Preschool Graduation + Urgent Care

Kamryn had preschool graduation (Even though she gets another year of it).  They were so cute.  They sang a bunch of songs showing everything they learned this year.

 Way to go Kamryn 4yrs old!

It was so fun to be there and watch......that was right before she fractured her arm!

We all had cake and went and visited in the back yard. All the kids were jumping on the trampoline. I didn't see Kamryn climb around the safety net and was walking along the mats on the outside of the screen. A little boy bumped into her and knocked her off. I didn't think it was broken because she could move it and wiggle her fingers, but she cried for a long time.  Good think I went to Urgent Care to check it out. It is fractured on her forearm right past the wrist! Not the best way to start summer break!

Renaissance Fair

The 7th graders have a Renaissance Fair every year.  They all have to dress up and participate.  I thought Brynn looked so pretty!

A Surprise Visit

My dear friend Makala from Nursing School (and was Travis's life long neighbor) went through the hard trial of Postpartum Depression after her twins were born.  One day I called her and I knew she was in serious trouble just by the sound of her voice.  Afraid I would offend her, I told her I had a friend who went through the same thing and wondered if I could have her talk with her.  Instantly Makala asked "Can she call me now?" Knowing I didn't have the tools to help my sweet friend, I knew someone who did.  So Shelly spoke with Makala on the phone for several months.  She was there for her in her darkest days!....Fast Forward and Makala is doing so much better and is throwing a survival party for her twins 1yr old birthday.  She wanted everyone who helped her survive this past year to come.  Even though she knew Shelly lived out of state, she still wanted to send her an invite. Shelly came up with the idea for us to go and surprise her at the party....so we did!

 We got to spend the afternoon shopping with Sherri and some of my sister in laws.

 The next day we were able have a lunch date with Makala and her friend Lizza.  She was Makala's angel here in WA during the past year.  SO happy for Makala that the year is behind her.  We loved our girl time!

That night all the Salisbury's that live near came together for a big date night at Texas Road House.  It was such a fun night to see everyone.  They are such a fun family. Being around Travis's family without him sure made me miss him!

The next morning we went to church in Travis's home ward.  We had a yummy Sunday dinner and headed back home.  This weekend was very touching and even though my part was small I felt honored to have had the oppertunity to be there.  Love you Makala!

Muffins For Mom

Drew had Muffins For Mom with his class. It was so cute, they sang for us, showed us around their classroom, and then served us muffins and juice! He is such

These are Drew's papers he gave me that day for Mother's Day!  Love that kid!

Unwanted Guests

We have had some visitors in our pool this spring.  My kids love it, but mom doesn't like the souvenirs they leave behind.  I have been trying to scare them away. I hear if they lay eggs, then they will come back every year! Have Mercy!
