Dates

What a great day! Chase received the gift of a Shocker baseball game date with grandpa which he cashed in on today! The wind was a little cool to start out with....so much so that when Chase got done eating his ice cream (!!!!!) grandpa had to crack the peanuts and put them in Chase's mouth because he was so cold! Grandpa had so much fun teaching Chase about all the details of baseball, especially since Chase sat there for 3 hours without moving! What a special time they had together.
Chad and I decided Emily was in need of a mommy date so she picked a manicure as our destination. We had fun getting our nails done, getting a snack and doing a little shopping.

Emily had so much fun getting pampered....and I didn't mind either!

Showing off our nails while getting a snack at the mall..............

We ended the day by enjoying dinner with my dad and Jan at a new Mongolian restaurant. What a great day!

Kindergarten...here we come!

Oops....my pictures uploaded backward! Anyway, Chase had another session of "Kindergarten Connection" this week, the program that Maize has to prepare incoming Kindergartners to help them adjust. This was the BUS session. The kids did great leaving parents and taking a 15-minute bus ride before returning to the school to play on the playground and eat popsicles.

Getting off the bus.....I was far away and he didn't see me take this!

Bye Chase!

Getting on the bus....so thankful he's all smiles!

Listening to the rules about the bus from the principal.

He made sure to stop so I could get a picture!

Can't believe my youngest is going to Kindergarten! What fun!

Our Bunnies

Chad hasn't mowed the backyard for quite some time because he discovered a rabbit nest. Well, our babies are getting bigger and are SO adorable. We wanted to catch one today and watch it grow, but decided it was in the best interest of the little guys to stay with their family. It was sure fun to watch them this afternoon.

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day! I'm sitting in the recliner with my book, computer, camera, phones and a Diet Coke! The kids are watching a movie and Chad is being a loving husband and doing chores. What a great day. I've gotten some static from people lately about not updating the blog....so here goes. I can't update for the last 3 months but I will try to post some things once in awhile.

My new job is going well. Chad's job is going well. Chase celebrated his 5th birthday (I will try to post pics of that event this week.....). The kids have 2 weeks of school left. It's almost summer! YEAH!!!!!!

We went to Cheney yesterday evening and had a great dinner with his parents along with some outside play and even relaxing in the hot tub!

We went to church this morning and then Chad assisted me in teaching the 1st grade Sunday School class. We went to Avivo's Pizzeria for lunch which worked out great....we were the first customers which meant no wait and the food was excellent. We made a quick run to Target and then home for the rest of the day.

Emily made me a coaster with her picture on it at school!

Chase made me a plate at daycare that he colored and wrote a message on!

The kids showered me with gifts, got a few pictures and now we are relaxing. If you are a mom, I hope you have a great day relaxing and reflecting on those that made you a mom! What a gift we have been entrusted by from God. Thanks to my family for making me feel special. I love you guys.
