I have seriously been neglecting my blog, so today I am playing catch up. We have been really busy since memorial day with birthdays, partys, Shaun coming home for the weekend, ordinations, and the end of school, so I have lots to blog about.
May 28th A Mid Summers Night Stream written by William Shakespeare performed by Chandlers sixth grade class. Chandler played the part of a narrator, he had to memorize 54 lines. He did great and doesn't he look awesome!
May 30th Shaun flew home! He missed his flight (anyone surprised?). So I took the kids to Indiana Jones without him. He caught the next flight that got him home at 7:00 pm (instead of 9:30am) on our way to the airport, our Tahoe's transmission went out. What a day! But at least Shaun did finally make it home so we were all happy.
May 31st was party day at our house. We celebrated Chandler's 12th birthday (actual birthday June 1st), Chase's 5th birthday (June 5th) and my niece Cali's 15th birthday (June 9th), with my whole family. We started at the Daybreak Lake and rented canoes. The highlight of the canoes was when I looked over at the lake from the shore, (Brooke, Cori, my day and I were sitting out with the 2 babies), and I noticed two canoes racing. Then I notice that all 4 adults Phil, Bill, Shaun and my mom, in those two canoes. My eyes raced to the third boat to find all the children in the boat with no adult supervision. Chandler(12) was the oldest one in the boat. Brock(6) and Chase(5) were hanging over the back and my niece Cassidy(9) was climbing over the seat to try to get to where she could help Chandler row. I funny thing is even in the kids in the boat were screaming ..."We need an adult". What were they thinking?
After the lake we had a barbecue at our house, followed by presents and making smores in our backyard. What a great party!
June 1st was a great day for our family. This was Chandler's real birthday. He turned 12 and was ordained a deacon. Wow!! I can't believe I have a 12 year old and what a perfect 12 year old he is. What a special day that we will all remember!
Because Shaun will be back in California on Chase's birthday, we gave both boys their present from us. Chan got an electric scooter and Chase got a power wheels jeep. (Brody hated that Chandler was getting a scooter so he spent all of his own money $175 and bought one for himself). They are all having a blast. We can hardly get them inside.
June 5th Chase's Birthday!!! We had so much fun---We always have fun but especially on birthdays--we kind of party them up!! While the kids were at school I took Chase and Brock my nephew to Chuckee Cheese. They had a ball.
After school we went swimming with different cousins. and after that we meet my mom and dad and sister at one of Chase's favorite restaurant's Geckos. He had a fun filled day and he is excited to be 5.
June 6th yesterday
Yesterday was all 3 of the boys last day of school. They were all ready to be done. Me too! Chase had a graduation program at school that was so great I loved every second of it. He is ready to go to kindergarten and would go today if he could. The other two boys are not that enthusiastic about school, but are really looking forward to summer.
All in all we have had a great week together and have celebrated lots. But mom is tired. Hopeful we can still have fun together but slow down a bit.
