Graduation!

We'll start with an update on Mark. He's finished his week long driving course at UPS and he did great and is so relieved it's over!


Looking sharp!

    And we had a birthday girl on Sunday and she was pretty stoked for her scavenger hunt to her first big-girl bike.
 
Love our Harley girl!
    
        And we got another high school graduate on the books! Congrats to Brock!






(Charlie is peaking out behind McClane.)


Cute Ada, lifelong neighbor and friend!

And lunch at Ruby River to celebrate!

        And on to Beau's end of school program. 
The joy on her face when she saw her mom, priceless.



Beau's school is pretty awesome.

        And now we have a little break, at least from school!

Love and support

         Mother's Day was interesting and a good amount of tootsie rolls were gifted by those who know me well. Kayli made a really cute "I Love You" framed note and Isaac and Morgan made delicious brownies. I'm all set for treats, at least for the week.

    
        Harley had her preschool graduation program and did great!


We sure love this girl!

    
        And I just got this adorable photo of Reese cuddling a baby chick. I don't know if I've seen anything this cute in awhile.



        I had planned to post a photo of Mark in his UPS uniform but he asked me to hold off. He heads out Sunday for Oregon for driving school! What a blessing and a true answer to prayer. 

        And now we head into the last few days of school and high school graduation for Brock. Lets GO!

Many fun things

     From a fun night of comedy to a fun afternoon with a couple of our favorite grand-girls.

Aaron Weber and Jay Flake, so hilarious!

We're so glad Mark and Rio could join in the fun!

    Isaac just couldn't handle the envy so he decided to join in the motorcycle fun. He bought himself his own Harley Davidson Sportster. Super cool!



And we finally celebrated our two April birthday guys!



    
    And we know how much I love the "Hope of America" program. This year I tagged along with our favorite neighbors. 


      
    And Ruckus rides with Papa are always fun.


    And a bowl of ice cream always hits the spot!


        From Friday to Friday, quite a lot of fun, I must say! Now on to our final 14 sleeps until summer break begins.

Living the dream

     Carter leads a pretty charmed life! With the money he made on the sale of his R6 bike he was able to pay cash for a pop-up tent for his Jeep and this cool 2015 Harley Davidson Sportster motorcycle. He also bought himself a new hand-gun. Starting out 21 like a boss!

The pop-up tent is on the Jeep in the background. 

I'll take this motorcycle over the bullet-bike any day.


There might be a little envy in Isaac.

    And I got another bright and fun set of gel-nails.



    And Mark is also living a bit of dream. He got to take the driving test at UPS, he passed it, and now he will be leaving soon for Texas to do the week long driving school and will be a temporary UPS driver soon and then, eventually, a full-time driver. A real miracle!
    And, of course we can't start off May without another photo addition from the best calendar ever made. Anyone need a little help in the garden!?
