Busy May, Tired Mom...

May was really busy! I am looking forward to those lazy days of summer....oh, wait....three boys....three boys....lazy summer.....yeah, that doesn't really go together! 

Sam is an awesome soccer player! I love watching him play! He loves playing defense and he is really good at it.


Ben is also an awesome soccer player! I love how he is not afraid to get in there and go after the ball! He is tough out there.


Ben decided to do baseball this year and has improved so much over the season. He hit his first home run a few weeks ago and I was sure proud of him! Way to go, Ben!


Ben also takes tumbling and boys hip hop. He had a performance on May 19th and I love watching him perform! He is made for the stage. During practice he doesn't put his whole heart into it, but give him a stage and an audience and he rocks! He is such a good dancer.



Sam had his third grade program and I just have to say that he was so handsome up there! He was really getting into it and was having lots of fun. I even got teary eyed at one point...all the third graders did such a good job.


Sam earned his Wolf in scouts! I was so proud of him and I know his daddy was too. He was so excited to receive it. He talked about it all week and kept asking if "today was the day he got his Wolf badge." He is such a sweetheart! I am excited he gets to be in Bears with me in a few weeks!


This is what you could find Jack doing during our busy month of May...




Just smiling and being my cute Jack Jack!


We made time for roasting marshmallows and enjoying the beautiful sunsets. I sure love my boys!



I was also in charge of teacher appreciation week at the elementary school. That was a lot of work! I had awesome people to help me though and it ended up being a fun week for everyone. West Bountiful Elementary teachers are SUPER HEROES! I went on the first grade field trip to the zoo. There were thousands of first graders wandering the zoo. It was just a little crazy!


I also helped with the third grade field day. We walked to the park from the school, played games at the park all afternoon, and walked back to the school. I was so tired! I almost wanted to whine along with all the third graders about walking back in the heat!

My wonderful neighbor built some garden boxes for me and he also helped get the dirt into them. Hopefully I can repay him with some yummy veggies I planted last week. Here's to hoping they actually grow! (Last year's garden wasn't so successful.) I finally planted my flowers in the rock retaining wall that got finished last summer. It was Joe's idea to put it there and it looks beautiful. Jonas would have loved it. My other wonderful neighbor helped me paint Jack's room. He has a really cute room now and he loves it! I am surrounded by awesome people that are always so willing to help me. Thank you! We appreciate all of you so much!
