Busy Week

So I can really tell it's May since it seems like we have so much more going on that usual. Last week the kids had a 3rd grade talent show. Emily played the piano and Jason did Karate. It was really cute to see how creative some of the kids' talents were. there were dog tricks, jump rope tricks, singing, gymnastics, dancing etc. It was fun to watch.

Of course we've also been having two baseball games a week for Jason and that's been interesting. He's been playing catcher sometimes and he seems to really like it. He's informed me that he's the 3rd best catcher on his team. Unfortunately I haven't been the wonderful (or if you ask my husband the embarrassing) mom and taken any pictures of him at baseball yet. Maybe at this weeks game I will.

We went one day last week to play with the cousins and I got this cute picture of Jason and Brighton hunting for bugs to put in the bug catcher box.

Finally the kids had their end of the year program and portfolio share on Friday. They did their cute songs and this year they even danced! It was so cute. I couldn't get any very good pictures, but I took some "video" with my (not a video) camera and hopefully I can figure out how to share those on here since I don't have any decent pictures. :) It was so cute to see them dance!

Saturday we were supposed to have some friends over for bbq, but they were sick so we called Jason's brother and his wife instead. It was nice to have people over. :)

What a great weekend!

Our family has had a very busy weekend. Friday night was the father and son's outing for our ward and so Jason and Jason went to that for the evening. Unfortunately they couldn't stay overnight to Jason Jr's disappointment and we don't have any pictures from it either since I didn't send the camera. Jason Jr. took our new kickball and started up a game there and it was such a hit he left the ball there so they could play some more!

Emily had a birthday party Friday night so I got some time alone that I ended up using to prepare my talk for church on Sunday. I know, why do they ask Mom's to speak on Mother's day?? Isn't that supposed to be our day off. ;)

Saturday began with Emily's piano recital. She played "the Flinstones" and "Swans on the Lake" and did a WONDERFUL job. We enjoyed her performance and Grandma and Grandpa even got to come!

Next we went to visit our cousins' yard sale/bake sale for the Relay for Life and Emily bought a cute hat and Jason got some treats.

Finally on Saturday I had the pleasure of going with Emily to Activity Girls Day camp. It was a lot of fun to go with her and spend the afternoon and all the leaders who prepared it did an AWESOME job. Here are a few pictures of the girls there.

Sunday was a great Mother's day for me. Both of my beautiful children made me fun little books and cards and gave me presents. It was so nice. They brought me breakfast in bed and let me mostly relax most of the day. It was a great ending to a great weekend! Thanks!

Track Meet

The kids had their district wide track meet yesterday. It was nice and hot yesterday too. They both had fun and did great. There weren't any "prizes" or anything so it was just for fun. Here are a few pics.

This is the softball throw. Fun, Fun, Fun!
