BUSY WEEK!!!
The past week has been too busy!!! I have decided I do not like 14 year olds, really I do not like them. They know everything. However, I found moments that remind me how much I love Tanner. After getting in much trouble Sunday night, I had the pleasure of shaving his head. It was therapeutic for me. We try to tolerate the "shag" look but once you misbehave the haircut gets shorter and shorter. So you can only imagine how much trouble Tanner was in to have his head shaved. Meanwhile, Taylor being on his best behavior since the clippers were already charged, made an amazing video of Jordan's ice show last week. Taylor has been busy making his portfolio for Spy Hop Productions this summer. He recently won first place at East HS for his photograph and numerous awards the past few months in other photo contests. Taylor has developed a wonderful talent in film and photo. He had a fun time at prom but I do not have any pictures yet because he left the camera in his friends car...Taylor had his end of the year Baseball Party for East. Playing baseball this year has been a great experience for the family. I am very, very proud of him. He broke his foot once but at the location of the pin Shriner's inserted a few years ago. He was still able to play. Tanner had an 8th grade awards night that I made him attend wearing a shirt and tie. He looked handsome but remember I was still mad at him. He earned the Principal's Excellence Award for his GPA of 3.5 or higher and also an art award for placing 3rd in a state wide art contest. I started to like him again...The highlight of the week was Thursday night. We took family photos and Tanner was so funny, I was crying. Thank you Carin for letting us invade your busy life!!! My dear friend from high school who is an amazing photographer took our pictures along with Taylor. Taylor was drooling over her cameras and loved every minute at her house. I can't wait to share the photos but it will take awhile since Carin is so busy. It was a long time our family was together outside an ice rink or baseball field...I loved Thursday night with the family. Meanwhile, Jordan pulled her IT band in her quad. It's very minor but we reduced her skating to one hour for the next few days. She started to jump today and tolerated the pain. Her physical therapist gives her a deep muscle massage that doesn't make her smile but it speeds up the healing process! Her first competition of the season is in three weeks. The kids have one more week of school that is filled with two graduations (Jordan and Tanner's) Taylor has a new job at the Sports Complex and Tanner will be my new companion till I can trust him again! I hope to attach photos in the next few days!

Happy Mother's Day!!!
We are having a relaxing morning. Aunt Missy and Jordan is in yoga. The boys are still asleep and Jason is cutting flowers for me. A little update on the family.
Jason: He is working hard and staying very busy at work. He is busy with baseball and umpiring games during the week. The East Side Babe Ruth organization is growing and having a successful season.
Tiffany: The past fews weeks have been so busy!!! Many baseball games and of course Jordan's skating schedule has kept me on my toes. This week the weather has been really warm, so I am starting to look hispanic again!
Taylor: He just finished his first season playing for East High Baseball. The team played amazing ball this past week. We are all recovering from the exciting games. The team did not make it to playoffs but it was an emotional last game for the seniors on the team. Tears were running down my face watching the senior boys hug their mom's! It was a moment I won't forget. Taylor broke his foot a few weeks ago but he has a pin inside the bone and is still walking around. He even pitched with the broken foot. He invited to a prom dance of a local high school. It's next weekend. This week we will get him all ready for the big event (with Aunt Missy's help). Taylor loves photography and filming. Next week we are finally taking family protraits. Taylor will be taking the photos of Jordan and Tanner.
Tanner: He is at the wonderful age of 14! Anyone that has experienced a 14 year old recalls how wonderful it is...Tanner has a few weeks at Clayton Middle School then off to East with his brother. He is playing baseball and having a terrific season. He is very excited to play ball with Taylor in the near future. (Taylor will be playing a summer and fall season with East. Tanner will hopefully join him in the fall.) He is really funny and keeps us laughing!
Jordan: She has a very busy week. Jordan is skating in a ice show, hosted by Salt Lake Figure Skating. She was asked to skate a solo and many group numbers. Jason is announcing. It will be busy but fun week. She is finishing her last weeks in elementary school!!! We start traveling next month. I plan to update her website soon. www.jordanking.us
Aunt Missy: Oh, life wouldn't be the same without Aunt Missy!!! She shares a part in this Mother's Day. I can't believe she has only been here for a year. I needed her much sooner! She is the best Aunt in the world. She stays busy at work and teaching Jazzercise!
I am new to this blog stuff but because our family is located in many different states, I thought this would be fun to share. So Aunt Sam, Karli, Mom, Cubby and Megan, Tom and Julie join in and start a blog!!! So far it seems easy! We need to see more photos and hear about each other!
