Catching up...

Wow! The last few weeks have been full of fun stuff. Here is just a few things we have been doing. Most of them are from Klair's 6th birthday party.

Emme got to tag along with me and Stefani for pedicures! She loved it, if you can't tell!

YES! those are PING golf clubs...and yes..she is only 6! Happy Birthday to Klair! She loves them!!

Rocking the gloves that Aunt Tessa gave her.

Mack and Sawyer...buddies forever! They are loving their weekly playdates.

Klair did it! She graduated from Kindergarten! I also was able to go to Sydney's award ceremony and she got perfect attendance and honor roll!! WOO HOO! (I don't have pictures but she was very proud and happy!)

Last but not least, today is Memorial Day. I love love love seeing the American Flags everywhere. I don't know who in my neighbor does this but for all the Patriotic holidays they put flags on the lawns of all the houses. It is so awesome to see all the flags down the street!

God Bless the USA!!

Mother's Day Card

My Mother's Day card from Cooper was a fill in the blank card. The words below in BLUE are the words filled in by Cooper.

My mom's name is Ashlie. She is 34 years old and weighs 72 pounds. Her hair is blonde and her eyes are brown. She cooks pizza the best, and she loves to eat all of our dinners. I think her favorite color is pink. She doesn't like video games very much. She likes to watch the news on T.V. My mom spends a lot of time making us do things we don't want to do. I'll bet my mom would like to have a Mother's Day card. Love, Cooper

Parenting Moment

Connor has to give a talk in church (his first sacrament talk) on Mother's Day. His topic is something from the "For Strength of Youth" pamphlet with a "mothers twist". I told him to pick a topic, read it a couple time, think about it and then I would help him write his talk. He decided to use the topic of Family (easy enough to put the mother twist in). He read it and came right into my room and said "you want to hear something hecka weird mom?" I said "sure, what?" Connor: "everything in there is exactly what you tell me about me and Cooper. It says that we should be nice to our siblings because they are our best friends and it says that we should help with chores to make it easier on the whole family. Can you believe that mom, isn't that weird, it is exactly what you tell us!" My response, "Yea, Connor that isssssss weird!"

{This is not a "pat myself on the back" moment. This is a "gain a little credit" with my son moment because he just realized that my parenting comes from the Prophet and Heavenly Father. How do people raise kids without the Gospel?}

It's that time again....

It is STRAWBERRY JAM time!!! YUM YUM YUMMY!!

No this is NOT all of it. Not even close. I have made 48 jars/ containers so far. I have about 50 more to go!! Eric told me that we need 52 jars just for our family (1 jar a week). This year I will be making more than usual to meet his request and to have enough to give away! If you want one, place your order now!!

Fairytale Town

A few weekends ago we went to Fairytale town with Katie, Lucas, Mason and Jill. We had a blast!!
