WILLIAMS MONTHLY UPDATE:
This month has been...well, it's just been.
It's been hard to focus as my friend has been fighting for
her life and trying to get back to her kids.
My heart has been ripped to not be able to go and be with her or help her sister.
My mind is never leaving her.
I've tried to imagine myself in her shoes,
her husbands shoes, her families shoes and
found that, although I'm not actually there in those real shoes...
they are not shoes I would ever want.
I don't want this for her:(, her kids, her husband
or...any part of life that touches her.
She is such a ROCK to them.
I have faith she will pull through but this has me unable to fully
commit and concentrate on another task.
MY KIDS-
This past week was a busy one.
They had track practice on Monday,
Football and cheer on Tuesday,
Track on Wednesday again and after an ice cream social (FUN!),
Thursday we were up early for an ALL DAY track meet
in the sun and heat then rush to football
and cheer...yeah that was a long day,
Friday we had to wake early for an early co-op class and then
Levi had to mow...his weekly job for a friend.
On Saturday we were up
at 4am to drive to their State Homeschool Meet which
we stayed all day again.
We returned home around 11pm.
You'd think I was done....nope!
We all wished we could sleep in BUT
Sunday was a very busy day as well.
Sunday we woke early...we had to have football,
cheer, and volleyball gear ready for the day.
First event for the day was the football game,
cheer came next and then volleyball.
Todd and I had to tag team the cheer and volleyball but
we got it covered.
After those LONGGGG few days we all just
relaxed for the evening.
Today, I let the kids sleep in until they woke up on their own
and school was very light.
HOW DID THEY DO?

Shot-she got 2cd, she threw a very long one at the end but
tripped and scratched the throw:(

100 dash- he got 3rd I think in this one.
200 dash-First place in this event.
He came in 2nd to the MVP in his age group:)
FOOTBALL NEWS:
Well, this new team seems to really be a great fit:)
We really like the people.
A couple weeks ago Levi probably had the best game I've seen him play.
It was really fun to watch!
The new skills he's learned at FBU has really helped.
Hannah did a Football Jersey photo shoot with Levi...
here are some of my favorites:)
FIlm crew:)
VOLLEYBALL NEWS:
I got a call from a club the other day asking for Kainah to play with their team
for their last game at a big national venue. She was excited! In tears excited!
I called a V-ball college girl we know and asked her if she could come to
brush her upon some skills.
She loved that:)
She had a great practice with the team but had a few disappointing
balls and got mentally down. All in all, the practice was good
especially since she was with girls 2 year older than her,
experience goes a long way sometimes but
she held her own. She got a call last night that made her sad.
Come to find out...
the paperwork must be in to register a player 12 or 14 days before a game.
So, Kainah is not able to play at the tournament:(
No worries...it has gotten us thinking about volleyball again!
AND RESEARCHING CLUBS!
NATIONAL TRACK MEET:
Hannah is going to the Homeschool national track meet.
Her events are Shot,100 dash, 200 dash, and 4X1.
She's excited to go alone with her team.
Results soon!
CHEER NEWS:
Rebekah got cheer leader of the week.
She has her round off back hand spring...
sometimes she gets scared and thinks
she can't but then I spot her and she gets it back.
Some of her cheer friends:)
SCHOOL NEWS:
Hannah is almost done with her first semester of DUAL CREDIT.
I'm so proud of her and her grades!
As far as our school....We are basically done.
We will be doing some school throughout the summer but main school is finished.
FUN PICTURES:
Hannah and Kainah....

Hannah posted this...I think she's right on track:)
Easter getting ready to play some b-ball
I can't believe I didn't tell you guys this...
Yep, the fire truck came by our house for a "real call".
Good bye tree house.
Insight....Ummm.
We've been down this road before...
That's something I've thought this month when
something came up that someone should have gotten..
someone was very deserving to get...
worked very hard to get and was passed up.
So, I try to rummage through my mind and pray for
wisdom of what helped this person before.
I think, not from my help, this person has worked it out mentally just fine.
Thank you Lord because last time it was rough going:)
On another note, I'm also trying to stay in and out of a special something.
This something is making someone in my family smile and bouncy, lol.
Sometimes I wish that "special somethings" would 'just say it already'
because my someone is old fashion but could use it...
And now I'm talking in code to myself...never a good thing:)
See what I mean about not being focused?
Sheesh~
Much to much on the brain.
And now I'm wondering...Since my friend was moved to out of ICU
she might be able to have flowers in her room now!
If had to encourage any of you today I would say...
today tell someone you care for how you feel.
Let them know.
After this whole thing with my friend...I can't stop thinking this.
Taking time out to sit with dad:) boy does she love that guy!
One of Levi's BIGGEST fans, PA!
Love you PA!
UNWIND:
Make every moment count!
