We've been back!

So we've been back from Sonora for a while now.  I don't know why it has taken me so long to post.  No excuses, just didn't feel like it.  The guilt has set in now though and I know I should be keeping my blog up to date.  So, Cali was a blast.  Wearing my achilles healing boot has been a lifesaver.  I couldn't have imagined many more days on crutches.  I was about to go insane being so dependent on others to help me with my responsibilities.  I had had enough of it.  I will forever know and have an appreciation for mothers of small children who are forced to used crutches because of an injury.  I luckily had a very supportive family to lean on and so my situation wasn't too bad (it was still very frustrating at times though).

The kids and I (and eventually Jay) really enjoyed the weather.  Grandpa Kent and Grandma Lois have a little wading pool that we used a handful of times during our visit (which meant that the weather was mostly sublime while we were there).  We enjoyed spending Easter with our family.  The kids participated in 4 easter egg hunts: 1) Sonora Public Library, 2) with the Day family,  3) at the Sonora United Methodist Church and 4) at the Hursky house.  They were all very fun!  We still have candy left over from these events.

 Aside from Easter we were able to visit my Hursky Grandparents (on my dad's side) in Merced, we celebrated Ronnie's 13th Birthday, we attended the Mother Lode Round-up Parade (always a good time), we had a big family and friend gathering at the Tipton property with all of our good friends from Turlock and spent a lot of quality time with both the Tipton and Hursky families.  It was a very cherished time that we had.  We are so blessed to have such wonderful people in our lives.

Since coming back to Utah, we have kept our selves pretty busy.  Hannah and Isaac have been able to join in on the end of their soccer seasons (first time ever playing for both of them) and are having an amazing time learning something new and meeting new friends.  I am so proud of both of them.

Hannah has joined back in with her preschool (Ms. Angela's preschool which she LOVES and will graduate from soon).  Isaac turned 4.  I can hardly believe it. We had a simple, low-key party with a few of his friends and it was a good time.

The weather is still very unspring-like here, have had snow and tons of rain since returning.  There is a T-storm abrewing as we speak.  Ah well, I know summer will be here soon, so I don't mind the rain every now and again.  We've just been loving life and enjoying each other as much as we can.  Jay is hitting the books hard everyday (as he should be) but enjoying all that he is learning and grateful for this opportunity (we all are).  Life is wonderful. So that's what we've been up to. Hope I didn't forget anything . . .
