HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO SOME OF MY VERY FAVORITE "MOMS"!

I have watched you over the years - laughing with your children, laughing at your children, crying over their mistakes, praying for them, sacrificing for them, teaching them, playing with them, and especially loving them. You have all been such a wonderful example to me and have blessed our family with your strengths, perseverance, and faith. Thank you so much for 13 beautiful grandchildren!!

WE LOVE YOU ❤

From BEN - We got to see Ben tonight, and he has sure grown taller. Angella shared his Mother's Day Project with me. I always love these, especially from 2nd graders.😂

This has been another busy week for us. I am still helping out at Liberty three times a week. Our seniors graduate on Tuesday, and the last day for the other students is May 21st. It has come so quickly, but I don't think anyone is complaining.

I am back in school this week, and hoping I can manage two classes - Social Innovation, and Digital Media. I was really busy yesterday trying to complete all of the assignments for the Digital Media class. It would be much easier if I knew more about digital media and marketing, but hopefully I'll learn.

Adam and Cory came over yesterday morning, and Adam helped Dad put the new toilet in the downstairs bathroom. The flooring guys came on Friday and put in the new floor. It looks so nice - just need to get everything put back in place, and we should be done.

They stopped at Sam's Club on the way home, and Adam called Dad to say they had a really nice outdoor furniture set on display. He sent some photos of it, and Dad thought it was a good idea, so he bought it, and Cory picked it up with their trailer. When they were done with the soccer games, they brought the kids, and everyone chipped in and put it together for us.

Thank you, Adam, Cory, Paul, Lily, and Jake!!!❤

While they were here, JAKE found some time to make an obstacle course where he could tempt fate on his rollerblades. He got creative and used some of the packing materials from the table and chairs.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO PAUL!

PAUL will be celebrating his 18th birthday on Tuesday! He is an amazing young man and can always make me smile. He has a summer filled with a family trip to the Lake of the Ozarks and some camping trips with friends. We love you so much, Paul!!!❤

SAYRE is still in charge on the soccer field! Yesterday, he scored a goal and had 2 assists.

Way to go, Sayre!
MAX and AMELIA

Max and Amelia had a great time visiting friends from his mission last week, including a date to Disneyland. I love this picture because I can clearly remember when he was little and we took all of the kids to Santa's Workshop for Grammie Camp. We talked him into going on the small roller coaster (I mean really small), and he just looked up and told me, "This is going to be the worst mistake of my life."
