Graduation!

I have to admit, the idea of a preschool graduation ceremony seems ridiculous.  But the sight of this melted even my cold heart:



There was singing.  SINGING!!


We got seriously lucky with her preschool this year.  Her teacher was amazing and because Solei was fine academically, she really focused on her social skills - manners and classroom etiquette.


This is the face of a girl who - drumroll please..... can WAIT HER TURN!!! (sometimes)  That's worth a ceremony!

Happiest Mother's Day to all!


I couldn't have asked for a more perfect Mother's Day. From the amaaazing hand-delivered breakfast that included an entire bowl of bacon, to the Primary kids who managed to sing the right words beaauuutifully in Sacrament meeting despite the fact that I had all their cue cards in the wrong order.
I asked Jared to take some pictures of me and the reasons why I'm getting pampered so beautifully on this Mother's Day.
Trying to keep these two kids still for a nano-second is just impossible.

I know that motherhood is a wonderful, important job, but there are gazzillions of women doing it right now on this earth, far better than I am. I recognize that - and yet Heavenly Father gave me these incredible kids to get to grow with.

I feel like the luckiest mother on earth. Thanks to all of your for your amazing examples, I hope your day was just fantabulous!
