This & That

Damon loves playing volleyball. He does such a great job! 

I was able to catch a great play where he served the ball, the other team returned it, Damon returned that, and scored a point. He loves when that happens!

Damon loved watching the Minecraft movie at Bode's birthday party.

We had another fire for dinner. The weather is a rollercoaster this Spring, so we try to take advantage of the warm, dry days.

We had a Stake Camp Activity to introduce the journals we made for camp. We did a Dora skit. :) Nikki, Karna, Susie and I worked really hard on making a spiritual, purposeful journal that will help the girls and leaders Look Unto Christ. We're really happy with the end result, and are excited to use it ourselves too. 

Mother's Day was a whole mess of emotions this year. It's so hard to see my mom decline as quickly as she is. It's hard to not be able to celebrate her and the amazing mother she has always been in a meaningful way anymore. It's so hard to watch this disease take so much away from her. I shed many many tears the whole weekend, and I just miss her and wish that she wasn't suffering like she is.

I did however have a wonderful time with my kids and Paul on Mother's Day. 

I love the About My Mom pages they fill out every year.

Rockwell had to help me read his handwriting. Haha!

Man I sure love these kids! I love love love being their mom. I hope that I can make them feel as loved as my mom has always made me feel.

We were all excited for Paul's tacos for dinner that night!!! Thank you for a wonderful Mother's Day Paul, Rockwell, Tessa, and Damon!

I love what these two come up with to do together on Sundays.
