We have had a very fun and eventful week and weekend. Jessika graduated from high school on Thursday, Caleb graduated on Friday, we went to the Scandinavian Festival on Saturday and then to Jake's ten year high school reunion.
 Jake ran in the 5k race at the festival. Then we walked around the booths, went to the parade, and took the boys on some rides.

I don't look very happy, but it is because when I smile big my face looks so chunky now.
The boys had a blast going on all of the blow up balloon rides.




We had a barbecue with Jake's class for his reunion. It was so nice to see some of Jake's good friends.

Preschool Graduation!!
Taylor had his preschool graduation today. I am so proud of him. They sang and danced to three songs. He sure knows how to shake it.

Happy Mother's Day!
I had a wonderful Mother's Day. We spent the weekend at my family's. I was grateful to spend that time with my wonderful mother. She is the perfect example of the type of mother I want to be. She is so selfless and Christ like. I love her very much. Since we were going to be gone on Mother's Day, Jake fixed me dinner the night before we left. He had surgery for a hernia the week before, but he spent hours in the kitchen making me some barbecue chicken pizza. It was delicious. He is the best husband. He was hurting and sore from his surgery, but he wanted to to do that for me. The kids had fun with their cousins over the weekend. They liked racing around on stick horses.

If we ever couldn't find James, he was usually outside feeding the horses. Recently we watched Secretariat and Racing Stripes, so James was excited about horse races. On Saturday the Kentucky Derby was on. He was so excited to watch the race, and as soon as it was over he ran outside to be with the horses.
