May madness!

So this month has been a very busy one for sure!  The month started out with a fun cowboy program that Sara was in. She had so much fun and it is an adorable kindergarten tradition at Longview.

A really great occasion was on Sunday, Braeden was ordained a Deacon at church. He was so excited! He was sitting up on the stand waiting for Dave to announce him and Anna saw him up there and yelled at the top of her lungs "Braeden, get off the stage!"  I thought I was going to lose it. He was set apart by Dave, Grandpa Sabin, Bishop Mayne, and Josh Greene. What a wonderful opportunity to see Dave be able to ordain him! He said that he couldn't wait to go to the Temple! We are so lucky to have him as a son!

We also had a great Memorial Day! Dave had to work so the kids and I went to see Shrek and went to lunch with Becky and the kids. We ate at a park and all was well until Anna decided to throw up into our Subway bag! Lunch over. We went home to relax and let Anna sleep it off. Later, when Dave got home from work, we took some flowers to his parent's grave. It was beautiful weather and we hung out and went to grab some dinner after with the family. That night, Sara decided that she would throw up as well. Apparantly they had decided to have fruit punch for dinner because it took me about an hour to completely clean up the mess on her carpet. Dave and I were up until 2:30 cleaning. Well, Dave tried. He hates vomit so grabbed a face mask and gloves for his part. Dave officially had the day off after that because he needed to stay home with the girls the next day because I had to be to the school.

The following day, Braeden had his field day for the 6th grade. I was in charge of the lunch. Fun! We had a barbeque with hot dogs, chips etc. Can I just say that barbequing in 58 degree weather is so not fun! The kids had fun though. Murray Police Department brought their K9 unit in for a demonstration, the Murray Fire Department set up the slip and slides and ran all the water games and the kids had some other games planned. They had fun, regardless of how wet they got!

Today I had the privilege of seeing Braeden participate in his 6th grade graduation! I know, I am officially old or at least it felt that way. I didn't realize that I would get a little emotional about it but I am so proud of him and the young man that he is becoming. He received an honors award for getting good grades and received a writing award. It seems like yesterday that he was born and look at how time flies. Braeden, great job!!! Love you!
