My perfect Mother's Day was.....a day at the lake. When Scott asked what I wanted to do. It was not hard to come up with something. A lazy Sunday at the cabin with my 3 little blessings. What a treasure it is to be a mother!
Scott and Kade taking the first run of the season...and yes it started on the first try!
Karli enjoying the beautiful day on Saturday!
Kiersten even got in the frigid 66 degree water--YIKES. She loved every minute of it...my little fish!
and...at the end of the day...Kade threw all the sand toys in the lake...this is pretty typical in our world :)
Our weekend continued...with my little "Daisy" getting baked into a Brownie on Friday night. Her Daisy troop were all promoted to Girl Scout Brownies and presented with certificates, cute little blue jeans purses (Ms. Monique made), and they also gave their Mommies hand-made honey butter! Congratulations Karli!
As the school year is about to come to an year...there are many activities that seem to happen all at once. On Friday Karli had her Kindergarten "Months of the Year" music performance at school, as well as a farewell party for their class intern. The class surprised her with a potted plant with Gerber daisies, hand written signatures and pictures from the kids. Good-Bye Miss Clare Stump...the kids will miss you!
Today it was 80's Spirit day at the girl's school today. We had a blast dressing Kiersten up...and oh how it brought back so many memories! I had to look up an old picture of me in 1988----all I can say is I am not to excited this era is trying to make a comeback. Have you seen the newest styles out there for our kids...no thanks!
Gillam in 88'....my hair at one point measured 4 inches high...I was so proud!
Kaden and I had a great day today....Library....Mc Donalds, and the Insect zoo and Butterfly gardens. At the end of the day, the boys found the alluring fountain, and there was NO stopping them. Berkley and Kaden had an absolute blast splashing in the water.
The girls had their much anticipated dance recital on Sunday. They performed in three numbers and did fantastic! It is a joy to see their improvements from the previous year. Great job Kiersten and Karli
The kids ran in the Mercy Wild run fun this morning, while I volunteered at the finish line. It was a lot of fun until Kade kicked down all the orange cones during the obstacle course and then proceeded to skin his knee.....and I thought he had a chance to place!!!!
Scott and I attended the K-State powercat auction last night. This event is K-State's Athletic Department’s largest fund-raiser, earning nearly $320,000 in 2008; all proceeds go directly to the Ahearn Scholarship Fund to provide scholarship assistance to K-State’s 350 student-athletes
