Mother's Day and Jack's Family Party

Kenzie, Coleman, and Jordan wrote me notes and Kenzie left me presents outside my bedroom door.





Kenzie stayed up late the night before and made me a yummy 3 layer cake!



My treats from Doug, the kids, and church. For part of our young women lesson the young women teaching the lesson had the girls make mini cheesecakes for their moms.



Jackson wanted chocolate chip cookies for his dessert at the family party. Ashlee made some yummy ones!




Ashlee got the Wordle board game for Mother's Day. It's so fun!

Jackson Turns 17!

Jackson turned 17 this year! We had a great time celebrating him!
He played pickleball at the stake center in the morning (and Doug and I went to Coleman's baseball game) then opened presents after we all got home.







We got him a pool table! It's a little smaller than a standard size, but it's close enough.

It was actually a little damaged so we sent it back and bought a new one.

We went to Cafe Rio for lunch. It was the first time in a long time that he didn't choose Olive Garden.


Kenzie's computer broke that day and so Doug was trying to fix it.

She was a little sad.

He watched the Kraken game.

The kids played pool.

It was hot out so these two played on the trampoline with the hose.

Kenzie made him a red velvet cake.

Playing video games.



His tie for Mormon Prom came so he tried it on:)

Baseball

Coleman has been playing baseball this year. He's loving it!


Coleman pitching! He pitched an inning and a half before his arm was too tired to pitch anymore. He didn't allow any runs!


Tennis Lessons

Jordan took tennis lessons in May. Jackson took them as well, but they were in different classes because there was only room for one more in each of the classes. They're both taking drop in classes this month since they couldn't sign up for a class. They would have had to miss some while we are on a cruise and they don't offer make up classes.


Coleman's Watch

When's Coleman's watch can take pictures from my phone when it's connected to the watch app. He loves doing it:)


Geese

We've been seeing a family of geese this spring, mostly in the back by the pond.

It's hard to see the goslings, but they're there.


We started seeing them in the front yard too!


It's been fun watching the little goslings grow!
