He Did It

Mike just finished his MBA program!! April 27th was the deadline for all assignments to be turned in. It has been a long road but he made it. He took a short break (1 month) between completing his Bachelors and starting his Masters program. Yeah I'd say he's a little crazy (ok, I am right there with him cause I encouraged it). No seriously, I am SOO proud of him. He has had to juggle working full time and traveling, as well as his responsibilities as 11 year old scout leader and the responsibilities for the Trek we are doing this year as a stake. Both he and I are the chairman responsible for "training" the Ma's & Pa's (which will be the Priest and Laurel aged youth). It has been fun! But to be able to take care of all this and still have time available for me and the kids, how ever did he do it?! We are going to take a trip to Chicago in July so he can walk with his graduating class:) WAY TO GO HONEY!!!

Summer Fun...already

Can you believe our community pool has been open for two weeks now?! CRAZY:) Of course we had to take advantage of it. The weather seems to work out perfectly to go every Friday, so that has become our "swim day." The weather was GREAT but the water was FREEZING!! It didn't phase Z and A but I could barely keep my feet in the H2O. (We have a large pool and another that is 1 ft. deep for the little ones). I always say that my kids really should have been fish...they would live in the H2O if they could!

Life is the Bubbles

The simplest of things bring the most JOY. What is it about bubbles that kids enjoy?! No matter the kind; Z and A LOVE bubbles.

Whether they are found in the bathtub....

or blowing in the air.
Reminds me of what we are always told..."become as a little CHILD." They know what life is about, they see things as they are. They see US for who we are! Isn't it our main goal to become like our Heavenly Father? No wonder children are the utmost and greatest example of how we can become more like Him and our Savior and what we are truly striving for:)
