Week in Review...the week Carrie moved:(

We bought a car from a neighbor friend on Saturday. It will be Ashlyn's car when she gets her license, we got it for a great deal and it's another blue civic! We love it! 

We helped the Pauls load up their truck on Friday and Saturday and said goodbye. It was a fun 3 years and 4 months, but they are off to Boise, Idaho! We will miss them.

I ended up getting all A's for my first semester of school! Yay! Now I get a short break until May 17th when I will start summer school. 

We tried to take advantage of the time we had left with the Pauls...

Abby wrote a note to her aide in school to thank her for keeping her safe on the playground. See if you can decipher what she's trying to say....she's come a long way, but we have a long way to go. 

Mr. Walo-thank you keep people safe on the playground.

Week in Review...

 Abby went way out of her comfort zone yesterday and participated in a baseball clinic! I had Rick take her, thinking that she might do better with him. She was super nervous and wanted to turn around and go home as they were driving up, but eventually, he was able to coax her into participating. She had a blast once she got started!

Waiting in the dug out for her chance at bat...

Rick tried to get as far as he could from her, but not too far. 

Rick took the girls and Kevin out kayaking on Friday afternoon, they saw a beaver!

On Friday at school, it was the pirate day! Here I am with the teacher I work with...it was a fun day!

One of the kindergartners in our school has a dad who was on the show Survivor. I'm a huge fan of the show, so when she showed up wearing a survivor buff to school I had to get a pic!

Abby swinging with her friends at recess...

Haley and Kevin went to the Grand Canyon on Thursday, it was beautiful!

Here I am with all of the aides that I work with at school, getting yearbook pictures done!

Abby and her friend Nova have been making lots of forts lately...

Ashlyn looking cute in the clothes Kim gave her!

Jacob made this from our picture on wedding day...

Cute Ash..

Spending time at G and G Hahn's place on Saturday, we went swimming!

Haley came over on Friday night and got lots of hugs from everyone, we are going to miss her! There were lots of tears!

This week was honeymoon week for Haley and Kevin, they went go-kart racing, swimming, grand canyon, etc. They had a great relaxing week. They flew back on Saturday morning and got settled into their new apartment. 

On Tuesday I was able to have an IEP meeting for Abby, she qualified to receive special education services under emotional behavior. She will receive small group instruction in math, reading, writing, and emotional support. She had a 1 on 1 meeting with the Special education teacher on Thursday and at first, she was really nervous but in the end, she was telling her teacher all about gymnastics and gave her a big hug! She will start services tomorrow and will go every day for at least 30 minutes. I'm hoping that she will receive the help she needs and be able to phase out of the system within 3 years. That is the goal! I'm just so glad that she will be receiving emotional help because I've felt very helpless recently in seeing her anxiety skyrocket with all of the changes happening in our family. This is a great thing for her!
