YMCA 1k race...again.

No pre race jitters here!
Warming up, making friends and checking out the goodies for after the race...free panera bread and meadows ice!


On your mark, get set....GO!

This year, Andrew came in 5th and Brandon came in 6th!!!




Last year, Mason was last, but this year he came in somewhere in the middle! He loves to run!




Brandon's 3rd Grade Celebration!

Brandon's class "signing and singing" a song about the earth...so precious!




Mrs. Francisco, an awesome teacher, gave each student a personalized award and the award was a candy bar specific to their award. Brandon patiently waited through each classmate getting their award, the kids would try and guess who she was talking about before she revealed the winner and finally at the end, Brandon received the "Starburst" award for being a bright and shining star and all around great student and kid who will go far! Way to Go B!!!!!!!!!
sidenote...his teacher LOVES stars!

Fun Times

Mark and Wendi brought back these cool drums for the boys from Ethiopia.

On Monday, Ben Chambers was having a Luau to celebrate all the reading the kids did throughout the year...here are our surfer dudes!

We slept in the van Saturday night at my parents and this is what we woke up to...Mason's feet!


Welcome Simon!

On Saturday, we had a welcome shower for Simon, my nephew!!! Wendi is so thrilled to be a mommy and Simon is a fun, smart, adorable but mostly busy little boy!
This cake was so yummy! The top layer was white raspberry cake with four layers of cake and awesome white icing and the bottom tier was again, four layers of chocolate cake with peanut butter icing! It did not disappoint!

Brandon and his new friend Veronica helped to give Wendi the mountain of presents.


Grandma Grandma knitted this handsome sweater for Simon, my guys put orders in for some too!



Simon on a tricycle his size...he loved it and beeped his way through the shower!





My Mother's Day!

This was my mother's day breakfast prepared for me by head chef, Thinh and his assistants! It was yummy! Then we were off to church, had dinner at church and then cleaned up the garage...i love to organize! and thinh does not love to organize so he did it out of pure love for me!

Andrew's Spring Concert

Picture of Andrew from the wall of "Students with Character" at Benjamin Chambers Elementary for kindergarten! Way to go Andrew!
Mason wall climbing before (well and who am i kidding, during too) the concert.


Brandon enjoying the concert as well

My camera never does well in the gym/auditorium of their school, but Andrew is in the bright blue shirt in the back center row. He later sang all his songs for mimi on the phone. He did an awesome job!!! So proud of him!




Soccer Saturdays!
