4. Conversations with the kids
Conversations with the kids.. I thought it would be jot down some of the things the kids say. This week I was doing the dishes, Bowan was just sitting in the family room ( i think playing his ipod) and I asked him to come help me dry the dishes, he said " sure, Mom" as he was drying I was talking to him about school, he said, " mom, I just can't believe all the girls that like me, when I am playing on the playground all these girls keep asking me to come over so they can give me a big hug." he continued, " I will just be walking around school and all these girls will yell, 'hey Bo!' " I said that must be pretty cool though, right?! He said, " yeah" I was cracking up! He is so funny.
Marky has really been into singing Opera this week. Mrs. Mullenaux said he will give his answers in Opera all the time. He is so funny.
Ava had her concert for EVMCO last night. It was great, they had a guest artist Collin Raye, we had 2nd row seats, it was just incredible. Ava was so cute, she had her mouth open so big! We were so proud of her. She loves to sing.
Canon was left with a babysitter while everyone came to the concert.. Camille walked in the door and Canon just started grabbing Mark's leg and not letting go! Mark said he was so sad. He would've grabbed me but I wasn't here (wink:) Mark said when they all came back that Canon yelled "BYE" to Camille and ran to Mark. He is such a little cuddle.. he will put his head on your shoulder and pat your back, he is just the cutest little ball ever! Yesterday the kids all went for a run while I went to the Temple, Mark said Canon was doing everything the boys were doing. He loves his older brothers, and little Canon and Ava are just little buddies.
Mark is working on reposting Reflections of Christ to the world with Mike Van. I am happy that he is trying to do this finally.. I just hope its not too late. Although people still love the project.
I am trying to work on journaling and recharging my spirit. I went to the Temple yesterday and couldn't stop crying. I don't even know why. I was praying to feel of the spirit and I really did yesterday, I am glad I went.

1. Mark and Tara.
I decided to start a new blog... for a couple reasons, A. I want to get better about writing on our family blog, and B. I want to get better at putting up cute pictures of my kids! ( we have just a few cute pics!) I am going to print my old blog and put it on a shelf. Now I want to keep a great journal about my darling family. I just feel it is time for a fresh start! " Mabry Lately" is a good name, eh? The Mabry bunch is crazy right now, everything from tramp basketball, to football or baseball in the front yard, to choir practice, to karate, to gymnastics, to baseball games, to school programs, to messy rooms, to painting toes, to curling hair, to kissing a owie, to changing a diaper, to letting Dad be, to slamming the door, to not shutting the door, to swatting a fly, to finding shoes, to visiting Grandma.... Well, you get the point. There is just a few things going on.. I feel like a rushed spaz half the time, just trying to get through the day, and then putting my head on the pillow and wondering what the heck I accomplished for the day. There is so much to teach my kids and I am just having a really hard time fitting it all in! I love being a Mom, but it is very guilty feeling, high pressure job! Mark and I comment a lot that we are half way done raising Marky.. he is almost 11! I still need to teach him about taxes, and other stuff that the real world just throws you in to! There really isn't time to waste. Our kids are great. We live in a great little home, with nice things. I love our neighbors, I love being close to Grandma, I love the kids' school. There are so many great things about 38th st.. I love my life. Mark just graduated from ASU.. I am so proud of him. The kids and I threw a suprise party for him on Thurs. I think he was suprised. We had a blast.. now he is on to his Masters. He will leave to Romainia in July and be gone for 5 weeks! I am really trying to gear up for that! He is excited, I am too, it will be good to have his education, and show the kids how important a college education is. The kids are doing good.. each in their own way they bring so much to our family. We are very blessed. Marky=baseball, friends, nightgames, reading. Bowan=reading, karate, Gavin and Griffin, writing notes, tooting. Ava=preschool with Mrs. Rita, reading very well, gymanstics, Bobbi, coloring, cooking with Mom, painting toes. Canon=getting up WAY too early, despicable me, trucks, grandmas, shoes, treats.
