Kindergarten Graduation

How?!  How is it this time so soon? My sunshine is graduating from Kindergarten. While the year started a little rough, he's come such a long way. We were happy to see him come so far!

Cute Girls

In a trampoline park full of little boys, Jack predictably latches on to the cute teenage girl.

"Her name's Olivia, mom. We're a team."

Hiking Goals

Every year we have very lofty hiking goals, none of which really come to pass. This year, we decided just to find short little things around Salt Lake. This time, we actually did it! Woohoo for setting low goals and reaching them!

Mother's Day

Another Mother's Day in the books. It was truly lovely to spend time with the best mom in the world and the two cute boys who made me a mom.

 

I'm pretty lucky.

 

 

Personal Butler

One thing that continually blows me away is how incredibly helpful Cole is. Just like any kid, he can give me dirty looks about doing his chores, but when it comes to projects or helping others, Cole is incredible. He sticks with a job until it is done. He asks for more to do. I've had multiple days where he's followed me around saying he's my personal butler.

 

For Mother's Day this year, we did a yard clean-up at Grandma and Grandpa Thomsen's house. Cole worked the ENTIRE time, continuing to help when the other kids had faded away. I was so proud of the way he put his energy into all the tasks he was asked to. All I can say is that I'm lucky to be the mom of this amazing kid!
