Andrew is playing almost every weekend Friday and Saturday night and practicing once a week with his band so he has been really busy and really tired. For Cinco De Mayo he played 3 shows in one night! The band (Kung Fu Grip) is about to go in to do some recording to have a demo to give clubs and what have you... Apparently there is some money to be made in being a cover band. Andrew would love to just play music and not work a "real job" BUT we do still have bills to pay and shoes for me to buy so that is not happening anytime soon :)
Cameron is about 10 days away from being done with the 5th grade and I am pretty sure he cannot wait to be out of school for the summer. Cameron leaves the 24th to go to Connecticut and we have decided to let him stay for 6th grade in Connecticut. It was not an easy decision but one that we have been thinking and talking about for at least the last 6 months. He is wanting to be with his dad and while it kills me maybe this will be good for him. I spent a few weeks crying just thinking about him not being in Arizona with me but as time has gone I feel better about our decision and I am looking forward to the benefits of switching schedules with Michael. I will get to have Cameron at Christmas which hasn't happened in like 5 years and obviously summer when I can plan fun vacations for us to go on as a family. Plus this totally gives me an excuse to go visit my friends that I still have back east.
Zeland will be 3 in a week! Where in the world has the time gone!?! I absolutely do not want him to grow up! We have busy couple weeks but will be celebrating Zelands birthday with the Stropka's and a few others at Chuckie Cheese. We will celebrate in Cottowood with the grandparents next weekend. Pretty low key just the way I like it and Zeland is pretty low maintenance so I am sure he will be happy with whatever. Personally I try and hold off on the bunch of stinking kids running around parties as long as possible. :)
and that leaves me...actually I am pretty boring just working alot and doing the mom stuff not much to report. I have been working a ton of overtime to cover co-workers vacations. Speaking of vacations I took some time off at the end of this month with a plan to go visit my brother in Tennessee but due to conflicting schedules and ridiculously high airline tickets we decided not to go so Z and I are going to take advantage of my time off and go to California for a week! We are going to be staying with my bff Kira in Long Beach with a side trip to Santa Barbara. We are just going to relax,go to the beach and the aquarium in Long Beach...sounds amazing right?! I also had an amazing Mother's Day despite having to work my boys brought me lunch and presents including....

You're back!!! And you look great :) A new camera sounds like an excellent reason to start blogging again.
What a tough decision, but I think Cam will enjoy the time with his dad. And yes, I'm jealous about your trip to Cali AND Z's birthday party with his grandma's. Have fun!
So glad you are back blogging. I have really missed your blogs. Looks like you have a great new camera. Can't wait to see it.
Wow, great way to get back into blogging with a new camera!
