Well, this was all so very unexpected and definately not planned for. Last year at this time I was pregnant with Daisy and coaching H.S. volleyball. Caden & Paxton either stayed with friends in the ward if Spencer wasn't home or they ran wild at vb practice, helping shag balls or dodging them. At the end of last year I told the school I would not be back to coach for a few reasons:
1) The Principal- Long story. Lets just say "problems,issues, issues, problems"(school wide) he was let go at the end of last year.
2) Daisy would be born in January and only 7 months old at the time vb would start again for the following year.
3) And now our house is for sale and who knows how long we will be here.
So, an infant a 3 yr. and 5 yr. old is enough to keep anyone busy. On top of that, trying to always have the house clean for the viewing pleasure of any home buyers. And now I have this unplanned issue placed before me.
Will I be bumping up the Hansen grandchildren current total of 17 and the Johnson/McSloy grandchildren current total of 10? Or will I be bumping something else?
Let me put an end to all the suspense. Looks like I will be coaching volleyball again, this being my 4th season. Last week, the AD (athletic director) knocked on my door with the new principal in tow. Wanting to know if I would reconsider. After a years time, they still have no one to coach and the season started Monday. All along I had told them I would be willing to help whoever took the position and volunteer when I could.
After much deliberation, Spencer and I decided I could give it another go with the understanding they need a backup plan in the event our house would sell in the next 3months.
Of coarse this could never work without so much help from Spencer and few good friends. For the past three years he has done so much at home and with the kids during the vb seasons. So thank you Spencer for being so amazing so that I could even consider doing it at all.

I bet Spencer wrote that last paragraph.
Ding, ding, ding! You would only be partially right. Actually I wrote the entire blog. Lisa was not lieing when she said she would never start a blog. I've had this burning desire to start ablog for so long but was intimidated by all these women, I didn't want to be the ony guy. Now that the secret is out I can blog on what I really want to talk about.
Tomorrows topic: Farts and bench pressing.
I know! I can't believe how fast she is growing up. Believe it or not I didn't really cry! I wouldn't however allow Brian to take me home to my empty house. We went to wal-mart at like 8:30 am. haha. I got a little teary eyed throughout the day, but that was it.
You trickster Lisa.
