Busy, busy times in the Hopper House. I haven't had the time to update the blog. I have our Memorial Day Vacation blog ready to go, but I'm just need to add the pictures. Sitting down, sifting through the pictures, and putting them on here is the hard part. Actually, finding the time to do all of that is the hard part.
Colby has had either baseball practice or a game almost every other day. Work has been insane with 2 major events coming up. One is tonight, so that will be out of the way. Friday, we leave for Round Rock for Colby's baseball tournament and we'll be there through Sunday. We'll return on Sunday and then I have be up and bright eyed and bushy tailed at my department's Annual Golf Tournament. I need another vacation already.
Tristen tried out for the Wind Symphony band and he made it. While I don't fully understand what the difference b/w Wind Symphony and the Symphonic band is, the Wind Symphony band is the 'better/more advanced' band in 7th & 8th grade. Both bands are combined with 7th & 8th graders, so we are proud of Tristen making the 'more advanced' band.
School is out on Friday! Wooohooo! Colby has his '5th Grade Memories' ceremony on Friday and Tristen has Final Exams today through Friday. Things don't seem to slow down though even once Friday hits. Next week, Tristen has football camp, Colby has a foot Dr. appointment for an ankle that has been bothering him, and then the following week Tristen has a dentist appointment and soon after that an Orthodonist appointment for braces.
Our covered back patio was started the Friday before Memorial Day and it should be finished by early next week. The rain has postponed them working on the patio a couple days, so I'm hoping for no more rain until the patio is done. It is looking great and we can't wait for it to be done. Jason will have his hands full with reviving the grass in the backyard. It is pretty much shot from all of the materials laying on it. Oh well. It will be back to good in no time! :)
I promise to update the blog soon with pictures and our vacation post.

It's been raining a ton here too! Can't wait for that to end so I can get out and jog!
Congrats to your boys! Sounds like they are keeping you guys busy!
Well, from Aspen's year and a half, this is what I found.....the symphonic band, otherwise known as "concert band" is usually made up of mostly 9th graders. Only the ones "chosen" from wind symphony get to play with the symphonic band. Symphonic/Concert being the most advanced. They usually require 2 years of band before trying out for symphonic.
