Mike is working hard as a financial planner and he loves his job! He has been doing really well and I love that he is control of his own schedule. He also just got a new calling as assistant ward clerk, in charge of membership. Our weeks just got busier folks! But, I know that if we work hard for Heavenly Father we will b blessed so we'll do whatever he wants us to do!
I have been working hard in YW and just got some new counselors, so things are changing a little, but I'm sure it will be great! The kids keep me busy cleaning all day, but I wouldn't change it for the world. I love being home with them. They are adorable and so much fun. I absolutely love being a mom and I'm sad that my kids are growing up so fast.
Max is almost 7! What happened to my sweet little baby boy? He has had an amazing year this year. He has done extremely well in 1st grade. Mrs. Wininger is his teacher and she has really been great with him, and he has loved her too. Max was chosen to compete in the school spelling bee out of his whole class. He was 1 of 2 students in his class that got to compete against the other 1st graders. He took second place with the word toothbrush! The words were extremely hard for such little kids, but they had to be since the winners went on to compete against the 2nd and 3rd graders! Max didn't place when he got to the next level, but we were so proud of him for just being chosen to compete!
Max also excelled this year in the Reflections contest. He won on the school, region, district and state level! It was so exciting for us! I still don't think he realizes what an honor that was for him. He choreographed an awesome hip hop dance to Boom Boom Pow. He became very popular in his school because he got recognized so much this year.
Max also did really well in his class as well. He was one of the first kids in his class to pass off all of his sight words and lists this year. He was finished half way through the year and Mrs. Wininger had to make up new lists for him so he would still have something to do! He worked really hard, but he really is a smart boy and it wasn't that difficult for him! He also received his Golden Eagle this year, which means that he read a lot of books and took quizzes for each of them. Mrs. Wininger was really great with him and let the practicum students help him to finish the last few books so he could pass them off! It was fabulous! He was so excited and called me at lunch to let me know that he got his Gold!
And Finally, Max got into the Spanish immersion program for 2nd grade. We are really excited about it! Mr. Burton called me today to let me know for sure, and he also went out of his way to let me know what a good boy Max is. It was so nice to know that Max acts nicely when he's not at home! He is such a special nice boy! I love this sweet little boy so much! He is so tender-hearted and still snuggles me when I want him to! I'm so excited for summer so we can play all the time!

Gracie is my sweet little almost 4-year-old! She has mostly grown out of her fits and is my little sweet buddy! She is getting much more talkative and loves telling people that her favorite color is yellow, she loves horses and she is 3! She is so sweet! She absolutely adores her little sister and they snuggle and tickle each other all day.
Gracie tells me that she wants to be a swimmer and she can't wait until she can take lessons this summer! She loves playing with dolls and she also loves horses! Did I mention she loves horses! She wants a horse party for her birthday and more horses! She loves mommy snuggles and we love to watch Dora and Diego together! She wants to learn Spanish with Max and already knows her colors and a few other words.
Gracie spoke in church last Sunday and wasn't shy at all. She adjusted the microphone for herself and made sure everyone could hear her.
Gracie is very brave and likes to try new things! She is a very sweet girl and I hope we're best friends forever!
Sophie is 19 months old and is the cutest little baby ever! She always has a smile on her face and her little dimples are to die for! She is very independent and will not eat unless she is feeding herself with a fork! She loves to climb and even insists on walking down the stairs, instead of scooting on her bum. It scares me to death, but she demands it!
She is a sweet heart and gives the best hugs and snuggles when she wants. He hair is a soft brown/ reddish color and her eyes are dark brown,. I love her big brown eyes! She is such a sweetie! She loves going down slides and she even goes down head first. She's not afraid of anything!
Sophie calls everything and everyone Mama. She doesn't talk much, but she is starting to babble a lot more! She is still teething and loves to bite things, including her sister if she doesn't get what she wants. She's a bit of a stinker, but not all the time! Sophie loves her brother and sister and they all play well together. She especially loves Daisy and snuggles with her all the time!
We are loving life! We are so blessed and we can't get over how happy we are. We are busy, but we really enjoy our time on the weekends together. I don't want my kids to grow up any faster. Life is good!
