My House Is A Mess!

Ok just a quick post! I am going nuts with my house this messy! Getting ready for a garage sale, selling stuff on craigslist and moving has made my house MESSY! A little mess is fine, but this is crazy! I almost lost Kalob's music for dance in a box already! Not sure if I can handle my house like this for 3 more weeks! LOL!!

We Are Moving!

Yep we are moving! My hubby went to pay our rent and noticed a for sale sign in front of our landlords house. I thought that was kinda funny so Steven called. But we never heard back. So he kept calling. Finally we got a return call from our landlord. They are selling their house cause they can't afford it. So they need to move into the house that we are in! Ok, talk about stress! But my friend Charai called and told me that her friend was moving to Las Vegas and that they needed renters for their house! We went and checked it out. It is smaller then our house now but so cute! It has a garden in the backyard and lots of grass! It is painted really cute too! We decided after looking at other houses and lots of prayers that we would take that house. They even worked with us on the deposit! I am so excited actually! We will be in a better ward too! The ward we are in now is not very welcoming! My friend will be in the ward and Kalob will have friends there too! It is 20 minutes farther away from Kalob's school but we will take him anyway! It's his last year of elementary school and I want him to be with his friends! A lot of Kalob's dance friends live in the same community too! So I will be closer to my friends as well! YAY! We are losing a lot of space but gaining so much more emotionally! Now we are going through EVERYTHING! We are going to have 2 garage sales to get rid of stuff we don't need anymore! It feels good to go through papers and shred a lot of junk! So we will be very busy this month!

I will update when I get the chance! Hope everyone has a perfect September!

1 More Day and Eric's Off To College!

Look at my little guy! That was so very long ago! I can't believe tomorrow is the day! We take Eric to his dorm tomorrow! He has everything he needs thank goodness! His dorm is furnished! He has a brand new bed, mattress, and desk! I guess that's what happens when you are an honors student! He has a 2 room dorm that he shares with 3 other people. There is a bathroom that separates the 2 rooms. I thought we were going to have to get a Uhaul! But we don't! So he will have his stuff here when he visits, hopefully every weekend! I know, yeah right! He will only be 30 minutes away so I know we will see him often! He has plenty of food and school supplies! I am going to miss him so much! I cry just thinking about it! He was smart and only has classes Monday through Thursday! The little stinker has a 3 day weekend every week! But that means he can come home a day early! HEHEHEHE!

Eric, I just want you to know how very proud I am of you! You have worked so hard over the last several years to get where you are now! I know what ever your dreams are they will come true! Remember to call us when you need anything! We will be there in a heartbeat! Be good and work hard! Know that I love you with all my heart!
XOXOXO!!!

School, Dance and Disneyland!

School has started for Kalob! He is now a 6th grader! His last year in elementary school! We had a few situations with bullies already! But it seems like his teacher this year will not put up with any of that crap! I really hope he has a better year than last year when it comes to bullies! One of them already tried to smash the foot that had the broken ankle! He has had his boot off for about a month and for some little brat to do that really pisses me off! If he had done something bad to Kalob's foot boy would he be in a world of trouble and so would his parents!

Dance starts this week! Kalob is real excited! I am too! We bought him jazz and tap shoes this weekend for his new classes. He tried on a lot of shoes! But when he put on the tap shoes that fit it was funny how they just seemed to work for him. I know he is nervous about taking new classes cause he's all hip hop but I think it will be good for him to take these too. He wants to teach and be in shows when he is older so he wants to know more types of dance then hip hop.

Disneyland here we come! Kalob is performing at Disneyland! We are so excited about it! He will either perform at California Adventure or Disneyland! Then he gets to learn from Disney choreographers and perform for them! They tell the kids what they need to work on to work for Disney later! They also get a DVD of the performance as well! This is a once in a lifetime experience! Thanks to Kylee and all her hard work this is possible for him! I can't even believe it! So the next few months are going to be very busy for us while he prepares for this! Then we get to go to Disneyland for three days! I can't wait! Disneyland is my favorite and I've never been to California Adventure so that will be fun too! Plus seeing Kalob in a Disney stage makes it 1000 times more fun!

Eric starts college this month. But I am not ready to write about that just yet cause I know I'll cry. So I will post more later! Hope everyone has a great week!

FBLA!

My Eric has been gone for a whole week! He was in California for the FBLA National competition! FBLA stands for Future Business Leaders of America! He won 1st place in the state competition here which of course qualified him to go to NATIONALS! I am so proud of him! He got to go to Disneyland for 2 days, Catalina, and Medieval Times! He even got to see the new Transformer movie! I am so jealous! LOL! He won 7th in the Nation for Global Business! We got to watch the awards ceremony last night live on the internet! It was so cool seeing him win the award! We picked him up from the airport today! I can't believe what a wonderful young man he has become!
He didn't even spend all the money we gave him! LOL!! Which is a big accomplishment! One of the girls in his group spent all the money her parents gave her the first 2 days and they had to wire her money! He even brought home souvenirs for everyone! I love mine! He got me Tinkerbell notebooks and a really cute magnet notebook for the fridge! The trophy he brought home is amazing!
Congratulations Eric! We love you!

Eric's Graduation!

I can't believe Eric has graduated high school! I am so proud of him!
We got to the arena at 12:00pm but we weren't allowed in till 1:00pm. It was pretty hot out there but at least we were one of the first ones so that we got great seats! We needed to save a whole row of seats, so Steven ran ahead of us to save them. Security had to check purses and Kalob still has his boot on for his broken ankle so we were going slow. The security people told us that we could only save seats till 1:50pm! People were waiting for our seats! But everyone got there on time! Phew! I was nervous about that! I was afraid we weren't going to be sitting by our family! But it all worked out! Then graduation started! Eric stood out from most of the class because of all the honors he has received! He had medals, a NHS stole, and a gold rope as well. There were over 700 kids in his class! I didn't realize there were that many kids! But the school was smart and had 2 lines going at the same time! It was so emotional for me! My first baby to graduate! I can't believe I am now a mom of a college student! After graduation we took a lot of pics of Eric with friends and family! It was pretty hot outside but I didn't even care! We then went to Chili's! My sister Chelsea works there! So we all got yummy food and celebrated with Eric! We stayed and hung out for quite a while! It was then time to get Eric home so he could get ready to go to parties! He had a lot to go too! He even had some on Sunday! It was such a wonderful day! I am in awe of Eric and all he has accomplished in only 17 years! I can not wait to see what he does next!
