Mima came to visit

Mima came to visit us a couple of weeks ago. During that time Haven went to another trial gymnastics class and liked it. She really was getting the hang of things by the time it was over. If only it was a 2 hour class she would have been doing everything. I am going to put her in a class when Jake is back in school.

Here she is when we first got there. She was not to sure about things

Jumping on the trampoline. At first she wanted to hold my hand or Mima's but she did get used to it

She took a while to get on this. She would call this the boat.

This was round 2 for the rings.

Walking on a big trampoline. She would not do this by herself.

We filed up our baby pool for Haven and Jake. Here is Jake getting water out for a water gun. He is such a good looking kids.

Haven playing in the water. This is what her hair looks like after a nap and usually the rest of the night, unless we go somewhere

Jake's Last day of First Grade

Thursday May 27 was Jake's last day of school. He had a half day that was just full of playing, saying goodbye and signing yearbooks. I came for the last 10 min of class just to say my goodbye's. Jake was not being himself but I just thought that he was sad about school being out. He told me that his stomach hurt and he wanted to go home. You see, 2 days before this Haven had a stomach bug. So when he wanted to leave I said okay. I told him he needed to take one last picture with his teacher and to get his report card from her and we would go. Well after I took this picture, he came and sat down and puked on the floor. I felt so bad for him.

This is a picture that Haven took. She took many more of the whole thing but I don't think anyone would want to see.

Jake we are so proud you. You are a great student. Your teacher told us you are one of the top kids in reading, spelling and math. She also informed us that you are the nicest kid in the class and can get along with everyone. You have made us so proud. You have grown up so much in the past year. You are a wonderful son, friend, student, and Christian boy. Keep up the great work. I can't believe you are going to be a big second grader next year. Time sure does fly by. We love you so much Jake.

GO SUNS!!!!

Lets Go SUNS! Beat the Lakers.

Mother's Day

I had a wonderful Mother's Day this year. Jake made me a card and a very special book. Regan and the kids planned a full day of events that we got to do as a family. First we all got ready and they took me to go get donuts. If you know me at all, I love donuts. Then we went to the botanical gardens here in Phoenix. Regan and I decided that it was over rated (unless you love cactus) it is nothing like the one in Texas. They did have the butterfly exhibit which was very cool. I have never seen so many butterflies. Jake and Haven really loved this exhibit and Jake and I were lucky enough to have a butterfly land on us. We walked around the garden and saw lots of wild life (lizards, frogs, and things like that, a boys dream). After the garden they took me to one of my favorite places to eat, Honey Bears. It is a BBQ place that is far from our house so we never go. It was great. Then we came home and I got to take a nap. I had such a great day spending special time with the family.
I am very blessed being a mother of two amazing children. Thank you Jake and Haven for making my job so easy. You guys are the best kids that a mother could ever have. Regan thank you for being a wonderful husband and giving me the chance to stay at home and raise our children. It is the best job that anyone could ever ask for. I know that things get tough sometimes but I would not change anything.

Jake's Field Day

Jake had Field Day last week. The weather was just perfect and all the kids had a wonderful time. Here are a few pictures that I was able to take before the batteries ran out on my camera.
