Hi

This month has gone by so fast...it happens to me every May and then Gabe's Birthday creeps right up on me. Just signing to say I will get caught up with some posts about whats going on.

Dance Recital

Elly was so excited for this day to come....she wanted to show off her dancing skills to everyone I even had to text her old teacher Miss Ralstein to come... sadly, she couldn't make it.
She was still able to show off those skills to Grannie Annie, Nanna and Grandpa, Scott, Jamie, Bryn, Braden, Boden, Beckam and Me...she is so good at dancing, we loved watching her and Kate too. They both rocked it.

Pre-School Graduation

Isaac and Talin were so crazy today. Completely GOOFY. It was so fun to watch them just be "little boys" in their pre-school graduation paerformance.

Isaac says

"mom, why do you be a photographer just be a plain mom"

Its a Happy Place

Bryn was grounded today (for disrespecting family members yesterday) and Gabe woke up with a soar throat but miraculously got better...then, still chose not to go to school. They both had a few jobs to do for me. YES! I loved it. Its funny to say that it was a blessing to have them grounded we gotta a lot of work done. Later, I made a comment and wished they would be grounded more often. So then Greg chimed in to do some teasing. Lets say they may think more about the choices they are making if they don't want to do EXTRA jobs.
I loved this scene of them all getting along on the tramp. The photos also make me laugh because of the blurriness you know, the movement. I once took a shot like this with my "nice" camera and showed the shot to a friend and then she said, because it had some blur, "I thought you had a nice camera" I laughed and said thats what I wanted the shot to look like. She didn't really understand why I would "want" it like that but she just doesn't get it.

Mom's Day Gift

This is the poem I got from Elyse on Mother's Day. Love getting things that my kids make. She's come up with a few more since then. I didn't right them down and now I can't remember them. I'm gonna have to ask her again tomorrow.

And it says:
Dear Mother
Your love is like awesome,
Your eyes are so cute
May I tell you a pome
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Stop watching t.v. because you like me.

Love,
Elly

A Mother's Day

Its been an emotional day...a lot of thoughts going on in this head...need to clear them, and what a better way to clear the brain but to blog. As I think back this past month I look at all the fun things we've done and the challenges we have had before us. I truly am confused as to what the lord wants me to do. But what I do know is that I am blessed and have a wonderful family that loves me and I love them.
