Same 'ole, . . . time is going by way to fast! I wish I could make time stop, you know, make it slow down a little. But its darn impossible! Kid's are growing so fast! They change, they test your buttons, they love you, .. and yet i can't seem to enjoy it as much as its worth!
Ashton's basketball season is over! Just when I wondered, .. how much longer?!! And it felt like the beginning when tryouts were in November of last year! Anticipating him being on the freshman team, to screaming and cheering at games, to being frustrated in hopes that they win the next game, to being hopeful that he starts a game, to sigh and wonder when it would end....It's different to see him home all the time when he had practices 6x a week. Now, you find him joining us at the gym in hopes he gains strength and stamina for next season.
Bobby.. sigh! What can i say? He sprained his ankle coaching the our boys with basketball. Correcting techniques, breaking bad habits, improving their game to only find himself rolling his ankle. Um, .. yeah.. to bad he wasn't wearing his basketball shoes when he stepped on Troy's feet. 
Troy,.. this transition has been well. I think he's slowly finding himself in school. Realizing that school and education isn't really difficult. He's been hanging out with us in the gym at 24Hour for nearly 2 months now. And amazingly with hard work, and an easy change of his eating habits, he's lost 15 pounds!
The princess. Sometimes I wonder if she's really 6 years old - more like 6 going on 21! She's beyond independent and knows what she likes or does not like. This year, we put her ballet shoes away, and bought cleats for tee ball! Practice starts tomorrow!
And myself? I told myself I would not but any clothes. BUT I needed jeans. I really had to retire the 3 jeans I've owned for 3 years. (Hence, i only own 4 jeans and now its just 3 because i only replaced 2.) Anyhow, do you realize how hard it is to find jeans? I was hoping to head back into the store and but the exact jeans I'd retire. Unfortunately they don't make those jeans anymore. So the hunting began. And it was painful! 7 jeans, citizen of humanity jeans, gap jeans, joe jeans, etc.. but the ones that did fit and like- I sure wasn't planning on paying almost $200 for one pair! (How can i justify paying that much when it cost as much as a 5 day hopper ticket to Disneyland!). SO we walked into the levis store, and I thought, what the heck, I've never owned a pair, i'll try them on. But when you are petite, a mid-rise jean does not fit well! The sales person suggested i try on some 'skinny' jeans. And i told her, "oh no! I'm not fitting my short legs in skinny jeans!! and tapered? no way!" But she insisted and what she called 'skinny' wasn't so skinny as i thought. It was 'skinny' jeans with a boot leg. ... and they have become my favorite jeans!.... ... I know.. i have no life ;)....
