Get the mix on the Clayson six: Catching Up

I don't really have any pictures of the past few weeks... we've been keeping busy though. Every day on my calendar in the first 2 weeks of May are completely booked - there's no more room to write anything else! The weeks after that seem to be clear, for now. Matthew started his driving school, it's right by our house so he can walk/ride his bike there. I think it's going ok - he's not the biggest talker as of late. He's still going to robotics every week, OH! I will post the pictures of the Atlanta competition! Reece is counting the days till school and piano are over and he can just skateboard till his little legs colapse. Kenzie and Tayler are performing in our Primary talent show tomorrow night. I will be sure to post video, it's Kenzie's last year to perform with the primary (WHAT??) so she's going out with a bang. Her tradition is to hula-hoop and her routine this year is really fun. Tayler is doing her glasses trick previously posted on here and playing a duet with me. Tonight is the elementary school's Celebration of Learning they have every spring. Kenzie will be singing with the honor choir and we visit the classrooms to see what they've accomplished this year. For years we had 3 classrooms to visit, now it's the last year with 2... Kurt's always busy with work and church stuff. He's been hired from a company his friend works for to help with a project and one of the deadlines is Monday. It makes it kind of crazy and busy for him but the money's good and he likes to be crazy and busy. I'm still having purse parties about every-other week. Last Saturday we sold 18 bags and I have another party today and still at every party 1 or 2 people what to book a party themselves. I will be doing all the sewing in May and June because my friend I do this with has another business that's super busy right now. So, I'm glued to my machine lately and I was afraid I would get burned out but I'm still liking it. But I'm taking July and August off and I think that will be a nice break. I'm also trying to train for the Breast Cancer 3-day I'm doing soon. It's a little over-whelming when we walk 6 miles and are aching and we realize we are going to be walking 60! I actually injured my foot on our last walk and I have no idea how. It hurts most of the time and I don't want to make it worse so I'm a lazy bum now. Hopefully it heals fast. The fund-raising is going well too, donations keep trickling in. Thank you so much to everyone that's donated, it's great to have such great support. My purse friend (Tara) and I are creating limited edition "Pretty in Pink" purses to sell and all the profit will go toward the cause. If anyone's interested out there send me an email :) So with all of that and the little things that pop up between the 6 of us it's crazy here. Just crazy and I'm really excited for school to be done! Now I'll post some more of Atlanta and maybe some video - This is the Georgia Dome where it was held.

This is just 1/2 of how big it was. There were 4 divisions, 2 on each side.

Our former President came and spoke. He was President when FIRST was started and has been a big supporter ever since. He described it in this way, "This is like the WWF, but for smart people!"

After closing ceremonies we headed to the party at the Centennial Olympic Park. This line of people going up the escelators lasted about 30 minutes. We squeezed and shoved our way on and ...

There were still a ton of people. This is a huge event. I had no idea how huge. Teams from all over the world were there to compete. It was such a fun time.
