When I was growing up I remember my Nana saying that time flew when you were old. I didn't think I was that old, but I don't know where this past school year went. It really did fly by. I can't believe the boys have already been out of school for 19 days. Taylor is in summer school (his choice to get ahead) taking a science class that was offered to incoming freshman so that they would be able to take more advanced science classes earlier and more of them if they choose to. Taylor is the only one in the class that is an incoming freshman all the rest of the kids are retakes from last year. He is counting down the days until it is over. Even though he chose to go it is a really long day for him. The class goes from 7:25 am until 1 pm. He has an hour break and then he is off to SPA (Summer Performing Arts) from 2:30-6:30pm. His group is performing Bye Bye Birdie this year. He also has a summer mowing job, so Taylor is keeping himself very busy this summer. When he is not going to school or SPA he is playing basketball in the driveway.
Marshall is working at JCPennys this summer, and playing soccer. He ended up having a great track season after all of the cancelled meets. He was able to vault 13'. That is a foot and a half higher than last year. He won the Gerrells meet here in town and qualified for state. He took 6th at state with a 13' jump! This is a video of his 12'6" jump, I guess I missed the 13' jump.
Summer? I hope we do get some summer weather soon. We have only hit 80 degrees one day so far and the next day the high was 57 and has not reached 60 since.
I was so excited to plant some bulbs last fall. I love tulips so I planted white tulips and purple hyacinths around the trees in our backyard. I was anticipating a beautiful garden of flowers this spring, but every time I looked at them the leaves were broken off. I kept getting mad at the boys for running over my flowers. One day I examined them more closely and come to find out the bunnies had eaten them. I was so mad, and even madder to find out that my nice neighbor feeds them. So much for my flower garden.
