The one with memorial day.

When our loved ones become a memory,

our memories become our treasures.

*Wishing you a wonderful, memory filled day.*

The one with the magical month of May!

What a fun and busy month we have had so far! I was able to go on filedtrips with both Ethan and Emma, I have to say this is not my favorite thing. I don't know why , I can't explain it. When I'm there its great its just if I had my choice my kids would love me regardles of coming on fieldtrips or not. Don't even get me started on volunteering! Don't I "volunteer" every night that I help them with their homework? I told you not to get me started. Its guilt that I carry. Eliza also finished her first year of preschool, it got me thinking this time next year I'll have one done with elementary and pre school...tear. Sam still has his kindergarten graduation this week and he is so excited for next year to stay all day and eat lunch! I hate first grade, I dread it more than kindergarten. Its hard to have them gone all day...at first, i'm sure i'll get over it!!!
Oh I forgot to mention the darling Mothers Day tea that Emma'a class did. They played their ukelele's and read us stories and of course had goodies! Her teacher is the best! Happy rest of May!

The one where I'm busy!! or lazy?

I can't tell which is which! I'm either lazy or busy, but blogging has gone by the way side for me lately! Don't worry I still check everybody's blogs I just don't want to take the time to update mine! (ok it's lazy!) so here's the quick update....
Baseball is in full swing around here and I love watching Sam, he is the only one on his team that get's in a serious "ready position" and it is hilarious! he is so intense!
I am also in full swing with the new cheer squad, they are an awesome group of girls and I really feel energized by their youth, yes I am coaching again this year! GO VIKES! (ok its too busy!)
I had an awesome mothers day! Josh spoiled me all week! I was stoked about my gift though....drum roll please.....a canister vacuum! I know it sounds lame but it is exactly what I wanted! it does the floors so much better than sweeping! i'm still giddy! the kids also gave me their darling homemade things and I look forward to that each year! I thought how sad a day it will be when there isn't a paper cup full of dirt and seeds in my kitchen window:( Iwould hate to think Josh buttered me up all week because there was jazz game on on mothers day! but of course I was nice and LET him watch it!
Now on to the planting....i got all the flowers and pots done on saturday and now I can move on to the garden!! Nothing makes you feel better than a hard day's work and your hands in the earth all day! (ok, back to too busy!)
Well that's it for me! A sneak peak into my busy, lazy life! I will post some pic's of the flowers and also my new backsplash when I'm not feeling lazy....because yes, lazy wins for now!

The one with the awesome weekend!(that started on thursday)

My new favorite group of gals.(don't worry, the rest of you are still near the top)

New patio table and chairs because my hubby loves me and spoils me! (and because I beg like a 5 year old!)

I came home friday night and in a matter of 2 days my tulips had bloomed to greet me!!

REAL SALT LAKE!! It must be said that I usually let Josh take the boys but......Beckham was here!!! and I took the best picture of his bum while he was bent over warming up, only I took it with my moms camera, don't panic, i'll post it soon!!!geesh!!

I had the best weekend!! It all started with Womens Conference on thursday and friday, and boy did I need my spiritual cup filled and fill it I did! I came home so refreshed and renewed! (although I did skip stake conference, some things are slower to sink in) All of the classes were so wonderful, from marriage to children to just plain old being a woman which really isn't that plain! (see I did learn!) The best part is my new and old friends that I was with, they are the best and I really did have a great time! OK I'm gushing. ps. anyone is welcome to come and borrow my Eclipse or Michael Mclean cd's. While I was gone My hubby called and said he had found a patio table he thought I may like....and indeed I did so now it is mine and I love it!!! yae for eating outside while the mosquitos eat me! Then the ending to a great weekend Ethan's baseballs games(he got a hit each up to bat!) Sam's soccer game(he had 7 goals!) and then down to the ReAl game on the new Frontrunner(next time we'll drive) and it was so fun to see Beckham especially when he took his shirt off at the end and gave it to me!!! ok not me, but another adoring female fan!! I love weekends like this when it is one great thing after another and we really might have gone to conference except that Eliza puked all night long. I'm rambling, peace out!
