I am trying...

I am going to try and atleast update my blog once a month that is my goal. I have been so busy lately that it is hard to find time to sit down and use the computer to just blog. I do use facebook which seems to be faster for me to just pop in leave a quick note and scram so if you use facebook let me know and I will add you :)

So what has been happening in our little part of the world. I am still working at running the daycare. I am down to only have two girls right now, but this summer I am lookng at having 5-6 kids woo hoo I am crossing my fingers cause money is so tight everywhere right now. Jason is working in spokane so it has been hard on Jaydin me and myself cause he is gone all week and only home on the weekends. It is starting to wear really thin on my nerves now too. Jaydin is doing great in school and now is involved in Kick Boxing with the parks and rec department. It is a 6 week course and if he still ikes it afterwards then we will sign him up with the dojo (I think that is how you spell it).

SCA life is happening again. Tournament season has started and we have already been to 3 events and have been having fun. Two of the those events we camped and froze our touchies off but we had alot of fun. The past event we went to was in Waitsburg, Wa and they had the Youth Armor Combat tournament and Jaydin particiapted in it. He fought against 5 other kids his own age and some a year older and he won the tournament. So he is now the Canton of Akornebir YAC Champion. He is so excited with this title and is looking forward to going back next year to defend his title.




Jaydin all suited up and ready to fight. He just built his own sword for this tournament out of 3/4 inch rattan and pipe insulation for some padding. I dont know how the boys do this.. cause it hurts when you get hit.. but he loves it!

fighting on the field, Jaydin is the one with his hand behind is back, He was hit in the arm so he looses the ability to use that arm, so no shield to help block the hits

Jason (known as Rowland in the SCA) helps Jaydin with his armor. Making sure that everything is tight and on right!

Jaydin is growing up so fast that it is scaring me at times. We went to the gas station the other day and was standing outside with me while I pumped the gas. I went around to wash the windows when the pump stopped and he looked at me and said do you want me to round it up mom, I was like sure if you think you can...and he did.. I know he is old enough to do it being 9 and all but still.. my little boy is not a little boy anymore. He helps out so much around the house and even though he hates cleaning he still helps me out. I LOVE YOU JAYDIN !!

Other news on the homefront.. Brooke and Matt are moving back to Colorado. Infact Matt is already back there and Brooke is heading there this week. My mom is going to be going back with her and stay for a week or so to help her get situated and to help with Gavin. Gavin wil be going to daycare and mom is going to take him in every day for an hour so he can get to know the ladies that work there so he wont be scared. Mom is sad that they are moving again and have to be there for 2 years , but I am sure there will be lots of caming on the computer and trips to colorado for my parents to see their grandson and Brooke and Matt of course too..lol

Ok that is all I have for now :) Take care everyone and We love you!
