Happy Mother's Day

Today, I was greeted by my lovelies with breakfast in bed. They made the most delicious pancakes I had ever tasted! The best part was they even cleaned up their mess. I just love how they are growing up into such great kids.

After breakfast we headed over to Grandpa Mann's to head down to Pueblo to take the boat out on the reservoir. It was very relaxing and a great way to hang out on Mother's Day.


The best kids ever

Crazy Noises

This evening as Craig was hosing off some dirt in the yard, he heard a crazy noise. Much to his surprise, he looked up to see this on the side of our house.


Considering we have only seen one or two squirrels in our neighborhood over the past 8 years, we were shocked to see one hanging on to the side of our house!

Happy Birthday Caleb

How is it possible that you are nine years old? Where has the time gone? We are so thankful to be your mom and dad. What a great kid you are! Happy Birthday, son!

The "Senior" Prom

A tradition at the kids school for all fourth and fifth graders is to invite a grandparent or other special someone to the "Senior" Prom. This year Emaleigh invited her Grandpa Mann. He showed up with a beautiful corsage and the two enjoyed a lovely dinner at one of her favorite restaurants--The Tsing Tao House. Then they headed to the school for a night filled with dancing. Emaleigh had such a blast! What a great memory for the two of them.
