Tucker

The Crabtrees got a new puppy! He's so cute and is named Tucker! We went to meet him the day they brought him home. He was sleeping when we got there, but after we played a few rounds of Nertz, he finally woke up :)

Regionals Basketball

There was regional church basketball again this year! The young men were out their 3rd or 4th game. Doug's team made it further but not all the way. They all had fun playing though!

Mother's Day and Family Party

On Sunday we celebrated Mother's Day and Jack and Cam's birthdays! The Crabtrees came home Friday for good! We're excited they're back and done travelling :)

My Mother's Day gifts! An 8 Ball from Coleman (he said he jokingly told Doug he wanted to get me one, but wasn't serious, but Doug had bought it :)), a hair mask, card and candy from Kenzie, a Tour de Pizza pizza cutter and card from Jordan, Steph Curry from Jackson, and a sewing thing from Doug.

At church the young men and men in the ward who wanted to sang a musical number. Coleman didn't want to go up, but I convinced him to go (with the help of his friend that beckoned him to come.) Jordan went up and was the accompanist! He had kept it a secret to surprise me. I love hearing him play! 

Cam had been opening presents when we got there (I think they were from Ash, and she was hoping to finish before we got the so she didn't have an audience :)) so we handed her our present for her and she kept opening!

Jack sat to open his too.

Jack wanted red velvet cake.

And Cam wanted Babe Ruth bars.

It was a fun day!

Jackson's Birthday!

Jackson came home last weekend to celebrate his birthday early and for Mother's Day. We had a busy weekend of sports and dance, but we had fun celebrating! He came with Doug and I to Jordan's last soccer game on Friday, then after dinner at Cafe Rio he opened his presents. On Saturday we went to Olive Garden for lunch and had Papa John's for dinner.

Kenzie got him a tennis ball jelly cat stuffed animal.

He was excited about all his presents!

Birds

Jordan got me a bird feeder for my birthday. After we got some birdseed and Doug put the bird feeder on the window, it took a few days before the birds came to eat. We were all excited once they finally came!

Kenzie sent me a picture!

And so did Jordan!

More Spring Sports

Jordan playing goalie.

Kenzie had her last tennis match last week. She played great and loved playing all season!

After her last tennis practice (which wasn't really practice, they did comment cards and awards voting) the JV girls went to Menchies!

Coleman started baseball!

Kenzie playing volleyball. Jordan likes being line judge at her games.

Coleman playing soccer.

Now that it's sunny pickleball is usually played at my parents' house on Sundays.

Jordan had his last JV soccer game of the year. His team won!

Coleman had his first baseball game last Saturday. His coach had him pitch (Coleman didn't really want to :)) But he did great!

He threw lots of strikes, which meant the other team was able to put the ball in play if they didn't strike out. It's always more fun for everyone when the teams get hits instead of walks.

And he was so cute pitching! :)
