New Adventures on the Horizon

I have been neglecting this blog.  Hopefully now that tomorrow is my official first day of "summer" I will do better.  Lots of stuff has been going on lately,

*Riley and I traveled to Las Vegas last weekend to see Jimmy Buffett in concert (Riley's Bday present).  Vegas and Buffett were amazing.  Even the drive was nice, it's always good to get 5-6 hours of uninterrupted talking time.  :-)

*Sam has teeth!  His two bottom teeth and one top tooth are all the way in, with a second top tooth soon to follow.  

*Sam is crawling...everywhere!  I am loving it.  He loves to follow Max around, especially if Max has toys.

*Max is done with preschool!  Today was his last day.  He has had an amazing teacher this year and I am sad to see it end.  He is very excited to start Kindergarten, although I am still asking him NOT to grow up on me anymore!

*Today was also my last day of preschool.  I am very sad about this.  My class this year has been amazing, both the students and the parents, and the teachers I work with are fabulous.  I will really miss them!  Which brings me to the next point. . .

*I accepted a part time job at a local high school.  I am very excited about it!  I will be teaching health and drivers ed. to 10th graders in the fall.  Fun times!

*I am very excited for summer!  Some items on our agenda:  soccer and t-ball games, camping, Thanksgiving Point, swimming, Yellowstone, lazy days, playgroups, dance, etc!  What are you doing this summer?

Love this Article, Happy Mothers Day!

To My Mom

Happy Mother's Day Pam! I love you so much! You are such a huge support to me and my family, we are so lucky to have you.

I want you to know how much I have always appreciated having your example to look up to, you are so strong, independent, patient, and caring. Thank you for shaping me into the person I am today! Thank you for being my confidant too, being my shoulder to cry on on the bad days and the person to help celebrate the good ones! Thank you for loving my husband and family the way you have always loved me. I love the bond that you share with my boys, they both adore you. You are such an amazing grandma.

Thank you for being you and for loving me and my family unconditionally. We love you! Happy Mother's Day!

The Big 3-0!

Happy Birthday Riley! I have had a blast spending our 20's together and I can't wait to see what the 30's have in store for us!

Max wants to add "Happy Birthday dad, you're the best-est dad in the whole world and I love you so much." He also told Riley that he knew that he was getting pretty old but it is OK.

Sam spends most of his days blabbing "dadadada", already vocalizing his love for daddy. Today it also translates into "Happy Birthday old man. I fully plan on continuing to eat you out of house and home."

Happy Birthday Riley! You're the best! I hope you have an awesome day!
