The Graduate

Emma had her preschool graduation today. I can't believe that she will be starting Kindergarten in the Fall. How did this happen??!! She loves her teacher, Miss Linda, and all of the friends that she has made.
I got her a little bouquet of flowers to make her feel extra special and grown-up. The only bummer about today was that Shaun had to work out of town and couldn't make it. :( But, Grandma Michelle and Aunt Kayla were able to come.
Emma is such a sweet girl. She is such a good helper and I catch her "mothering" the boys. :) She is so smart and witty. She is such a girlie girl, but also likes to play in the dirt. She is my favorite girl!

Emma's last day of school.

Crafty?

I am not a crafty person at all. I really wish I was. I don't even know how to sew. But, I do have a sewing machine. I have so many ideas, but do not know how to make them come to life. I have been trying to make things myself. I made a necklace and a couple headband holders. I love how they turned out. Very simple and cute.

Mother's Day

I had a great Mother's Day this year. Shaun made me breakfast. Blueberry pancakes with blueberry syrup, eggs and bacon. Yummy! He got me some nice gifts. My favorite was all of the stuff I needed to make a necklace. I have been searching for a red bead necklace for a LONG time. I mentioned to him that I would probably have to just make it myself. So, I did and I love it. We had steaks at Sherri's house and the kids played outside in the water.
I am so grateful for the opportunity to be a mother. I love being a mom so much. I'm so thankful to my Father in Heaven for sending me such awesome children.

Lately...

Well, the summer heat is here. UGH! I always dread the summer! I cannot stand being hot. We have been spending more time indoors. The kids still play outside, but can only stand the heat for so long. Thank goodness for our amazing playroom. So, playing inside isn't quite so bad for them. I love how much the kids love each other. They get along so well and play so nicely together. I always overhear Spencer and Emma saying "I love you" to each other and to Riley. This totally melts my heart!

Emma is almost done with Preschool. She will be starting Kindergarten in the Fall. I can't believe how fast she is growing up. :( Her Preschool Graduation is next week.
Spencer will be starting Preschool in the Fall. He is very excited about going to school.
Riley has begun to be attached to his special blankie. I love how all three kids have their special blankets. Riley also has a Donald Duck that we brought him home from Disneyland. He gives it hugs and kisses every night. And insists that I do the same! :) He learns something new everyday. He is one smart little guy!

Today was Kayla's 18th birthday. I can't believe that my little sister is already 18. We went to Grandma Michelle's house for cake and ice cream. The kids played in the backyard with the hose. They love playing in the water! I didn't know they would be playing in water, so they all wore underwear. Even Riley!
