Catching up...

Highlights from the past week or so...

The last few days at school were a little crazy with some fun on the side. For many years Mr. Proetel has grilled up savory German brats with all the fixings. He grew up in Germany but has lived in Utah for about twenty years. He even had German music playing. Mr. Proetel is so kind and generous. The students like him and so do I.

I was headed outside for lunch and caught a glimpse of Kindergarten graduation, they are so cute.

My Dream Team

Logan ~ Jeneane ~ Jeanne ~ Lauren ~ Mindy ~ Jeanette ~ Me ~ Walker

We have collectively subbed over 200 times and fulfilled many other responsibilities this school year. I love this group and I showed my appreciation with some orange rolls! 

I love Mr. Corless, he has become a good friend. He is a favorite teacher among the students. He has had a difficult year since he son was diagnosed with kidney cancer at three months old. Through many fundraisers at the school, we were able to donate over $50,000 dollars to help with medical expenses. We are all still praying the little Mikey will be cancer free in the near future. He will celebrate his first birthday next month. 

I have enjoyed being an aide for Mrs. Petersen. She is so organized and is one of the best teachers at our school. She gave me a huge gift basket with all the stuff to make smores. She said I could share this with my grandsons and I did! I love Nicole, she's a dear friend.

Silly students!

I really enjoy Spring sports season. I'm sad it's coming to an end. We love watching the Cash, Colby, Grey, and Grahm play soccer and baseball.

Grahm's fan club! 

Grahm scored a lot of goals!

Ryder and Cash

I love Cash so much. He's taller than me! I'm so grateful I have had a front row seat to watch him grow up. It's happening so fast!

More Friday fun!

Grahm likes to play with the pirate treasures.

Colby and Grey did a great job painting these wreaths!

Spinning tops in the tub, why not! 

Best friends!

My piano boys

Sunday we had another piano recital, Colby's second and Grey's first! Colby started taking lessons about two years ago and Grey about five months ago. I'm very proud of their hard work and progress. 

It's a privilege to teach Colby and Grey. I hope they will always have a love for good music. My goal is for them to learn enough to play the hymns and even some Primary songs.

It was wonderful to have Nana and Grandma Darling join us.

I was sitting at the piano with the boys so I didn't get any pictures of them playing their songs.

After the recital Grahm played an original piece, it was very cute! Then Cash and Colby played Heart and Soul.

Colby wanted banana splits for a treat again and Grey asked for donuts. What a fun evening! 

Weekends are days to refuel your soul...

 and to be grateful for the blessings that you have.

Sweet moment when Colby's coach was giving him a few batting tips.

I asked Grahm to leave his dinosaur at our house but he said he couldn't, because he loves Zach! 

Colby sculpted Grandpa with playdough!

Grey the Goalie

It was his first time and he did great. Grey blocked two shots!

As we were walking to the car after the game, Grahm saw a bunch of sunflowers seeds on the grass. He looked at them and said, "Those are Dad's." 

Grahm asked me to take his picture and he said he would smile. I had a nice breakfast with Grey and Grahm after the soccer game.

Colby doing one of his chores, he's a wonderful boy.

Grandpa planted the garden!

Weekends and Blessings...

Sunflower seeds and all...

I enjoyed watching Colby play baseball this afternoon. He has a stash of sunflower seeds in his backpack, and each time he came in from the field he would grab a few! He seemed happier and more comfortable at this game than he has before. He was laughing and talking with his teammates. He told me he likes having his neighbor Miles as the coach. We had dinner at JCW's after the game, I love hanging out with Colbs. 

I think he looks like his Dad in this picture!
