Playing with Cousins

Going to the Rec Center

Got a new Niece. Grace {Zac & Jilyn's} Isn't she sooo cute!

Got put in charge of STEM day at school. It was lots of work, but turned out pretty fun!

Somehow got ropped into being PTO secretary for the next year. I showed up to one meeting with my big calendar all organized and that was that. It will be fun to meet new people and I seriously love our school so much! The old PTO got us these cute bags filled with tons of cute stuff.

One of favorite days!! MOTHER'S DAY!

I got a ribbon dance by the girls, breakfast in bed, tons of coupons, yummy chocolate dipped strawberries, homemade Olive Garden soup which is my favorite! The best thing in the world is being a mom. I couldn't imagine life without my 5 kids, even if sometimes it is super crazy! It has been so amazing watching my girls grow, watching them become ladies. Seeing the choices they make and how kind and loving they are. It makes me appreciate my amazing mom even more and grateful my Heavenly Father blessed me with such a wonderful life. I couldn't be ANY luckier!

Cards for the grandma's

Emma is Witty -- check out the funny poem she gave me. Where does she come up with this stuff!!?

Emma has taken Voice from the talented Miss Shannon Birch. She did a recital for all her young students. Emma got to sing 2 solos, and the lead part with the other girls.

I made this program for the recital:

Got to go on a short girls weekend with my amazing friends {from when we lived in Coral Canyon} It is amazing that we all have such a fun time when we get together, catching up. We went to SLC this time and Shopped, ate yummy food, and went to opening night of Pitch Perfect 2.

Left to Right -- Jessica Alger, Mandy McCullough, Ricki Chambers, Me, Heather Jenson, and Lindsey Evans.

We Went to the Alger's boxing gym. Dion Senica flew in from out East even...

Shopping..

If you haven't tried these massage bars from Lush they are amazing! You can order them online. Their bath bombs are to die for too!!

I can't remember the name of this place in downtown SLC, but it had the most amazing creme brûlée oatmeal with whipping cream and fruit. I want to go back sooo bad!!

Lindsey found an outfit at the store! Ha we were dying of laughter! I like the girl's face standing behind us.

Got a new hair cut & went a little more blonde { A few weeks before the trip} Went shopping and found a cute new hat. Took a Selfie to send to Tom to see if he liked it also!

We went to church and stopped at This place that had the yummy blueberry stuffed french toast. AMAZING!! Before we went home. I felt pretty bad eating out on Sunday, but we were traveling.... maybe next time we will have to buy lunch foods for the way home on Saturday. I know people eat out all the time Sunday but man it wan't worth the guilt!!

Tom sent a pic of the girls ready for church.. He was such a trooper to take them all, and their hair looked way better than when I do it! He is the best husband ever!

It's so fun to get away for a few days, I love coming home, I feel refreshed, and grateful to be home with my kids who I always miss!

Fun night with chopsticks!

My mom got to ride bikes with the kids to school their last day... We love when she visits from China, and can't wait to have her home permanently!

I organized the end of the year neighborhood party, which pretty much means I send out a text that says who wants to do something at their house, and what do they want to do... This year Regina did a cake walk, Laura did snow cones, they swam, and had snacks at my house. We have 50 kids on our one street, we also invite who ever else wants to come so it's lots of fun!

I was the room mom for Sandie Erickson - Emma's Teacher and she is amazing! She gave me this cute picture for all the work I had done. I can't wait for Lyvi to get her for 5th grade... cause trust me I will find a way to get her in her class!!

For my birthday.... my new favorite menu item... Wedge Salads! SOOOO GOOD! This was from painted pony.

Emma tried out for student council and made it. I didn't think it was a hard thing to do but apparently tons of kids tried out and only 6 made it. She was SOOO excited!!

At church -- boys feeding each other?? Too funny to not hurry and snap a pic...

Our friends the Forbush's came up to visit and we went out for waffles from waffle love.. My favorite!

Got all the stuff to do gel nails. It is so fun and I love always having my nails painted, that actually stay on for a couple weeks!

Still getting into trouble even at 3...

For my birthday. Tom did Birthday week again. I got one gift ever day 5 days before my birthday. Touch-- I got a bunch of massages...

Hear - A waterproof speaker that I can stick on the shower wall. I love to listen to conference talks or music so this was a very thoughtful gift!

Taste - Mberry's - suppose to make your food taste different. Can't wait to try it out.

My friend Shally threw a birthday party... I love these ladies so much! They are all so kind and thoughtful. It's amazing that so many amazing ladies can live on one street {and a few from the ward}

My neighbor Summer had her birthday the day before mine so we did a joint celebration.

My friend Shally is talented at everything! She made the most delicious cake!

We went Hiking for my actual birthday. Your probably thinking, What ?? She picked hiking? But this is something I have been so excited to be able to do once all our kids were old enough. The boys did awesome! My brother's family and my Mom! {since she was staying with us for the month} Tom was able to catch a frog and the kids loved holding it, then afterwards we went to get icecream at Rowley's Barn.
