Here it goes

Hey how are all of our friends and family doing? I have been told many times that I needed to create a blog. I kept using the I don't have any time excuse. Well its summer break and YES I do have a little extra time on my hands so here it goes.

Life in the Bailey house continues to keep us hoppin. Brett is playing on two softball teams this summer. He loves playin ball. I wonder where Chase gets it? He plays on a work co-ed team as well as a friends men's team. Honestly put him out in left field and he will catch anything. He is still working but summer tends to be a little more slow in the life of an accountant (thank goodness for that).

I just finished another fabulous school year. HE HE!!! Wow those junior high kids really do start getting to you come May. I put my application in for a vice principal position. Things aren't looking so good this year. With budget cuts and district positions being eliminated, there aren't any new positions available. I just continue to keep hoping. If not I have to be grateful that I have my job teaching. Don't get me wrong I enjoy teaching. I am still trying to recover from knee surgery. It is amazing how quickly you loose what you've worked so hard to gain. Unfortunately due to doctors orders I am unable to run and races this summer. I had several in mind and had to cancel. It has been extremely hard to watch my friends train. I wish I was right there with them. Oh well I WILL be ready next year.

Amanda just finished her first year of junior high school. We are so proud of her and the grades she received. Her cumulative GPA is right around a 3.8. SIS you rock!!!! We also signed Amanda up for soccer this fall. She is excited but a little nervous. This will be her first official season on the field. She loves hanging out with friends, going to the district shopping and texting (the typical teenage girl things).

Chase made it through the 4th grade with flying colors. He will be sad to lose his teacher. She was amazing. He loves being challenged. His only problem is that he has a difficult time paying attention. He is a little chattie child. I guess you could say he got that from his mom. Chase loves sports of all kinds. Really, what 10 year old boy spends his tv time watching sports center. Chase decided to play another year of comp. soccer this coming fall and spring. He tried out a few weeks ago. He made the premiere team. With a lot of hesitation and the desire to play basketball this winter he decided to play down a level. He is excited and can't wait to hit the field once again.

We are hoping to vacation a little this summer. Our trips will be close to home. I will have to keep you posted. Well that's it for now. I plan to keep this updated. I guess we will see how it goes.
