Mother's Day and Misc

getting ready to graduate!

My family (especially Ada) put together a wonderful Mother's Day for me.  I loved every minute.  I played the piano for the Primary's Mother's day song, took a nap, ate a yummy and well thought out dinner by Jer, found out that Seth is also allergic to snap peas, played games, went on a walk, watched a movie.  It was a great day.

They made a pathway for me to my seat at dinner.

Ada played the prelude at church on Mother's day too!  She did great.  She came down all embarrassed, but there was nothing to be embarrassed for.... she did amazingly well.  Seth passed the sacrament and Evelyn was an usher.  What marvelous kids!

Ada made a Walmart run and found new sugar free snacks to try.

I took Seth for a quick date on the way home from his soccer game.

Sam's Priests group had all the moms come and we had "ice cream" and talked about fun things.  It was so funny.  Sam brought me the order sheet for the ice cream with a laugh in his eyes... both he and I are allergic to ice cream.  So I ordered strawberries and he had oreos and gummy bears.  He's a cutie patootie.

Seth drew this cat at school!  He's a great artist!  He has a good handle on proportions and perspective.

Soccer

There's one soccer game left in the season, but I've loved seeing the boys growth this year. Seth has gotten bolder and Sam is remembering that he is capable.  This last time, he was playing offense for the first time in a while and all the parents kept remarking on how well he was playing and I was grateful for no asthma attacks!

 

Orchestra

Sam was Mr House's first 9th grader class, Evelyn was his last one now that he's moving to High School.

Evelyn did so well!  Her little 18 person orchestra sounds so great.  Her music even fell off the stand, she calmly reached down put it back up and continued.  Very professional!

Evelyn was acknowledged as one of the out going 9th graders.  (On another note, she was recognized yesterday as a member of the honor roll.)

All three orchestras combined for a beginning number.

 

EMT Grad

Ada graduated as an EMT this week.  She's been learning a lot and I love to hear her practicing.  She still needs to take the national test, but one step at a time.  Her instructor said that Ada was her favorite and that she needs to come back next year to help with practicals.
