 "Wow" & "Phew"

The boys fought hard for the win tonight as they were down until the last two minutes! 

I'm so happy we came out on top and we now play in the championship on Friday!

One of the moms has been shooting all the games and I couldn't pick just one of Z (Photo credit to her).  He had his best game of the season and scored 5 goals and had 3 assists. 

So fun to watch.

 We couldn't round up the whole family for this picture, but we were all there cheering!  

Along with Uncle Curt!

"Without my kids, tomorrow wouldn't be worth the wait and yesterday wouldn't be worth the remembering"

I am truly blessed to be the mother of these amazing children. I'm living my dream!

Happy Mother's Day! 

P.S. - I love my new earrings from The Jett! He picked them out himself! I was also spoiled with workout clothes, bubble bath, coupons, flowers and a yummy dinner! Happy Day!

After twenty years of marriage we are finally the proud owners of our first lawn mower and edger!

Can you tell I'm a little excited!

A gift for my boys.  

How have we done it all these years? Long story.

1st playoff game.  They rocked it 16-2!

After the game the boys all presented two roses to their moms. I was the only lucky mom who received four!

Thank you Jim for bringing these treasures home from your mission!

They have been used for EVERY country report and assignment!

He wrote a song about Colombia to the tune of "Take Me Out to the Ball Game".  

Cutest thing ever!

Take me down to Colombia

The gateway to South America

There are mountains and deserts and rain forests

there are cities and beaches so glorious

Where they eat rice, chicken and cocoa beans

Their ancestors came from abroad

They are Indians, Africans & Europeans

Celebrate, dance and applaud

There are frogs, ants, jaguars, and monkeys

The capital is Bogota

Population 45 million and speaks Spanish

Soccer, coffee and emeralds are big

Borders Panama, Venezuela, Brazil, Ecuador and Peru

If you don't go it's a shame

It's a yellow, blue and red striped flag

And Colombia is it's name

For FHE we took a stroll at the school's Art Gallery Stroll.

We found some pretty talented pieces from three very talented artists!

 We came home to five very excited children!  

We really missed these cute faces.

We also celebrated my sweet mom's birthday!
Words can't express my love and admiration for her.

She hosted a BBQ & was surrounded by all her family in the valley!

My favorite cake I enjoy every year on my mom's birthday made by my talented sister!

It was our last day in Cancun and it started to sprinkle for the first time.

 Later we sat under a canopy and watched a complete downpour for about 20 minutes!

I love the rain, especially when it's warm out and I'm not getting wet.

 Last picture of the trip.  A beautiful night & the view from our room.

On our walk I spied this abandoned tower! Perfect photo opportunity.  I don't know why Jim would not pose too!

We moved hotels today (long story).  But we were very excited for our new ocean view suite at the JW Marriott!  While we were relaxing we both made trips to the room.  Without knowing it, we both took pictures of each other from our room balcony!  So funny when we showed each other later in the day.
