Busy Busy

We have been keeping busy these last few weeks of May..can't believe it is going to be June!
Trey finished up soccer and did so well!! His coach wants to try and keep the team together.
Trey also finished first grade with an excellent report card!! He is going to keep reading this summer and his teacher sent home some worksheets for all the kids to do during the summer. He has already been asking when he can start them, he has one for June and one for July.
Last week we had 2 high school graduations..Congrats to Alyssa and Calli!! We drove down for Alyssa's on Wednesday and had to drive home the same night. Her ceremony was nice and it was really cool out. It started raining as soon as we went down to see her and take pictures. We did get to spend a little time with my family before, but they had parties going on after. She is going to go to Pima Community College and then transfer to the U of A for nursing...well, those are her plans for now. The next day was Trey's last day of school and he got released at 11. We all met him and brought flowers for him to give his teacher. Then we headed to Calli's graduation at the Cardinal's stadium. That was nice being inside because it was longer. Calli is going to the Paul Mitchell beauty school here...lucky me, 2 hair stylists in the family!! We spent that afternoon swimming and then went to the movies with Mark's family that night. Saturday my family came up to go out on the boat. We were out 9-5...can you say lobsters!! Everyone got a turn on the new tube, even my mom and Coby. After that we stopped by Calli's graduation party and ate dinner. Sunday we all went to church and then some people headed home and my parents and Lindsey stayed. Monday we went to Mesa to see my grandparents and great aunt and uncle. We ate lunch at Olive Garden and then stopped by the hospital to see my grandpa. We stopped and did a little shopping in Tempe since we are not on that side of the valley a lot. We went out on the boat yesterday and the boys are out again today. We are looking forward to the summer, well not the heat, but all the family time we get to have!!

Mom's Day

First I must say that my greatest joy in life is being a mom!! My boys are the best treasures I could have ever been given.
On Mother's Day, Father's Day and Birthdays we let the person of honor choose all their feasts for the day. So the boys got up and made blueberry muffins and brought me my gifts. Mark had kindly informed me that I was getting a hodge podge of stuff that the boys picked out. Trey made a book, poem and bookmark for me at school. They bought me roses, LOTS of chocolate, a toothbrush and a shower loofah (are my boys telling me I need to work on my personal hygiene??HEE HEE).
I had been craving burgers on the grill, so that is what I requested from Mark. Oh were they yummy! He marinated them in teriyaki sauce and grilled pineapple and a purple onion blossom. For dessert he made strawberry shortcake.
Thank you my sweet boys!
