Figured I haven't updated the blog about the Perry family's life in a while...

Treven- Working hard to finish out this semester. He has one final left, which is tomorrow, then he has an easy summer. He only has 5 more classes left for his bachelor's but not all five are offered during the summer or fall so he has to split them up between the two. This summer will be pretty relaxed for school. :) As far as work, he is working hard and going to be put into a lead position soon and hopefully from there be placed in management. He is a little frustrated at work right now, but he is still working hard. Treven joined a softball team with some of his coworkers and his first game is tonight, but unfortunately he can't make it due to work. He is turning 28 at the end of this month and always frowns when I remind him. He isn't even 30 yet!

Kim- Our "Tiny Peas Preschool" has now been open for 2 months and we have a total of 8 kids enrolled out of the 20 spots we have available, which is great for just starting out and the time of year it is. We are getting our name out there and hopefully when fall comes around we will have more kids. :) All of the kids come on Tuesday/Thursday right now, so it has been nice to only work twice a week and be able to do things with the girls at other times. I am training for a half marathon on July 4th and I am definitely looking forward to summer! Today is 70 degrees outside and the girls and I are trying to soak as much sun up as possible. I have had so much fun being able to go hang out with Marnie in Portland and be able to explore the downtown area. The girls love going to Aunt Marnie's house and playing on the playground near by.

Melia- She really wants to go to kindergarten next year, but unfortunately due to the cut off she will not be able to until 2012. Even the test that she could take to test into kindergarten doesn't work out. You have to be 5 by October 15th in order to test in. She misses it by 3 weeks. Oh well! It will be better for her. :) McKenzie and she are doing swim lessons, which today is the last day of this session, but she has grown so much in the 4 weeks that they have been in them. She will go under the water all the way and just walk around. Melia gets to move up to the next class when we sign her up for the next session which I am definitely doing with Lake Shasta coming in August. When Melia talks to you, you will hear her say the word "actually" a lot. She likes to use it to correct her. She is turning into such a little girl and I am surprised at some of the things she says. She has an incredible memory and will sing songs that she has only heard once before. Her artistic ability is amazing to me and she loves to create different artwork with cutting, gluing, markers, crayons, colored pencils, etc. She loves it all! Her friend Elyse joined our school and Melia is loving having her there.

McKenzie- Man! This girl is so expressive with everything she does. She is so determined everyday to convince me that she is 3 not 2.... I have to remind her that she will be 3 in July. She still tries to argue with me. She makes me laugh and want to scream all in one day. She is so loving and loves to have Melia as a big sister. It is so great to watch them play together. We have been doing the parent/toddler swim class since she is not 3 yet, but they told me on Monday that she is ready to advance to the pre-beginner class where I won't have to be in the pool with her. I am trying to help her to be excited about it and tell her that now she gets to go to the "big girl" swim class and she is becoming excited about. She really loves swim lessons and she knows when we are supposed to be going because she will remind me constantly. McKenzie LOVES to play with her friend, Maddie, who is 3 1/2. Maddie attends our school as well and our family absolutely loves the Wallingfords. They are an awesome family. It is so great to have the girls find such a great friend to play with.

This may be all jumbled together, but it is what I could come up with right now. Easter pictures to come soon.

Love you all.
