Playing catch up...

Finally my computer is in working order...YAY! On Thursday March 31,2011 we stood on Orchard Village with our flags (and our snacks)... and our hands over our hearts honoring the family of the soldier that was killed.


On Friday April 1st, I made cinnamon rolls for a surprise baby shower for Ashton's teacher and the other K-1 teacher that is having a baby. Mrs. Curtis-on the left- is Ashton's teacher and Ms. Staci are looking at the books that were made for their baby. Each of the students were asked to make a page that said "Your mommy taught me..." and Ashton finished the sentence..."about sheep, pigs and cows." and then draw a picture and Ashton drew a picture of him with all of his friends at school.

That same day it was SO HOT and when we got home from school I told the kids they could go out on the trampoline with the hose...that was SO FUN!
On April 2nd it was Ashton's first coach pitch softball game.







We had a great Conference Weekend...too! I just LOVE Conference weekends. I am always so uplifted and have a desire to do better.

What a great start to our week of Spring Break.

On Monday Ashton lost his tooth...

we did a lot of cleaning, a lot of running, playing games, playing at the park, watched Tangled EVERYDAY! I LOVE that movie...has to be my favorite! Ashton got a buzz cut from Aunt Sophi, did some baking and some decorating cause we had a baby shower for Aunt Sophi on Saturday...we are so excited to welcome baby Lucy!

Honoring a Fallen Hero!

We received the following information from Kymmer Crookston...Sgt. Ian Gelig, 25, of Stevenson Ranch, was killed in Kandahar, Afghanistan on March 1st when his patrol unit was hit by a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device.
We had the privilege of joining many others in lining the streets for the procession this afternoon. What a honor it was to stand and show the family how grateful we are for their son's service!









Such a great opportunity! Such a great experience! So emotional when I saw the faces of his family! So glad our family could take part and we could teach our children that we are honoring a hero who died fighting for our country!
