May

We watched the butterfly go thru its life cycle in preschool. It's so amazing to see some of Heavenly Father's creations.
Drake is finishing his last year of preschool...love this sweet little guy of mine.

 We celebrated Mother's Day. I am so blessed to be a mother to these four miracles. I hope that I can be the Mother they need me to be. I am also so blessed to call this lady Mom. She is my biggest cheerleader and friend.

Sam and Rienie left to go to Hawaii, Drake was missing them so he made them this present for when they came back.

Even though I don't love turning another year older, it's a lot better when I have these awesome people in my life to make it a happy day. This is what I walked into after the gym on my birthday! They bought me a warm minky blanket.

Cassie had the day off and made sure that I had the best day. She stayed at my house and cooked and cleaned and made me this super yummy cake. She is the BEST! We met Kristy and Tenille for lunch it was a great day!

Last day of preschool and last day of being Drake's teacher. As I was telling my class how much I was going to miss them and how much I loved being their teacher. Jade said Teacher Misty I am going to cry and then another little girl said the same thing. They are all so sweet and I am so blessed to be apart of their lives.

Drake had been practicing his part for the graduation program for weeks and had them both memorized.  We even bought him a new outfit for his big night. He started off pretty good but when it came to doing his part he freaked out and ran into my arms. Later that night he told me that he hates programs.  Even though we have had some rough days, I am so thankful to have spent the first five years with him everyday. I always struggles with my kids going to kindergarten where they are away from me and being taught and influenced by other people.  I pray that Drake has a positive experience in school and that he learns to love it.

Adyson had her piano recital, she did so good and has gotten to a point where I can't really help her anymore. Her and Emrie did a duet. They would practice via face time in the mornings before school. They did so good. I am glad she has such good friends that she can share her talents with.



Drake and Gavin dressed up! I love when we have cousin time.

 LAST DAY OF 5th GRADE!

This year we celebrated ten years at Appleseed, I really can't believe that ten years ago I decided to follow my dream and open a preschool. Wow has my life been blessed, I have met the most amazing families and have been able to teach the best kids. I am so thankful to have this in my home what a blessing it is!
 LAST DAY OF 2nd GRADE

We have had so much rain this month. Pretty much does this everyday!

 Memorial Day Hike!
I am so glad that the weather cooperated so we could go on our hike this year. I love hiking the switch backs with this cute family of mine. I am also glad that we talked Bryce and Cassie into coming with us. It was so beautiful even in the clouds.










We are so excited to finally be at Lagoon. We got season passes for Christmas and we have been waiting and waiting until it opens. It's been so fun to spend time with the Clarkes and be together. I am looking forward to many for adventures and Lagoon this Summer!
LAST DAY of PRESCHOOL

Ady's choir concert

 They had their last dance competition at Lagoon in the freezing rain. They did so good this year and it has been so fun watching them get better and have more confidence.

April





This year we did Jesus baskets for Easter. The kids got pictures of scripture hero's. Church crossword puzzles and a picture of Jesus at the tomb. And of course to much candy. It was great day, we listened to conference at the cook's with Cassie's conference crepes. Then we went to Houghton's for Easter lunch and a fun Easter Egg hunt. Watched the afternoon session there and then headed to Vigil's for Easter dinner and another Easter Egg hunt. I am so thankful for my Savior for his life and that he died and that he lives again. I know my Savior LIVES! 






Broc couldn't be happier about being in cub scouts and he was super excited to finally get his scout shirt! Love that cute boy and his HUGE smile!


Drake and I got to go to a dairy farm for preschool. The wind was blowing like crazy but we still had fun seeing the milking barn feeding the baby calves, seeing the pigs and petting the soft baby lambs.

We had a winter storm which we so desperately need. Drake couldn't wait for the kids to get home to build a snowman. Broc was awesome and helped him build this cute guy.

Broc was so excited that this field trip was on a Friday so I could go with him. We visited another dairy farm in Farr West. We learned a lot about a dairy farm and I LOVED being able to spend time with my cute Broc!

So excited to finally get to go to Lagoon. Our first visit of the year and we are looking forward to many more fun times there!
