Teacher Appreciation Week

I've been slow at getting these to the teachers for this week's teacher appreciation. I made the Oreo balls last night (and enough for the baby shower Tiffany threw for Mary's primary teacher this evening). Those things are so delicious. There aren't a ton of ingredients, but they take a while to make. I'm sure grateful for my kids amazing teachers. The PTO has been putting together beautiful meals all week long. Tomorrow Aaron's bringing the grill and we're barbecuing for lunch. That should be nice way to celebrate all they do.

Mary's Invitations

Mary and I (and my mom, of course) had fun making and delivering these party invitations. Fortunately, we are doing the party at Super 8's swimming pool. This makes it so simple and easy. UNfortunately, there is a strict cap of 15 people, including adults. This means we had to keep the list small. I decided the only way to do this was to invite family her age and friends from her school class. I don't know how else to narrow down the church friends, soccer friends, etc.. Luckily, she'll have her baptism coming up and we won't have to limit invitations to that!

JBOB Begins

Mary had her first junior battle of the books battle and they won! They were so excited and darling. Ashton led the battle and we were so impressed with the way he led the competition and handled the children.

Sweet Little Buttercup

Noah's taking a liking to holding Buttercup. He's so sweet with her and he helps take care of her. This I am learning about bunnies, they poop a lot!!!!

Happy Easter All!

My heart is filled with gratitude for and testimony of the Jesus Christ and His role as Savior and Redeemer. Because of Him there is hope, hope for me and hope for my family. I'm feeling very blessed today.

Kinder Soccer Star

Noah is loving this season of soccer. He is pretty confident and fun to watch. He's on the top end of the age bracket, as evident by his small shirt. So, this will be his last season in kinder soccer. This is definitely my favorite age to cheer on.

Easter Picnic and Egg Hunt

The park was filled with sweet families from the community. Genevieve hosted her annual Easter Egg Hunt and we had so much fun with all our friends.
