Happy Mothers Day!!!

My kids are the best!! They each made me a beautiful card at school and spent so much time planning and keeping their gifts to me a secret. That is soooo hard for them. They also went with Dad and each got me a charm for my pandora bracelet! Mothers Day is wonderful but I feel blessed each and every day that I get to spend with them. I love being Dalon and Claire's mom!

Dalon being Dalon ... hardly sits still long enough for me to get a shot of him & Granny
These days are usually really rushed...didn't get a shot of Mama Betty or Nana!!!
And we celebrated Jen & Nate's birthday! Where's Nate? He is usually trying to get out of my pictures...

4th Grade Fiesta

In Fourth Grade Dalon studied (and was tested on) all of the states, capitals and the regions themselves and what they each are known for. The southwest region was last so they celebrate by doing a fiesta...All the mom's brought in their families favorite mexican dishes and Dalon's suggestion was guacamole and chips! Wow... there was two tables full of homemade tamales as well as some taco bell ~ Can you guess what was gone first? Yep... the Taco Bell
"The gang" they did this by themselves!! I love to see the girls and boys sit together by choice especially at this age ~ They are usually on opposite sides of the room. This is a neat group of kids, they are all so cute and fun. I have really had fun watching them grow as I have worked with them since Kindergarden!!!
