April 2008

Hello family! Well, it looks like I almost missed the entire month of April, but I am finally posting something. The boys have been off track for the last month and just went back to school this last Monday. Shane had a great 12th birthday, we kept it pretty small, he invited a friend over and we had birthday cake. Thank you to all of you for your birthday wishes for him.

Kevin is ready to make his First Communion this Saturday, and we are looking forward to seeing most of our "local" family members to celebrate. He is very excited, although he said the sip of wine was "gross" when he went to a practice run last weekend.

We all went to the rodeo in Norco a couple weeks ago. The boys had a great time, although I am convinced those bull riders are crazy. We got to see barrel racers, bronco riders, bull riding and calf roping.

We took the boys to the Superbike races at California Speedway last weekend. These bikes race at around 200 mph, so the boys thought it was great. It was supposed to be unbearably hot, but we ended up with some cloud cover, so it turned out to be a really fun time.

Finally, I got a replacement for my street bike, which we sold last year. I know most of you are not "bikers", but I am really excited with my new ride. I am now the proud owner of a 2006 Triumph Thruxton, and it is really pretty. I have only had it out twice, but it is soo much fun, and I am looking forward to Tim and I being able to get out for some Saturday rides in the near future. Also, I have taken assessment tests to go back to school to get my AA (for now) and I managed to qualify for college level classes, Yay! Tim is working hard, and looking forward to taking the boys out camping in the next couple of months. We cannot wait to see the Nazzaros, Wells, and Laytons in June. We are really looking forward to it. Love you all.
