Band nerds

Merry and Jacob at the Spring concert.

This is Jacob's last year in band so his last concert.

No such luck for Merry now that we own a saxophone.

Merry was also named the MVP for the 6th grade volleyball players.

A lady of many talents.

 You can tell the other kids were highly entertained by the band concert.

The music even put Eliza to sleep.

Because I didn't get a picture with his baritone at the concert here is a picture of the last MPAs for Jacob, (Aiden and Rylan in the background.)

Mother's Day

Me with the my sweet kids on Mother's Day.

 Jacob is so kind and funny.  He is super sarcastic which I love and hate at the same time.

Merry is so smart and determined.  Once she decides she wants something she is unstoppable.

 Grace is so sweet and helpful.  She is the other mother to Eliza which is such a big help.

 Adam is so energetic and spunky.  He is like an energizer bunny.

 Eliza is so sassy and bright.  She definitely keeps us on out toes.

 Love these kids and I am so glad I am there mom.

Adam and Eliza were the only ones that will still allow kissing.

Adam's baseball

 The end of another baseball season.

 His team had a rough year but finally figured it out by the playoffs.

 They ended up in second place.

Good job Adam!

Preschool graduation for the baby

Happy preschool graduation to Eliza.

 She loved her teacher Ms. Kathy.

 Sweet Eliza. Her class sang all the preschool hits like Florida alphabet and Peace like a river.

 With our crazy schedule Grace was the kid able to come.

Me and my sweet girls minus Merry.

Eliza had such a great time at Sacred Heart and made such good friends.

She is looking forward to joining Adam and Grace at the big school.

Universal Studios

 Eliza with the minions.

 How could you resist taking pictures with these classic characters.

 Adam happy about a butter beer.

 Butter beer and a red phone booth in Harry Potter land.

The real reason Jacob loves Universal is the Lard Lad donuts, the year before we had waited too late in the day and he was so sad he didn't get one.  The girls went on the roller coster while Jacob enjoyed the donut.

Adam's first pinewood derby

 Adam completed his first pinewood derby.

 He was so excited he won first place.

One happy camper.

 One of his cheerleaders.

Another cheerleader.

Happy Birthday to me

 Happy birthday to me. 

For my birthday we got to take pictures.

 We had to break out the Easter finery today as last week was general conference so we stayed in pjs.

 All the kids.

An outtake of getting set up for pictures.
