Shooting time

Aaron took Van shooting this weekend. They had a good time and Van was so excited to go spend the day with Aaron doing grown up things.

Our last Hurah's

Van finished his soccer season on Saturday. He has shown much improvement from the fall. His coach put lots of time into showing them soccer tecniques, and different moves - it is so fun to watch them use the tricks. Thanks Jill for a job well done.

Thirty Something

I have decided birthdays as you get older are more fun because it seems you celebrate for a longer period of time. Last Friday my mom and Steve cooked a delicious birthday dinner for me and my family, last night Melissa and Sarah took me out for dinner and some shopping, today is the actual day - cake and ice cream, and Aaron has arranged something for the weekend. So a week of people celebrating your birth is awesome - or I am just surrounded by awesome people who like to make me feel loved. Thanks everyone.

PLUS - Look how cute my students are, they have been giving me gifts all day. One student, Mason, had his mom bring in a cake - I've never had that before. I am so lucky!

Mother's Day

This is the first mother's day that feels like a true mother's day. Up until now it has been more of a husband treat your wife nice day. Van came into my bedroom at 7:00am to give me the gift that was prepared at school. He was so excited for me to open it, when I was done opening he said "I want to bring you breakfast in bed" I told him I didn't want to get cereal and milk all over the bed, and I would like to have all of us sit down at the table together. As I was getting up and getting cereal taken care of Van came in to tell me he had prepared a menu for tonights dinner, and that it was a surprise. He was just so sincere and cute in all his mother's day tactics, I really did feel appreciated. When it came time for dinner, I selected some items from the menu, and he served me dinner.
He is very excited to do the same for father's day.
Thanks Van for making mother's day so special, I love you.

20 days and counting

Any of you who have kids in school that get out June 5, there are TWENTY more days of school. I don't know if that is a good thing or not, but I am pretty excited!

The past few months

I think I haven't blogged in a while because it seems like we don't do anything. When I look at other peoples blogs, especially my sisters, we are boring - maybe I am a little jealous.

Here are a few pictures from some of the stuff we have done:

We went to Hurricane for spring break. Grandpa rented a rhino four wheeler for our family. It was so much fun. The kids loved being buckled in the back riding with their helmets on.

Grandma and Steve did an easter egg hunt for the kids, Kristi was in town - so all the kids were there. Van is going threw a stage of needing to have exactly what his cousin Spencer has, even if he really wants something else - I HATE IT!

Here is Finn cruisin to the finish line, I guess.

Van showing off his scooter stunts, he's so brave.

While Kristi was in town it was lil' Spencer's birthday. He invited Van to Chuck E. Cheese to celebrate - I thougth this was so cute (Kristi might have already put it on her blog?)

Ok, Ok, Ok

I think I am feeling like I want to blog again. I have many pictures to add, but they are from the last time I was on. So tomorrow I will post them all, they may or may not have comments.
Hope you all are having a great day.
