Today was a GREAT day.....

Ok, so first off.... the weather is finally cooperating for the most part! YAY Gallatin Valley! It's warm enough to actually wear shorts, go bike riding, go to the beach, etc. Awesome! It can't get much better than this.... and the last two nights we've had thunderstorms so we have had rain.....

Today, we registered Lexi with the Belgrade Intermediate School. The principal saw Lexi's Iowa Basic Test scores and her schoolwork/tests from the 4th grade this past year and is going to put her into 5th grade. She even let Lexi go into her best friend/cousin Saylor's class. So that was a huge plus and Lexi is beyond excited! Her new teacher is Mrs.
Stavnitski.

I've had a pretty long list of "to do"s to get ready for our long summer vacation and think I've gotten almost all of it done. A few loose ends, but otherwise... ready.

I go back to work this Thursday and Friday night at the theater... It's only been a month but it feels so much longer than that!

We found out today that my niece, Katrina, will be coming back up with my parents on Sunday and she'll get to stay with us until we go to Colorado....

I've got to finish working on our family book for Mariah and Ang, so I better get this closed...

I probably won't be on here again until after the Fourth, so Happy Independance Day!

Rain.... Dreary Rain...

Ok, so I KNOW I should be thankful and overjoyed that we should have a mild summer as far as forest fires go.... BUT this rain is killing me! I am sitting here in long pants, long sleeve shirt, a sweater and I'm still cold.... and it's the second week in June!

Al Gore should come visit Montana.... he might rethink this whole "global warming" nonsense if he were freezing here in June! :-)

Anyhoo... the girls are done with school and Mommy is sooo thankful! It was a long school year for me. We still haven't received Lexi's standardized test scores and I'm a little frustrated with that. She passed with A's & B's.... Beka did really great too....

The girls and I had a lazy weekend. It was really nice. We went to the Soup Shack aka The Garage for lunch with my parents on Saturday.... yesterday after KMotion practice we ran to the store and I rented two movies from Redbox. Can I just say that "He's Just Not That Into You" was a TERRIBLE show! Yuck! I've started watching "Revolutionary Road" and not sure what I think of it yet.....

I think we have our trip a little more organized now. The girls and I will leave on Friday, July 31st to head to Parachute, Colorado to visit with my sister, Dwayne and Mena Moo. We'll stay about a week and then head from there to Cole Camp, Missouri to visit with Momma, Memom and PapaDad. I'll stay a couple days and then I'll leave the girls and head to Mississippi to visit some friends.... The beach and I will hopefully become very good friends! :-) I'll stay there a bit and head back.... a LOT of driving but I am very much looking forward to it!

Life is rolling along..... I can't believe it's already June!
