Mother's Day!

Happy mother's day! Jer got home from hotline school on Friday. He gave me my mother's day gift early since I would be gone Saturday for a stake relief society meeting. We know that Sundays are always hectic in our house with getting ready for Church.

What a surprise! Jer gave me this crock pot with a mini dip crock pot. We had a slow cooker once upon a time but somehow we lost it in one of our moves. I love it! Sunday morning I made my first dinner in it. Yummy! Thanks honey for listening to my little hints even when I don't think you hear me. Of course I think his card might have been my favorite it read...

TO MY WIFE

You Know What I Love about You? A WHole Bunch of things, Like: You Don't own an "I'm with Stupid shirt" You never Packed Up and moved WHile I was out. You're the perfect balance of sexy wife and competent mother. You complete me. (I'm not sure what that means but I saw it in a movie once.) You've come to accept my wind-Breaking for the Beautiful natural act that it is. And you know what else I Love about You? Everything!!!

I look forward to Jer's cards every year because they just seem to speak about everything that we are going through at that time. He's the perfect card picker outer. haha Thanks sweetheart!

*Sighhhhhh*

Dad is home and it is so good! Of course he took the kids while I went to a stake relief society meeting in Greeley so that could be another reason why I feel so relaxed today. :o)

He just got home yesterday and got called out to work 45 minutes away tonight. I shouldn't rejoice too soon. Who knows when we'll see him again. ha ha.

Transition Day!!!

Today was the preschoolers transition day at the elementary school! I was sure impressed that the kindergarten class came in and read a book to us. Their teacher seems very regimented. I sure hope she is sweet to the kids as well. I can't believe this August Brooklyn will be going to school from 8am-3:10pm Monday through Friday. That just seems like such a long time for Kindergartners! They get their own lockers and everything. Boy the principal wasn't kidding when he said they expect more out of our kids then they did when we were kids.

Brooklyn ate the whole experience up! She latched on to her kindergarten partner and loved answering questions from the teacher. Some of the parents are still so hesitant to let their kids move on to the big school. I must be a bad mom because I am so excited for Brook. I really think she will be happy there. I love to see her grow and see her excitement as she learns something new.

The problem...

Problem- The bathroom door is closed. A drawer from the inside is open preventing the door from opening. There is zero gap to open the door and the hinges are on the inside.

Solution- Call Jer. No answer. Call dad. Dad told me to take the trim off of the side of the door with a hammer and chisel. Then hook a hanger from the bottom and slide the drawer closed. Yay! Crisis averted!!! Why do these kind of things always happen when Jer is out of town?!

While dad's away the kids will play

I took the kids to the park today after Brooklyn's school. They had a blast but it started to rain so we came home. Its starting to feel like spring.

Dadless for a week :o(

Jer is leaving for Grand Junction Hot Line School Tomorrow. Its going to be a really busy week for us too. I take Brooklyn to Transition Day at Akron Elementary School on Wednesday. There are so many things that need to be done to get ready for that. I just signed Brook up for t-ball this summer. She is pretty excited about that. I'll keep you all posted on how we are surviving being a single mom family for a week.
