Firemans Breakfast

This is one of our family's favorite tradition, and this year Grandma and Grandpa Sutch joined us. Grandma is a night owl so this was early rising for her! I feel like after the fireman's breakfast, Strawberry days is right around the corner. YAHOO! Well Max waits all year for this and can't quite understand WHY they only do it once a year. He says "It's the BEST breakfast ever!" Like always we can't wait for next year!

Max you are the Man!

Well I can't believe that Max's first year of schools is over. We have had a week of fun, Tuesday was field day, Wednesday was dance festival, and today was his Graduation/Party! The dance festival was cute the kindergarten did a dance to Zipp a dee doo dah, I think they were the best! Today they had a little graduation and got to eat yummy snacks and play one last time on the Kindergarten playground. This age is so cute and I love how excited they are to learn. I am excited for him to be in school all day next year! And of course, Yeah for Summer and the pool!

HE DID IT!!!!!

Jake receiving his diploma

I am proud to say Jacob graduated yesterday from UVU with a Bachelors degree in Digital Media. He started his first semester when Max was just 2 wks old, we have both changed jobs twice, he is on his second laptop, we added Kate to our family, 2 stupid zoning violations from PG city :), his big screen TV died and we bought a new car! He is such a trooper and such a hard worker. He has always worked full time while going to school and at the least took 8 credit hours per semester and for the last 3 he has been full time. His GPA is 3.88 Magna Cum Lauda. He has only had 1 B and he was so bugged. I was always thrilled with my B's in college! He has always been on the Deans List! What an example to our children he is!

Jake with his proud parents!!!

Both Max and Kate came to the convocation and were so good. I was fun to watch Max, he kept saying help me find Dad again I want to see if he fell asleep. Kate was excited because she saw her daddy on TV! We had a fun day, we went to eat at Iggy's after and then, Max threw his dad a chocolate fountain party that evening! I am happy for Jake that now he will just have a full time job and not playing the student role too. And yeah for no more tuition payments! Too bad my honey do list is probably worse than school! I love you Jake, good job honey!

Max's 2009 Christmas list....

Halo guys

I love that he is starting to read and write. He will write me little notes and I just love them. Sometimes they are sweet little notes and sometimes he is mad and venting! This one made me laugh, nothing like preparing 8 months early for Santa.

Weekend of Easter Fun....

Max just loves Easter, it is one of his favorite holidays.

Our weekend started out coloring Easter eggs, on Friday night, with Aunt Julie. Then we went to dinner at Iggy's sports bar. mmm it was good!

Max showing off his bunny hat he made at school.

They had a party Friday and when I picked him up he told me "Today was the best day of school EVER!"



Saturday morning we headed to Discovery park, in the rain, to the city egg hunt. Kate was a little go-getter. She was cute she was definitely hand picking the ones she wanted she would pick up one from a group and leave the others there. Max moved up to the big kid area, it is 6-10 years old. He is now in the rat race for eggs. Jake was worried he had not got any. He did get 4, Jake watched my sweet boy take some out of his basket and give to a girl. He would rather share than let someone be without!

Kate blowing bubbles!?!

Look at that kisser, she cracks me up!

We had dinner at our house, my Mom and Dad along with the Sutch family came over. We ate and then had an Easter Egg hunt around the yard. It was a little different from the Arena hunt we usually do. It was fun the kids had to look a little harder. Uncle Jared was laying down the rules before we let them loose.

They always make a haul, candy, kites, bubbles... But Kate was the big winner, she found the egg with $1 in it.Wahoo Kate!

OK Braden and Uncle Jared helped her a little.

And of course the Easter Bunny left baskets. This year Max had to read his clues instead of picture clues. He did great. Kate loved her picture clues. We went all over the house and funny thing...their baskets were in their beds!

Happy Easter!

I love weekends filled with fun, family and chocolate!

Why do they have to grow up???

I love looking at old pictures, they are so priceless to me! I can't believe he is 6 and almost finished with kindergarten, reading, spelling and growing at the blink of an eye!
