Getting near the end of the school year.

Well it's getting near the end of the kids school year. Timothy has been taking gymnastics for most of the year. It didn't start out that way but I heard the teachers telling me that he was disappointed that he couldn't go with most of the rest of the kids. So I got him signed up for it. I didn't really know what he was doing to much because Timmy really wouldn't say and I didn't see his gymnastics teacher till about a month or so ago.

Ok back on topic. It is near the end of the school year and Timothy had his gymnatics show to show us what the kids had been doing and how well they were doing. I was pretty suprised to see him proforming so well. He was doing somersault's and bends on the mat with the other kids. He seems to like it really well so I am going to sign him up again next year for it as well.

Samantha was really excited at being there and I was going to sign her up for gymnastics as well at her school but apparently that fell through. She wanted to do what Timothy was doing. I am looking forward to swim lessons this summer for the two kids but not the hectic schedule that I will be on even more.

Pictures are from the proformance it was with a Mexican Fiesta theme.

Long Day for the Jenkins at the power company.

I took the kids up to Prescott on Saturday, yesterday, for a very long day of events for us. Alex Clawson was graduating from Embry-Riddle Aeronautcial University after 4 years with a degree in engineering...woot.. congrats Alex. We left the apartment at about 8am. After we got to Prescott we meet Jolene up there in time for the graduation ceremony. The kids did very well though the two hours for it. Then we had a light lunch and went to the dog park and hung out while the two dogs that Jolene brought played for a while. Then we picked up Dave Clawson and we went out to lunch at the Outback Steakhouse. There was lots of laughs and sharing of food while we were there. Then after a brief break at the hotel room where Dave and Jolene were staying we were off back to Phoenix to pick up Grandma Bess from the airport. After a short mixup...apparently the info she gave me had changed and the two airlines that she gave me that she was supose to be coming in on was at two different terminals. So after figuring out that she was at the other terminal and a different flight number we picked her up and took her home and then went home ourselves. Kids finally got to bed about 10:30pm with a nap on the way back from Prescott.
