Last Day of School for the Big Kids




Yeah for school OUT! I look forward to summers, to spend time with my kiddos and just do whatever we want each day.  I try not to get the kids involved in too many extra activities so we can just be together.  This is the last time these three will be on the same bus together.  I am really proud of my Auston he had a great year and grew so much physically, emotionally and spiritually.  I am excited but really nervous for the teenage years but I know that he is a great kid and I am so happy for the relationship that he and I share. 
Adyson had a great 4th grade year she loves school and loves to do her BEST at everything she does.
Broc finished 1st grade and never gave up even though things weren't as easy for him.  He is a great friend and chooses the right each day.  He came home and told me that he and another girl taught a nonmember in their class how to pray.  I hope he always stays strong in the gospel and that he always has a desire to share it with others! I don't always feel like I am a "worthy" or "good" mom but these sweet kids are very forgiving and teach me that it's okay, they forgive me and make me want to try harder everyday, I am so lucky to be their Mother!

Preschool Ends... Summer Begins








Drake and I made it through his first year of preschool.  He made lots of friends (I think that is the only reason he went to school).  Even though it was rough at times I am so glad that I get to be his teacher.  He is a smart little thing and when HE WANTS to he can create many spectacular projects.  He asks me at least a couple times a week if we have preschool in the morning, sometimes he is bummed and sometimes he is excited to not have to go. I love him and I am so thankful for all the many things that he teaches me!

Camping makes me HAPPY









Our first trip to Simpson Springs was so much fun the weather was perfect.  We got good and dirty and had so much fun sitting in the sun, riding four-wheelers, playing in the dirt, sitting around the camp fire, laughing and just having a great time being together.  I love being away from all the things that keep us busy and just taking a time out to enjoy the beauty of the Earth and the beauty of my Family!!
