Last night was my 4th and final time of watching the "School House Rocks" musical at Eagle Springs Elementary. All of my kids have done this musical and Deacon was excited to have his turn. His class, Mrs. Zorkics class, sang two songs "Interplanet Janet" and "Interjections" He was the earth for the first song and was carried off the stage in the last song. He had fun playing the parts and did a good job!
Channing absolutely loves her birthday! She looks forward to it for weeks and then always counts down the hours! She had a soccer game the day before and scored a nice goal for her birthday weekend.
She was so excited to have a party with her friends. She invited some friends to come over to watch her favorite movie "The Parent Trap," have cake and ice-cream and do karaoke. She decorated the house by herself.
On her birthday morning we had breakfast and headed to church. During church she made sure to check the clock and let me know at 12:41 when she was officially 12 :)
Channing is such a light to everyone. She is happy and sunny and always wants to help others out. She is kind and always writing notes and thinking about how she can make other people happy. She loves Takis and sprite. She puts salt on everything! She plays the piano, sings in the school choir, plays on a soccer team, is an excellent student, does dance at school, and is in the youth presidency at church. She always stalls going to bed, she is constantly singing and has a beautiful voice and is so brave to share it often. She loves math and the color pink. She loves beanie boos and practicing calligraphy. Overall she is such a sweet soul and does not match the typical fiery personality that is associated with red heads. We sure love her and she is the best helper to everyone in our family! Here is to another year of our amazing Channing!
These past few weeks have been busy as all Spring is. Ella decided to cut her hair again and donated 12 inches!! It looks so cute and she is so brave!
Cavin is now 15 years old! We celebrated his birthday a few times and hopefully he felt loved and remembered! He had a party with his friends where they went to see the new Super Mario Bros movie. Then they came back to the house and played games and had cake and ice cream. He has a great group of friends, so he had a fun time.
On Friday, March 24, 2023 I had the Kidner procedure performed on my foot. I have had pain in my foot since the family reunion in 2021 when I sprained my ankle water skiing. I have an accessory navicular bone in my foot and when trauma hits the area it can cause chronic inflammation and unfortunately that was the case for me. The posterior tibial tendon was constantly inflamed no matter how much I would rehab or ice it. I would run on it then struggle to walk for a couple days and couldn't hike or go on long walks without pain. So, unfortunately the injury never healed and after 18 months of trying everything to heal it, the surgery was the best option. I decided to do it in March in hopes that the 8-10 weeks of recovery would be sufficient and I would be healed before the kids are out of school for the summer.
On March 16th I entered a new decade and turned 40. I have been dreading this day for a couple years. I have not been very excited about turning 40 and everything that goes with it. I hear often from my friends, well, now that you're 40 everything goes downhill from here. Well, starting it off a week later with foot surgery wasn't helping my excitement, but for a couple days I tried to enjoy celebrating another year of life.
