Kindergarten Program and Recorder Recital

Oakley had her Kindergarten end of year program and we were so excited that Matt was in town for it. Oakley has really enjoyed Kindergarten. She has made alot of friends in her class. Her favorite things about school are recess, making crafts, and coloring. She is really excited to go to first grade and be able to eat lunch at school:) Let's just hope that she can wake up in time for school. She has been going to afternoon Kindergarten and is a late sleeper:) Good luck Oakley!

Parker had a recorder recital this week. He has passed off all his color belts. He is pretty cheeseriffic don't you think?:) Parker has done really well in 4th grade. He enjoys anything to do with science. He loves playing basketball at recess, and the corn dogs at lunch:)

More to come about Taylor!

A friend of mine sent this to me. What a great reminder of all the beautiful things we have in this world.

Happiness. It's the little things.

1-Puppies. Who doesn't love a little puppy to hold?
2-House Hunting. Not for me, but I do love going with family to look for their new home.
3-Family. Nothing better than good chitchat and laughing.
4-Kids. I love the innocence of the littles. They are so easy to please. Give them a swing set, food, and a basketball hoop and they are good to go.
5-Hubbies. I love being completely crazy in love with Matt.
6-Road Trips. It might not be a far one, but I love to get out and go on a adventure.
7-Prayer. I don't know what I would do without being able to pray and ask for help, or share my thankfulness.
9-Babies. Just like a puppy, who doesn't love little babies?
10-Friends. I don't know what I would do or who I would be without the wonderful people I call my friends. Late nights out, girls lunches, talks in the hall at church, phone calls just to say "Hi".

Really in life all I need are the little things.

Best April Fools Ever!!!

I'm not going to lie. I am not a big fan of April Fool's. Lame pranks, kids telling lies all day, did I mention LAME pranks??? Well yesterday ended up being an awesome April Fool's! It all started with my Visiting Teacher dropping off Cafe Rio for lunch!! Love it!! Later that night I had this awesome dinner dropped off from the fabulous Milligan's!!!

What are those made of you ask? Let me tell you....
Turkey legs: doughnut hole and bone made out of white chocolate
Peas and carrots: th peas were a minty chocolate candy, the carrots were some sort of taffy.
Mashed potatoes and gravy: not sure, but Parker said it was SUPER yummy!!!

They were totally cute when they dropped it off and said "We made dinner for you guys!!" Really, really, really, I love my Neighborhood!!!

Need to clarify....

I should totally mention that my previous post was not a waah, oh my, life is so hard, I am picked on post. My life is actually pretty freaking fabulous. I just don't like it when thoughts stay in my head and take up too much room. I would rather have my thoughts filled up with dreams of sand between my toes at the beach, warm weather, jetting off to wherever....

Thanks to my fabulous s-i-l Paige and my friend Em for the lovely chats this week after that post! You girls are quite awesome!!
