hhmmm what's new with us..lets see....Mark successfully veto'd the hoa's new parking policy, well he organized a meeting and got everyone talking and turned out everyone was against it-so they did a re-vote. Take that hoa :) Josie is getting better and better at eating sleeping and pooping. Madelyn is giving a talk in primary tomorrow which will be interesting because she can't read yet and no one can understand what she is saying anyway. Yesterday I finished coaching at a soccer camp (thank goodness) and now mark can stop playing Mr. Mom. I had to laugh the other day when I came home and he had the baby in a front carrier, talking on his cell phone and making food in the kitchen for Madelyn. Also, Mark has been working non-stop on the basement so we hardly see eachother anymore - we were joking that we were strangers living in the same house!

Rose (something good)-I love hearing mark singing along to the radio in the basement!

Thorn (something bad)- Madelyn shoplifted for the first time (I hope it was the first time) from Hallmark at the mall. She was with her grandma and stole a little turtle charm they had by the cash register. When Mark and I found out we gave her the lecture on strealing and I took her to give it back and apologize. But as much as I tried to convey the seriousness of her crime to her I couldn't help but smile inside and think "our little girl is growing up"- like she had reached some sort of milestone! It was hard to get too upset anyway, she had confessed on her own...I'm pretty sure she felt guilty.

Bud (something to look forward to)-1. I have a 3v3 soccer tournament July 3,4,5 that I am really excited about...the winners of the tournament can go to the "big time" tournament in Vegas! Yep, still trying to relive the glory days!
Getting Josie on a schedule so she will sleep longer at night!
And the usual, camping with the fam at the end of the month!
