Great two weeks

It is amazing all that can happen in two weeks time. Especially in May. So, Tyrik has had more tball games and enjoyed those. Ryland has had baseball games and is struggling a little with it, but is improving a lot. I had my 34th...I cannot believe I am to that number. It just seems like a step up or something. Anyways, my 34th birthday. It was so nice because the night before, Spencer ran me a bath and had rose petals in it and put on a romantic comedy on his Ipad and let me relax and watch. I loved it! The next day, Marian came and watched the three littles, so I could go with Chavonne shopping up North. I bought a few shirts and some Jewelry with a gift card from Marian and some $$ from my Dad Slade. We had a nice lunch, oh and I bought some shoes. It was a great day! So that evening was the May Day dance at the elementary for all the kids. It was fun to watch. After, Spencer surprised with a bunch of chocolate apples and strawberries an ice cream cake(yep, he's the best). I was really surprised and grateful too because Janell sent me a dozen chocolate covered strawberries. Yum!!! My birthday was a great one. I am so grateful to feel so loved. So, we had Spencers work party up North the other night. The clinic changed their name to Revere health and gave all the employees tickets to watch the new Avengers 2. It was a good movie, in fact, Spencer took the kids to it Saturday and they loved it. We bought flowers for the yard on the way up there. Thursday I planted them all in the front and then planted some raspberries and rose bushes in the back by the strawberries yesterday. I usually plant on or closer to my birthday, but it has been raining almost everyday, so it just didn't happen sooner. So, Tuesday was Tyriks preschool graduation and Wylie's 6th grade graduation. I cannot believe they are already done. Especially Wylie, it makes me so sad. I don't want him to go to middle school. :( Tyrik was excited to go to kindergarten testing Monday and then Wednesday, the three littles and I followed the buses up to the zoo for the schools field trip. It was fun. We didn't see Kaylese at all while there, but we did get to be with Ryland and Wylie a lot. The kids loved the animals. That evening, we went to Jamie and Winstons after Tyriks game was canceled to Dylans birthday party. It was a busy week, as you can tell. Friday night, I helped throw a party for Wylie and his class and a few friends from Moroni. They had a lot of fun. We were hoping to go to visit my Uncles and Gr. & Gr. Slade at Palisade lastnight, but Aynslee locked the keys in the suburban, and we couldn't get them out until way late lastnight, so the kids and I took a walk instead. We bought Tyriks birthday stuff. Hopefully he will like it. Today was Memorial Day. We went up to the cemetery first thing  where Wylie & Ryland participated with some veterans in a flag ceremony. It started to pour rain just as they were raising the flag. It seemed so fitting. I was grateful our boys and ourselves could be there and be a part of it. I am so grateful for all those who are so willing to fight for our freedoms and for those who have lost their lives doing so, so I can enjoy my safety and liberty. We went up to Miller's Flat as a family today. We took Tracys new side by side and our 4 wheeler. It was cold when we got up there, but turned out to be a perfext , beautiful day. We played on the swings, roasted smores, and went for a fun ride. The kids loved it! :) It was such a perfect day up there. It is such a beautiful place. I am so grateful Gr. Morris worked hard to get it and left it for us to enjoy. I wanted to also talk about a neat thing I received from my Gr. Slade. She dropped a lot of things off on her way to Palisade, as she usually does and she left a history of her Mother with it. It is about 12 pages  long and includes pictures I have never seem before. I still can't believe this amazing woman and these amazing stories. I am so grateful my Grandma brought this. I feel like I have a treasure. The amazing things she did, the courage she had, the hardships she went through. Amazing. I am so blessed to come from such Great women in my family. I now have the desire to learn more about all my Grandparents. Oh how good God really is to us. He is aware of us,  He loves us. I am so grateful for my Savior. Goodnight.
