Disgrace to the Blogging World

I can't believe how horrible I have been at this blogging thing. (Still can't remember to take a picture of anything)

Here are the highlights of the Last month:

Brian and I went to the movies to watch "Marley & Me" We Loved it! I laughed So Hard and Cried So Hard. Too many similarities to our lives.

I went with a few friends to watch "Bride Wars". It was hilarious!

I have started seeing a new Doctor, Dr Jones. For the first time in a very long time, We feel hopeful. Brian and I have learned so many things in the last few months and are truly grateful that Dr. Jones has been willing to spend so much time and effort in helping us. One thing for sure, I am an absolute disaster.

Finished up the City Season of Boys Basketball. Both Boys did well and really enjoy playing basketball. Christian's Basketball Coach (Dave Spillett) created a pick-up team to play in some tournaments. Christian played a Tournament in Idaho Falls March 13th - 15th, in Shelley March 19th- 21st, in Marsh Valley March 27th - 28th, and this weekend will play in American Falls. It has been fun to watch Christian and his team. They are pretty good ball players. Team name is Chubbuck Raiders and they win some and lose some at each tournament. We are grateful that Christian is able to be involved with such a great group of boys.

Connor and Christian both had Straight A's on their Last report Cards. (and actually, they have both had straight A's this whole year). We are very proud! Christian was inducted into the Franklin Middle School National Honor's Society on March 18th.

Brian has been playing in some Golf Tournaments. No wins so far this year. He thinks he has not been able to play enough golf (I would disagree :)

March 23rd Brian and I celebrated our 7th Wedding Anniversary. Brian surprised me and took me to dinner at Ruby Tuesdays and booked us a suite at the Black Swan Inn - The Romeo and Juliette room. He even had a movie rented and made arrangements for the boys that night. Amazing!





Work has been insane. Not sure banking is the Happiest place to be right now ... Here is my office and where I spend the majority of my life :)

The Last thing that has kept us running is:

In May of last year, Christian, Connor, and I decided to take-over the Cleaning of the Masonry Center Office (this is where Brian works). Once a week, we clean this building and the majority of the money we earn is put in a Savings account for the Boys Mission's. Most of the time it is fun and we work together really well --- sometimes it is a disaster and I wonder why in the world we decided to do this :) We have a system and it works good, Connor is in charge is changing all the garbage and taking garbage out to the dumpster (there are 16 garbages) and he has to wipe down the showroom doors. Christian is in charge of scrubbing toilets (2 bathrooms) and vacuuming. I scrub the sinks and shine mirror and counters and I Mop all the floors. When we started it took us about an 1 hr and 15min to finish, we can now do it in about 30 minutes. Very Impressive!

What's next for the Atkinson's. BASEBALL! It starts in 1 week. Brian is the Head Comissioner this year and Connor will be playing in the Bronco league and Christian will be in Pony League. We are excited and sure hope the weather starts cooperating :)
