5 months to go~

In five months, Loren and I will celebrate our 30th anniversary. I always like to remind myself how far we've come and how much we have "grown" in our relationship...literally! 

Remember when.....

In honor of Earth Day 2010

This morning (April 17, 2010) our family went on a little cleaning spree around our neighborhood. All the neighbors got together to beautify our community. We were assigned a spot where the main traffic come in, which is a place where there are not any homes built yet. This area has become a dumping ground for many who are passing by, throwing there paper, cans and bottles out the window.

Taylor was tired before we got going, but she was a trooper and kept on going.

Loren and I had decided we wanted the kids to learn to give service to others. What a better way to serve than in our own community.

Connor got an award for being Safe, Respectful, and Responsible

On Thursday, April 15, 2010 Connor got an award for being Safe, Respectful and Resposible at school. His teacher announced that he has mad the biggest gain in reading that she had ever seen. I was so excited for Connor has he stood there with a grin on his face from ear to ear.

Actually, how the day went was, I was just about to start painting the kids bathroom when my phone had a little beap, I didn't know what that noise was for, and looked at the phone and there was a message 1 hour until Connor's assembly. WHAT?  I took off running jumped in the shower, got ready, got Taylor ready and out the door we were. Then I backed out of the driveway, knocked over the trash can, had to pick up the trash in the street. Jumped back in the car and made it to the school with 10 minutes to spare. Here are a few pictures of Connor's special award.

Yeah for Connor!

The morning of the assembly, Connor walked in the kitchen wearing strips and plaids. I was about to tell him to go change, because I usally pick out his cloths, but I just said oh let him make his own choices. Since I didn't remember that there was an assembly, I did not think it was any big deal. Until I got to the school and realized what he was wearing...oh well, he is cute anyway!
