Getting His "High Fives"

Going Home!!!!!

More Recital Pictures!

Here Comes The Sun

Alyssa did awesome at her recital. After fighting with her for a good 30 minutes she was ready to go. I am so proud of her. To see her up on that stage dancing was a miracle. I had tears almost the entire time. She looked to pretty and was really good at it. She did surprising well considering she didn't pay attention in class because, "she was in charge." Take a look at these pictures. They are priceless.

Trent's surgery is scheduled for Thursday, June 12th, which is next Thursday. I wasn't expecting it to be so soon. I don't really know if Trent comprehends what will happen. I don't think Brett and I even know. At least we won't have that long to worry about it.

An amazing thing happened Wednesday. As some of you know..... Trent was picked to be apart of the 8u Ola ALLSTAR team. Of course with his surgery he probably won't be able to play. I called the coach and told him about Trent and that we were excited and honored that Trent was chosen but he probably couldn't be apart of the tournament in late June. He told me to come to the meeting anyway and that Trent had earned his spot on the team and he deserved to be acknowledged. I went. And what happened at the meeting I didn't expect.

After the initial meeting was over the Coach asked if it was Ok to share about Trent. He did and then said that eventhough Trent was having surgery and probably couldn't play he is still An ALLSTAR and named him the TEAM CAPTAIN. I was practically in tears. That was so nice of the Allstar coach.

On another note......

Trent has been at Alyssa's school this week. He doesn't really want to go, but what can I do... Yesterday the director called and said that Trent was complaining of a stomach ache and that he said "It must be my heart." I spoke with him on the phone and asked him if he was alright to stay or did he need to go. He said that he didn't want to leave because they were going swimming. I just figured that he didn't want to be there. Later on that night I asked him if his stomach was better.... then he asked me..."Mom, what if I wake up during the surgery, or what if I don't wake up at all.?" At that moment I realized that it is his nerves that are making his stomach hurt. My poor baby.

Summer is finally here. It was nice this morning to be able to drop both kids off at the same place and get to work early. Trent is at Alyssa's school for most of the summer which she thinks is neat.

Still no exact date for Trent's surgery. Hopefully we will hear something later today or tomorrow. I wish they would hurry so we can plan some stuff for the summer.

I can't remember if I blogged about this or not... But Trent was asked to be apart of the Ola Allstar Baseball team. He is excited. The 1st tournament is the last weekend in June. He would be able to play those games, but if they advance to the next level he wouldn't be able to play because of his surgery. So I guess it will be up to the coach. I wouldn't want Trent to take a spot knowing that he wouldn't play into the next round. But I hate that he will miss this opportunity too.

Alyssa has her ballet recital this weekend. I am alittle nervous. I just hope she attempts to do her dance. She has been so good at school for the past few months except on Wednesdays. She has ballet on Wednesdays and her card gets pulled during class. They said that she wants to do "her own thing" and not the routine. Last Wednesday I said, "Alyssa be good today for the ballet teacher. It is your last class." She replied, "I'm in front." Oh that's great, I thought. Then she said, "I'm in front because I'm in charge." "No honey, your not in charge. That is why you get your card pulled. You have to listen to the teacher and do what all of the other kids do." Oh! I can't wait until Saturday.
