Yard Signs for the Boys!

We put out Ashton's band yard sign and then I went ahead and ordered one for Ethan and Cameron, as well.  Cameron actually graduated last August, but chose not to walk in a ceremony since they don't have a summer ceremony.  I thought we could give him a little post-graduation sign to help him feel celebrated!  My yard is decorated perfectly!

  

CAPR Awards for Ashton

 We were invited to the CAPR awards because Asthon is an HONOR SCHOLAR!  He has kept a 3.75 GPA for over three years.  There was a ceremony in the gym.  So proud of him!!

Mother's Day

 Mother's Day!  We had a lovely brunch with the parents after church which included quiche, bacon, new potatoes, salad, fruit and birthday donuts!  

Ethan cooked the bacon

Cameron fixed the printer

Ventura Getaway

 Derrik took me away for my birthday to the Cliff House Inn which has beautiful views of the ocean and a fabulous restaurant on site!  Such a fun present!!

Birthday #49

I had a lovely birthday week!  Ethan and Cameron got me the sweetest necklace.....so thoughtful and then Derrik got me flowers and took me to lunch.  We had yummy Chinese food for dinner and Crumbl cookies for dessert!  Cameron's girlfriend, Joy, even brought me over flowers.  We watched "Princess Bride" together as a family and it was fabulous!
