Ch-Ch-Changes

This has been a BUSY month! I'm impressed I've even had the presence of mind to take pics of anything! These pics start out on Mother's Day. Can I say I have the best kids and husband EVER!! I know every mom feels the same way - can I get an Amen!! We wanted to get up early to make it to early service, so while I was getting showered and dressed, the fam was getting an AMAZING breakfast ready for me. Curt and Cade had picked out a beautiful flower arangement for me, complete with a gift card for a massage hidden within. Do they know what I need or what??!!

We made it to church on time, but I didn't get a chance to take any pics before so Margaret took a few for me during church - bad idea!! Soooo hard to get kids to focus on a pic when there are soooo many other distractions EVERYWHERE. I wish I could say I was surprised, but not great pics on Mother's Day seems to be pretty typical for me for the past few years so I can't be too disappointed. I'm happy to even have these few. I love being a Mom to these amazing kids - I am so incredibly blessed!








Aren't we gorgeous!!


On Saturday, Caden's Boy Scout Pack had their Crossover Ceremony. This is where each member of the pack symbolically crosses over a bridge, removes their neckerchief from their previous level and progress on to the next level, which for Cade means he is now a Wolf Cub. It was a fun event, perfect weather, and Cade was pretty proud of himself and all his achievements.



Crossing Over





The new Wolf Pack!!


Since I didn't get great pics on Mother's Day, I decided to do my annual "Blooming of the Flowers" photo shoot this Sunday and combine it with Curt and I and call it good. My flowers are blooming beautifully, but they are nothing compared to the gorgeous kids God has given me to grow. Check them out...



Soooo sweet







My handsome boys - such goofballs!


Cade took this pic. Not too bad for a 7 year old!!








And last but not least...my baby is growing up. Keira has been talking about riding a bike with no training wheels for a while and tonight they finally came off. She's not riding totally by herself yet, but she did soooo good today. No fussing or whining about it, didn't fall once, and had a determined look on her face the whole time. I predict she'll be riding independently in a few weeks. What am I going to do when this girl is in kindergarten last year. I'll have lost the last bit of baby left in this house - I don't know if I'm ready for that yet!!
