May - for my Mom :)

While talking with my beautiful mom this week, she kindly informed me that my 2016 blog book is only going to be 2 pages long since I have been such a horrible blogger this year. 
Mom- I apologize and will do better. 

Right now- my Brucey is at a birthday party, Jane is at a YW stake party, Kate is at a birthday party so just James and I are home.  He wanted to get "Goosebumps" from the Red Box- so that was our fun date tonight.  The guy I usually date is working in the garage on his canoe.  Speaking of the canoe- it looks so awesome.  This week he brought home a fiberglass sheet.   

He spread it over the canoe and then poured epoxy all over it to get it to stick.  

 It was pretty interesting to watch.  

Other things that have been going on: 

My man made me a "Time Machine" out of PVC for my sharing time lesson. 

 We had "Arts Fest West"  Kate & James have TaLeNt!

 Jane and a few BFF's went white water rafting two Saturday's ago.  My friend came with me and we went hiking around the beautiful Letchworth State Park.

 Bruce hung out with 150 of his closest 5th grade friends at the party last Friday.

 It was parent observation week and dance.  Here is Kate with one of her BFF's  in their costumes.

 Sometimes James likes to take my phone and do crazy things...

Kate does too:

Sometimes, he falls asleep in the stairs:

 

 These two finished 1st and 2nd in their archery class:

 Jane also received a Silver medal in the Science Fair this year!

 My guy made these trophies for the Praxair- "Ted Talks."

 This guy LOVES soccer and he also loves his new jackets from Josh.

 This is his BFF from Pre-school & fellow travel soccer teammate.

 He also got to be "George Washington" in the living museum.  (Not nearly as awesome as my friend Megan's son who was Jimmy Carter with make up and all- loved that!) 

 One Saturday I took the 2 little guys on a special date golfing.

 We also went to Rochester on a different Saturday.  We had a great time with this climber while his sisters were at "Girl Scouts Go STEM."

 

 

 A few weeks ago some friends invited us to go with them on an "Underground Railroad" walk.  It was really special and I learned so much.

 We walked with candle lanterns.

Happy Mother's Day Mom- I love you!
