Busy April and May!

We have had a busy month.
We have been here and there and everywhere. I am glad that we am home and we can get back in the swing of things, the routines and all. Last week we had spring break.
Mike started an insurance company, and he is doing awesome, he will be certified soon. It has been a lot of long days with my two buddies and not a lot of daddy and husband time.
We have almost concluded a session of learning to skate. The kids are doing great. I have met a lot of awesome hockey moms and they are so sweet to my little family. Hailey really seems to like it, and Ryker is getting more comfortable on the ice. He is still wearing his hockey gear EVERYWHERE, and getting all sorts of awesome comments. Hailey started skating backwards last night, it was great to see her and feel her confidence.
We went down to my sister in laws house and sewed capes for her little guys super hero party. It was a lot of fun.
I got some more of Haileys' quilt done, it's getting there.
I found some time to run. okay, confession, a lot!
I took the kids running today and at the end Ryker was pushing the stroller and ran it into the curb, wow, front wheel totally came off. I feel like my stroller is totaled. I am glad that we have a car and that we can still get around and that I have a treadmill. I hope it is an easy fix and will be ready for the 5k on Saturday.
We went to a funeral, of our dear former neighbor.
We all went Easter at Mike's parents, and had a lot of fun.
We went to a special event for Mike's family.
We went to Mike's work and had a picnic with him.
Hailey has learned to ride her big bike without training wheels, it is so cute. She goes really fast, it is kind of scary. She loves it.
I have done a lot of yard work, and if I don't say so myself, it looks awesome. I have already mowed the lawn, and another lawn in Orem. I sure love yard work, and the beauty of it all. I helped my sister in law with her yard, and she helped me mow the lawn, for her FIRST time ever. It was great to see that now she has the confidence to mow her lawn. It is sooooo rewarding!!!
We have went to the library, the dinosaur park, the nature center, and many grocery stores, and a few Costco's. It has been quite busy, but we all survived.
I know this is all just the daily stuff, but I am glad that we can come home, and relax. I have been stressed out, on getting here and there on time, and getting the kids to eat in between. I am tired of saying "please, listen to me" "please, be quiet" "please, hurry" "stop screaming" "be careful" and "please, go to sleep, it's time" "don't walk on the tile with ice skates, only carpet".
I am happier than I have been in a long time. I am getting there people, I am. It has been five months of exploring "me", but I am almost there. I am also more tired than I have been in a long time. I love being a mom, but wow, I am sure spent. I hope other moms feel this way.
Happy mothers day to everyone. I am grateful for my mom, and all that she did for me and continues to do. I love you so much. I am grateful for my California mom as well, man I love her and miss her.
