Happy Mother's Day

Love you MOM!

The Robot

At the end of the year there are projects coming out of the ears. Our latest one was a Robot.  I let Max plan the whole thing.  He knew that he wanted it wrapped in foil and it had to be made out of boxes.  No problem we can do that. We saved the finishing touches for dad to help out with.

Name now escapes me but he was fun to have around for awhile.

Hello May I'm here to report about April.  Not too shabby a few things to check off and 7 more months to do the rest.  

• no house goals

• I did get to the temple

• I ran in Pat's run and I did have a better time so yeah for me!

• I'm counting our mother daughter date

• I read "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn" Oh how I loved it. And I read a few other children's books as well. Trying to keep up with Lilly.

Step by step I'm getting there. I always dream that summer will be a great time for projects, but I spend most the summer with the kids.  May will be busy with the end of school and we are already a good few days into it.

Father Son/Mother Daughter

A couple weekends ago was the father and son campout.  Lilly loves, loves, this weekend because it is just us girls.  The boys got all packed up and left. Max was a little worried that Luke was coming since he puked in the middle of the night last year.  He didn't want to have that experience again.  When they got home they were all smiles. Kevin told me that there was an amazing indoor gym that they played in the whole time. He said " best father's and sons so far"

Lilly and I went out to dinner with friends and then went to As You Wish to paint some pottery.  I like making the pots a lot more then painting them just of the record. Lilly painted a vase for her room and I picked out the salt and pepper shakers.  Oh we had fun and we had ice cream after too. When we got home we had a sleepover in my bed. I think my favorite part of the night was when we were both lying in bed reading or separate books.

The next morning we adventured out to Natural bridge.  So is was a wonderful weekend for all of us.

Happy Birthday Max!

Monday our Max turned 7. SEVEN I can't even believe it.  This is how we celebrate 7.  One present in the morning, the awaited beyblade and a donut tower seven donuts high.

I went to the school 4 times for his day. First to take Max and Lilly in the morning. Trip 2 was to have lunch with him, his request was to have McDonald's. I hoped that I could just bring a birthday treat to the class at the end of the day but their schedule didn't work out that way. Trip 3 bring popsicles to the class. Trip 4 pick up kids, school is now over. I didn't mind that much is was fun to see him multiple times and Luke now wants to go to kindergarten.

When he got home he oped a few other things, a bike motor, and sparks for his scooter.  We spent some time putting things together and trying them out. 

After dinner Max wanted to go ice blocking. So we did and we had fun. 

There were some good runs and some tumbles as well.

Lilly was giving thumbs up after making all the way down the hill.

Luke loved it!

When it got dark we headed home for cake. It was a busy day for family but the cousins came over and so did grandma just in time for the strawberry cake.

Happy Birthday Max! You are a wonderful kid.  I'm so glad that I get to be your mom.
