Happy Memorial Day!

 We had a great weekend.  Three day weekends are so nice.  Today we took Jenny's new bike out for a spin.  It was fun to ride.  I haven't ridden a bike in a long time.  Tony made us burgers.  They were yummy!

 We went swimming as well.  Evan wasn't interested in the pool.  It was too cold for him.  He did like the spray park after a while.  He mostly enjoyed walking to other people's bags and trying to grab their stuff.  Silly kid.  Leah went back and forth between pool and spray park.  She did great in the water and didn't need to be held like usual.

My big boys were water bugs as usual.

 Joshua went on the big yellow water slide this year and loved it!  It is a fun slide.

We had a great time.  Jenny and Tony came with us and Rylan enjoyed the spray park too!  

We enjoyed all of these freedoms because of those who have passed on before us.  We are grateful for the sacrifices other have made for us, so that we can enjoy ourselves how we want too!

Coach West

We just finished up the Soccer season.  The boys had a great year.  They both met their goal of scoring a goal.  Dallin scored 7 goals for the season, and Joshua had one goal.  They both improved from the Fall.  It is really fun watching them play.  This year Michael coached Dallin's team.  He really enjoyed coaching them.  The kids are so sweet.  We really liked all the kids and their parents.  Michael got a few sweet gifts at the end of today's game.  We really enjoyed the soccer season.  :)  A few of the parent's asked me if Michael has coached before because he was so good at it.  I'm glad everyone loved him as coach and glad he loved coaching.  :)

Mother's Day

 This is picture of the wonderful things my children made for me for Mother's Day.  They did a wonderful job at making me feel special.

Michael got me a running visor and new socks that are suppose to help prevent blister.  I can't wait to try them out.  Thank you!  Michael and I have great mothers and grandmothers.  We have wonderful examples in our lives.  We love and miss our Moms lots.  We hope they both have a wonderful Mother's Day!

We had a big storm and got close to six inches of needed rain.  I enjoy the occasional storm.  This picture doesn't do it justice, but it was raining cats and dogs. 

 We had wicked winds and Torando warnings as well.  We lost a tree.  It didn't hit any cars, people, or house, so we are in good shape.  :)  No tornadoes touched down, it was all precautionary.

The house next door has a tree that branch fell into our yard.  The tree needs to be chopped down, but the house is foreclosed.  We are hoping the bank will take care of this.  We lost one more smaller tree that came down today.  I guess the our yard will be easier to maintain. now.  :)  My kids take after me and enjoy the storm.  I am glad they don't get scared and can enjoy it with me.  

I love Kinder!

The kids are so sweet. They still get to have fun and play.  They also get to learn to read.  I love 5 year olds.  Dallin had his program last night.  He did great.  

They did songs about spring.  It was adorable.  After they finished we were dazzled by the folklorico dancers.  Leah loved the all the colorful dresses.

If only I could be a fly on the wall at school.  I would love to see what Dallin does at school.  He is such a great kid.  It was really fun to see him shine.  :)
