drove home that evening. Long day! I earned a long shower and ice cream. 

Miami Lights on our drive out.

We played at the beach for a few of the days but it was a little chilly.

Tommy made a snow angel.

We spent a day exploring Wild Florida in Orlando. They have a drive through safari. we got to see a lot of interesting animals our regular zoo doesn't have. And a beautiful cypress grove.

We also stopped at an award winning chocolate shop (David Ramirez Chocolates) for some samples. 

Doug took Jack and Luke to the Sebring Speedway to see some car races and I took Tom and his friend to the Brevard zoo.

And we spent some time at the soccer fields. The weather has been so nice.

Bye for now

New car, new bed, and family fun

 

We bought a new kid car. Though it looks a little nice to be a kid car if you ask me. Jack and Max are LOVING it even though its not registered yet. The love going to Walmart together these days (this year). They went there tonight to get some pies for Doug to take to seminary tomorrow. He’s substitute teaching. He is enjoying his nice break from being a bishop.

Tom has a new bunk loft bed that he is loving. It was made by Sam and then handed down to Max. I cut it down shorter and took about 10 inches out of the width to size it down from a queen to a twin. I also gave it a fresh coat of paint. We are trying to get his epic playroom in order to take a pictures. I have many things in the works so the process is slow. I went bike riding for the first time at the Grapefruit trails today. They trails cut through the forest with jumps and climbs. They are very cool and it reminded me so much of the Alafia trails I ran in the middle of the night for my Ragnar relay last year. Here’s a pic of my friend Kristin next to one of the elements. We did not go down that one. Yikes.

Doug is looking for a property/house for us to buy so we can move somewhere with a little more land. It was what we were looking for when we moved before Thomas was born, we just couldn’t find it in time. He wants to get a bigger boat and an airboat and maybe have a place to pay paint ball. I’m looking for my own room to put all of my hobbies/jobs in. The walk-in closet just will not cut it much longer. And maybe I’ll get a couple of chickens for fun. Last week for FHE we made mazes. I snapped a pic because there was a lot of laughing going on and I wanted to remember it.

Also Max goes to the park a lot to play basket ball. Tom and I rode over with a snack and drink for them to share. Sweet moment.

That's it for today's update and how we are hanging now that Covid has been here a year. over and out!
