Hot N' Cold

It's been kind of crazy around here lately with the
weather getting hot and the school year coming to
an end. Taggart finished up his last year of preschool,
so he's on to kindergarten this fall! He has come so
far since he started two years ago! He was struggling
with some speech his first year, so we put him in speech
therapy. He progressed so quickly that even
his speech therapist was amazed! He finished
all the steps in just 5 months. He is such a fast learner
and I am so proud of his accomplishments! Also
even though his last day of school isn't until tomorrow,
Zander graduated from kindergarten last week.
I can't believe it! It seems like just yesterday that I
was dropping him off for his first day! He has come so
far too! he is growing up so fast, its just weird
to think he will be in first grade.
I think its officially summer! It's been so hot lately, the
kids and I have been taking every advantage! Of course
I have also been losing my mind and have forgotten
my camera everytime!! We went hiking up to red cliffs
about a month ago, and with all the snow melt off, there
was a lot more water up there than normal. My friend
Annie and I decided to be a little crazy and went cliff
jumping into that icey water! I don't think I have ever
been in water so cold! It literally took my breath away!
We have also spent a couple of days playing at the river,
and a couple of days just this week swimming at Sand
Hollow Reservoir. The kids have so much fun playing in
the sand and water, I feel so lucky to live so close to these
fun places!

Mothers Day

I have to say that I think I have the best husband in the
whole world! no offense to all those other wives who think
the same thing! ; ) Well BJ let me sleep in on mothers day,
and him and the kids made me breakfast in bed! French toast,
and they were really yummy! BJ is always doing sweet things
like that for me. He really likes to cook, and his favorite meal
to make is breakfast, so I guess I'm really lucky! Plus I didn't
have to clean up the mess either! Zander and Taggart were
super excited to give me their gifts they made. Zander made
me a flower with his handprint for the flower and BJ helped
Taggart make me a card. He drew a picture of me and him
and a tree, so we could pretend to climb it. I love the way
kids think! Zander and Taggart kept saying they loved me
and wanted to give me hugs all day, they said it was because
it was mothers day. later that night when everyone was
getting ready for bed, Zander asked me if I had a good day.
Sometimes I forget how thoughtful he can be! Being a mom
is a tough job, most days! Even though I want to scream at
them or pull my hair out sometimes. But when they say I
love you or give you a big hug, just because it makes it all
worth it! I wouldnt change the way my kids are for anything.
I love my family more than anything and I appreciate all the
wonderful things they do for me! I feel so blessed to have such
great kids and husband!!
