The Boys had a busy and fun weekend

Jake's School has a "Wall of Fame" that the students teachers can recommended them to receive a "Brick". There were only 4 kids from Jake's class that received a brick this year, I was so proud of Jake for doing so well at School this year. His award was for "Personal Skills" this includes being prepared and ready to learn, helpful and kind to the other students, and being successful with his learning.


Then the boys got to go spend the weekend with their Granny & Papa. They had a great time. They loved getting to swim and thought the shakes and Johnny Rockets were the best.

Weekend Away

For our anniversary (11 years already) Scott got me tickets to go see Broadways "Mamma Mia"



and took me to Phoenix to stay at Tapatio Cliffs for the weekend. It was such a beautiful and relaxing place.




Thanks so much to Scott's folks for keeping the boys. We had such a great time, we went to the show and loved it (me probably more than Scott, but love him even more than I did before since he went with me!!!), then spent the rest of the weekend lounging beside the pull in SUN SHINE and being WARM it was so great, eating amazing food and hanging out with good company! Scott of course, and my Sis & Bro Kara & Billy came out and joined us it was so fun.

Seriously Mother Nature!!!

Sorry all but I have to vent for a few... Really it's MAY!!! I went with Jake's K Class on their field trip today and what would you know it blowed, snowed, hailed, & rained on us the entire time (not even a week ago we were in flip flops & shorts!). But no today had to be nasty. The poor kiddos were soaked to the bone, we went to the deer farm petting zoo and the animals would hardly even come out, I felt so bad for the kids. I sure hope summer comes soon, I don't know how much more we can all take. (Picture is stolen from a friend. I was to busy trying to keep kids dry and had no chance for pics.)



p.s. I am grateful for the moisture just wish it would be a nice warm monsoon instead of miserable snow and wind!

Thanks for listening.

A Day Downtown with the Boys

The Boys and I had a few hours so we headed downtown to have some fun. I got to take some pics of the cutest two boys I know (ok so I am biased) :-). And we hit some fun shops and a great little corner market with glass bottle soda, great candy and a great vibe. Oh and I got to play with my new camera!!!

Easter Weekend

The boys had a great Easter, they were so happy to have their Granny, Papa, Uncle Craiger, Karla, James & Baileigh all here with them. We colored Easter Eggs and Easter Pics. Then the Easter Bunny hid eggs for them to hunt in the back yard, we had a great Easter Picnic (inside of course, we still weren't warm here yet), The Easter Bunny even came and we got to hang out with family.

Burpers!!!

So Fun. I got to do some sewing, it is "Sew" much more fun when you are making cute things then when you are fixing things. I loved doing these and they were so simple. I am feeling crafty again so any ideas on projects would be welcome!

Violin Performance

*Ok for everyone who has been asking here is a short Video with the concert. Sorry it's blurry and you can only see the back of Jake's head but at least you can here how good this group of kids does on the Violin.

Jake has really enjoyed playing the violin this year. His school has a focus on the Art's & Science's. Each K-2 gets 2 30min. lessons every week. They have taught them lot's of fundamentals and the basics of performing and the kids seem to really enjoy it.

Grand (Chocolate) Falls

We went out a few weekends ago for a day trip, this place is about 40 min. from home and we had a great time! We hiked down into the canyon and got some great pics, had a picnic, and enjoyed hanging out together.

Alright everyone I know I have been a huge blogging slacker... I was locked out of my blog and a little bit lazy as well. I have finally started updating my blog and will try to do so on a much more regular basis, thanks to all those who have not given up on me. Melinda
