My Sweet Grandma Bonnie!

My sweet grandma Bonnie passed away on May 2nd. 

It was a bitter/sweet passing.

Her body was ready to go 'home'...but our hearts wished she could stay. 

I am so grateful to know that my family is eternal...and I KNOW I will see, and be with my sweet grandma one day.

Oh how I love her, think about her every day, and miss her sweet way of always making me feel so loved by her!

She was, and always will be...my hero!

Hello May...

May was a lovely month of fun for us. 

Our good times included...

Hopefully our last Ortho appt. for Paige (yay)!

The weather has been amazing...lots of fun with water.

We saw a few movies!

 Our friends "The Jones" had this little beauty...she is yummy!

We had some good times at Classic Skate!

Cais gave me my mothers day presents early...love them!

Someone lost his first tooth!!! He was so excited!

Ellie and I had a fun date...we shopped and had lunch together, and I love that sassy girl. It's so fun to spend one on one time with my kids. It's a must!

Doc visit for Paige...so of course we had a photo shoot! 

 I finally used my Christmas present...

We had a neighborhood garage sale for our awesome friends the Jamieson's. Jake is battling cancer for the 2nd time, and cancer sucks! It was so fun, so much support, and we raised $6,000!!

Mothers Day! I'm a lucky lady...so blessed to be a mom!

 Guess who lost his 2nd tooth! Love that smile!

Yay the sno-cone shacks have opened!!

A dinner date with the kids (Cais was golfing of course)!

Bring on the field trip!! Jack and I ventured w/Ellie up to "This is the Place"...it was so freaking awesome. I live for field trips!

We got our 'sunning' on!

And a pic with these lovely friends of mine, who I love! 

And April comes to an End...

We ended the month of April with some more awesome fun...

Dinner at CPK with my siblings.

Late night yogurt run, a must!

These sassy soccer players ripped up the field!

For mothers day we sent my mom a 'pandora bracelet'. We let each of the 7 grandkids pick out a charm for her. My kids wanted to take a picture of them holding the charm they chose. 

Caiser decided to flood half of our family room in the basement. He "thought" he turned the hose off the night before...idiot!

I won "sister of the year"...Phil & Alaina were moving out of their house, so I took their boys for a night. And Kara & Kurt went to Aruba, so I took her kids for 3 days. We loved having a house with 7 kids...kind of!

And last...my brother's new house. So excited for them to move in! And so excited they are closer to us...south end of the valley is where it's at!!

Miss Ellie turns 10!!

Guess who turned 10...my Ellie!

Oh how I love this girl! She is my sassy, sweet, fashionista! I love that she is always willing to help me do anything, she still thinks its cool to play with Jack, and I can always count on her to make me smile!

She is my "brown eyed girl"!

The festivities started Sunday with a family pizza/birthday party. 

Then the BIG DAY...April 17th.

We started with our traditional "wake the birthday girl up" picture.

Father of the year grabbed a birthday "Jamba Juice" for Ellie.

For lunch we surprised Ellie, and brought her favorite sandwich to school "Jimmy John's"...

After school grandma stopped by with balloons and some birthday love!

And then onto the most awesome birthday party ever...

Classic Skate!

 

 Love me a good birthday celebration. And Love me some Miss Ellie!
