Mall Outing

 We went over to the mall for ice cream and got a chance to let the younger ones play!

Rockin' and Bouncin'

Ethan, his friend, Austin and Cameron have started a band called, "Full Range Locals" and have been recording some music over the last few months.  This week when they met for practice, they took a photo.  Some of their band's music has been posted on Ethan's facebook page.










 
 We attended a friends birthday party at a trampoline place and I got some photos of all three boys playing around.

Father's Day

 We had such a fun day celebrating Derrik today!  He was treated to breakfast and cards in bed and then helped with a much needed project, carpet cleaning!  :)  Then, we went out for lunch and then off to the bowling alley.  We made sure he got a nap and then we grilled a yummy dinner and watched some basketball over strawberry shortcake.  He was sure fun to celebrate!

Visit to Apple Valley

We went to Apple Valley and visited the grandparents.  Had a lovely visit and enjoyed the public pool and a new sprinkler!

Awards and New Chapters

We're finishing the year on a high note.....Cameron earned 2 awards (perfect attendance and service as valet helper) and Ashton earned the Effort award!  So proud of these boys!

Ethan finished his last day of school the end of May.  We are now parents of a high schooler.  So amazing how fast it all goes!

Cameron and Ashton finished up their year yesterday.  We went out this morning to celebrate!  We are so ready for summer!

Open House

 The Choir and Drumming groups I direct finished their semester with a morning concert for their fellow students and parents.

Our school year is SLOWLY wrapping up and so much has happened over the last few weeks.  Here are some photos from Open house:

Mother's Day!

My Mother's Day started with a special card from Ashton that he made at school (very precious.)  He helped me make breakfast while we waited for everyone else to wake up.  Once everyone was ready, we headed down to the Griffith Observatory.  We got a great view of LA and the Hollywood sign!  It was a very fun day!

Ashton Soccer Celebration

Ashton had his soccer party last weekend and was honored for being the "most improved" player for the season.  Great job, Ashton!

Happy Birthday to Me!

 I had such a lovely birthday!  I was treated to a yummy breakfast, roses, cards and gifts.  Ethan didn't get in any photos since the 8th grade class went to Magic Mountain for the day.  But I did get an "initiated hug" that I savored.  :)  Thank you everyone for making my day so awesome!  "40,"  Here we come!
