PERFECT Saturday Soccer Weather!

Rachel had her last soccer game today! What a gorgeous day to be out! I think it was actually one of the only days she was able to play without gloves and a sweatshirt under her uniform! She is so much fun to watch. She scored 2 goals today and the smile on her face when she is running after and kicking the ball is priceless! Her team is absolutely darling! What a fun bunch of little girls! She is very proud of her trophy and is looking forward to more soccer in the fall! Way to go Rach!

Way to go "Watermelons"!!

What a cute and VERY excited girl!

Nice kick Rach!!!

The parent tunnel after the game was always a big hit!
We are so proud of our kiddos!!

See you in the Fall!

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day MOM!
With all my heart I thank you MOM! For all that you do for each of us! For the love and support that you give no matter the day or the time! You never cease to amaze me at the things you can accomplish and the fun and love you radiate as you magnify your calling as Mother! You are truly an example to me! I LOVE YOU!

AND....
I am so grateful for my wonderful children and the opportunity I have to be a MOM! I am so blessed with patient and understanding kids and a loving husband who is truly my best friend and supports me in all that I do! I want to say thanks for a great Mother's Day! I was spoiled the entire day! Kevin and the kids started by making me yummy crepes while I went for a morning run. I thought Kev was so darn cute. He had downloaded a recipe from the internet... complete with strawberries, bananas and whip cream... and they were delicious! I especially loved the homemade cards!! So sweet! They all treated me like a princess all day long! I am such a lucky girl! I love you guys!

Proud Moment For Rachel

And very proud moment for Mom and Dad! Rachel was given the award of "CEO" for the quarter at school. It stands for Chief Example to Others and represents her dedication to school and learning... as well as her example as a good citizen in the classroom! The school had a nice awards ceremony for the kids and the Principal presented them with a t shirt and their certificate! We cannot believe how much Rachel has grown up this year at school! And we are constantly amazed at how much she has learned! We are proud of you Rach! Keep up the good work!

BAPTISM DAY FOR MITCH

Wow! What a special day for Mitchell! We are so grateful for the wonderful young man that he is and for the choice he made to be baptized today! We shared the day with family and friends whom we love very much! Congratulations Mitch! We love you big guy!


Mitchell was so proud to wear his new sports coat and tie! He says that one of his favorite things is the tie clip with a missionary on a bicycle. That melts my heart!

He also LOVES his new scriptures with his name engraved~


Seeing my sweet boy all dressed in white and so excited for this day gives me such an incredible feeling of gratitude! I feel equally blessed to have a husband who honors his Priesthood and can perform this beautiful ordinance for our children.
