Bring on Summer

Well it's official we are going to Jamaica for our summer vacation. We booked our hotel, booked our plane reservations and are going to get our passports on Monday. I'm so excited. We are actually going to Boscobel which is on the other side of Negril about 30min away from Montego Bay. We are staying at an all inclusive which means we get to eat and drink as much as we want. The kids are a little worried about the 10 hour flight from Lax to North Carolina (3hour lay over) and the rest to Jamaica but the good news is that we don't leave CA till 10:00pm so we should sleep the majority of the way. 

Work is going better for me these days. I have been successful in my fundraising which is making my bosses happy. There are many things that I don't like about office politics but I have to play the game if I want to survive any layoffs we might do in the future. I love my job don't get me wrong but we have a lot to do. 

Trevor is back in football and is weightlifting like crazy. He is so strong and I think ready to play Varsity this year instead of just suiting up. 

Tatum has already had her first Softball game and is catching (yes Jillian she caught her first game of the season and from what I hear she did a great job). Basketball is coming to an end though she will have some private lessons once a week to help her keep up on the game. 

Triston  hasn't started games yet for baseball but is doing a lot of practice to pitch for the team. Games start the 2nd week of March. He is also playing spring soccer and games start soon for that as well. 

Don is working very hard. He is the one that keeps this family together. He picks the kids up and gets them to practice and fixes dinner. He picks up all the slack that my job makes me miss. He is amazing and I love him

Thats all for now stay tuned for more

It has been so long

It has been a long time since I have had time to type on this blog. It seems that the Havard family is getting busier and busier. The kids are ending their winter sports and practices are starting for the spring sports. So that means an overlap with Tatum's basketball with softball and Triston is doing spring soccer and baseball. Trevor's wrestling season just ended and is now going to continue with freestyle wrestling. The wrestling program has a better weightlifting schedule then football and helps the kids get in better shape and I think that this will help him in football. 

Don is enjoying the rain as it bring more people to the store and we hope that it continues. Me on the other hand am constantly busy and have been working several hours. My favorite boss of all time, Ken, got promoted and is moving his family to Arizona. I will miss them tremendously. We have been having lots of fun giving him and his wife Jodi (my best friend) lots of going away parties. This past Friday night we went to our favorite bar and it was a blast. 

For Valentines day Don surprised Tatum and I with pink and white roses along with chocolate covered strawberries.  The kids and I surprised Don with a candlelight homemade dinner of Lasagna  with Chocolate cupcakes with chocolate frosting decorated with sprinkle and red hots. I would say that we had a great day.

For now along with the sports and busy work days we are in the process of planning our summer vacation. We know that we are going to Laughlin with Ken and Jodi  in either June or July and we are looking to go to either Florida to Orlando or to Jamaica. We are looking at prices and going to the Travel agent this week hopefully Tuesday.  

More to come...
