Bobcats and soccer...also a little bragging!

I know that it has been awhile since I last updated this, but life gets crazy. I have been filling in full time for a fifth grade class while there teacher is out on maternity leave. It took a few days to get into the swing of things agian ...but once I got going it all came back to me. Now my time in there is over next week. I keep trying to convince her that with only 7 days of school left after she comes back that I don't really mind sticking around the extra few days...she isn't falling for it. Oh well, I guess that will give me time to get things back in order here. The house has stayed fairly clean as EVERY weekend we have been doing open house's in hopes of getting a nibble. That and the thought that someone MIGHT do a viewing when were not around has kept us pretty good about keeping things tidy. The house has been listed now for about a month and we have had a few lookers, but our market is really almost non existant out here right now. The other day I did a count and there were 12 houses for sale just on our 3/4 mile street. In our develpement there are over 300 to pick from...not including all the new ones the builders are still popping out like crazy. The weather here has kicked up to our standard AZ temps. That is we have been in the 100's for the last few days and wouldn't see the end of them until we leave here.
Scott is coming to the end of the school year and has just amazed me every step of the way. Last week he finished up a week of testing to see if he would qualify for the gifted program (my moment of bragging!!!) Things are almost all back to normal here in the Sizemore house. We went to play in a softball game last weekend for the school and it reminded me all about how we used to play at Huachuca. We made up our mind that after our move we'll look into a team to play on. Scott has been doing soccer this time around and Saturday was his last day. We'll be taking the summer off because of the crazy scheadule that were going to be having. With having the house for sale...a trip to Ohio at the end of June...the girls coming up (or is it down?) for summer. On top of all that I need to get us up into place in Colorado by the 1st of July so that we can be there by the time that Scott starts school on the 5th! I know, it just gets crazier and crazier for school scheadules, but this one is actually a standard year round school so there will be lots of time off, as he will be going for about 2 months and vacation for 1. I'm kind of looking forward to it, as it could mean more vacations for us.
One other big thing that has gone on here is that last month Scott was awarded his Bobcat. For those that don't know that is a level in BoyScouts you get as you progress along in their program. He earned his Tiger last year, and now this one...were hoping that within the next few weeks he will have earned his Wolf. The markings on his face are part of the cerimony where he is given his award. Each symbol and color all have a special meaning to it. Also the parent is the one who gets to paint the markings on their face. After that they have to take a pin they are given and present it to the parents for their help along the way. I think Scott was nervous because it took him 17 seconds to pin it. For every second it took to pin was one good deed that needed done before I could put his patch onto his uniform. Scouting is something that he really enjoys, so I'm really glad that we were finally able to find a troop around here that he could get into. He is actually attending a troop that is attached to the LDS church, but if all the LDS troops are like this one, I'll make sure to have them stay with them. Our leader is AMAZING!!! She has so much energy! She has four boys, and 2 are twins that are about 5 months old. And of the 4, none of them are of Scouting age.
I'm not sure where our next adventure will be. We have been swimming as much as we can. I try to soak in our yard, the only thing I will miss from here. I look forward to hearing from everyone...remember that you don't have to create a "Blog" page to do so...all you need to is to click on replay or leave comment...then create a log on name...when you het enter from there the next page is one to create a blog page.
