Ty

Every time Ty says the prayer, whether it's before we eat or at bedtime, he always says, "Bless that we can go to Sea World and that I can go to Kannon's house (his little friend). Bless Mommy to feel better...". It's VERY cute!!

Luke

Yesterday Luke said (as he was hugging me), "Mom, you're the strongest out of anyone. You're the strongest woman I know".

It was so sweet for him to say that because he has watched me go through so much...recovery from surgery, chemo, etc. I am so proud of him and for his ability to understand so much at such a young age. I hope he's still a sweet compassionate boy even when he's all grown up. As his mom, that would make me happy beyond description.

EASTER 2008

We had a really nice Easter! Grandma Debbie has been staying with us (and will be here until the 29th) so it was really fun to spend Easter with her. We had a yummy feast and were happy to have Alayna and Ashlie spend their Sunday with us, too.

Spring Break

The kids are on Spring Break until the 25th and I've been trying to make it somewhat fun for the boys since we aren't going anywhere. They've all been spending a lot of time at Grandma's this week and have been having a blast.

Yesterday was a fun day...Jake spent the day with Grandma while Luke, Ty, and me had a fun pizza party while we watched a movie. We played horseshoes and rode bikes. I had a fun day with my bigger boys.

Today, Jake is home with me and the big brothers are at Grandma's. I wanted to spend the day just me and Jakey. We've had fun playing and I'm grateful for the time that I get to spend with my baby!

PICTURES

Luke's Book

This was the book that Luke made in school the other day. SO CUTE! Everyday I am amazed at how much love he shows to his momma. Looking at this little book makes the frustrating moments of motherhood totally worth it.
(Translation below)

"The Boy That Loved His Mom"

"The mom was so cute. That's why the boy was liking her. One day the boy liked mom so much he wanted to kiss her. The End."

LUKE' PENNIES

Luke is doing an awesome job reading and spelling out words on his own. We are so stinking proud of him!! The above picture is his drawing of "5 pennies". We had to explain to him how to spell pennies the correct way. We all got some chuckles out of that one!

Another Cake

We have some friends who are moving to Utah this week (sniff sniff). I wanted to do something fun for them and since they enjoy playing Guitar Hero on their Wii (and the fact that they totally ROCK!) ...I decided to do another guitar cake. We'll miss you Nelson family!!
