We celebrated Grandpa’s Birthday, and Grandma and Grandpa’s Anniversary!

We pushed the resume button and continued celebrating Easter with some egg painting.

Hanging out at home memories.

Mountains and tv.  Not a bad view for a dentist visit, ha!

Beck just gave this to me one day and asked me to send it in for him, ha!

Also Beck leaves notes like this all the time on our lists.  He melts us.

Mother’s Day was a sweet treat.  No one was sick, and we all got to go to church together!  So so very thankful.

Beck was very brave, and allowed Grandpa to yanked out his tooth that had been dangling for far too long, ha!  It needed to come out, and so the award was going to the arcade…which was cashed in by him right away!

Swimming at Grandma’s is always a favorite!

A new Star Wars movie is totally worth mentioning :).

We were busy wrapping up Kindergarten and 4th Grade.  The boys both had a really fun year learning and making lots of memories with their friends.  They were excited about the idea of changing schools, but we were all so sad to say good-bye to years of friendships at this school!

Asher ended the year with a World of Dance class performance that was really cute, and the perfect opportunity for him to display his well crafted “floss” :).  He also worked hard to get all “A’s” this quarter, and received the “Class Athlete” award from his teacher :).  We’re so proud of you, Asher!

Beck had the most wonderful year!  We were so thankful that God placed him with sweet Mrs. Phillips who also goes to our church.  He also made so many friends this year, friendships that will go beyond this past year and school.  Beck received the “Problem Solver” award in his classroom, which couldn’t be more perfect for him.  We’re thankful he kicked off his schooling career on an awesome foot :). 

Here’s his cute little questionnaire he filled out for his teacher:

Kindergarten Graduation!  This whole day I cried my eyes out because Beck was really sick with a fever, and not feeling well at all.  I was crushed thinking about him missing out on his only Kindergarten graduation.  When I mentioned to Beck that he would have to miss, he was insistent on going, even though it was clear he wasn’t feeling well.  They had been working so hard on their performance.  I was worried about exposing other kids, but his teacher texted me and said, “absolutely bring him!”  She knew how bad it would hurt a mama’s heart to have him miss.  On a performance note, Beck was so happy up there!!!  He’s usually a bit quiet and wanting it all to be over, but I guess he was just saving up all of his theatrical energy for the most important night.  I pretty much had to record the entire graduation, it was such a special moment!

Mrs. Phillips had the kids each draw their own portrait for their graduation shirts :).

We had another special graduation the night before!  Daddy graduated from Seminary after four years of working so hard!  We couldn’t be more proud of him, and how he has allowed God to use him and his talents in mighty ways!  So thankful to call him ours :).

Thankfully Beck was feeling better to attend his last official day of school.  Jeremy and I surprised the boys with hours of unlimited laser tag, bowling, and arcade game fun when we picked them up at school to celebrate a year of hard work :).

Graduation at church!  Beck in now upstairs with the big kids, and Asher moved into Ignite with the 5th and 6th Graders.  It was a big “moving on up” month for our family :).

And, we celebrated 18 years of marriage.  Jeremy said that our marriage became an adult :).
