Fun tidbits about this past week:

This past week, I:
Enjoyed a Mother/Daughter Diner with Kayla

Took the kids to the Dentist (Rachel made this picture for our Dentist.  He was very impressed with the picture, and said he didn't receive many pictures from patients.  He said he would hang it in his office.  She was happy about that. )

On Friday, I had the opportunity to chaperone Kyle's 3rd Grade Field trip to Union Station in Kansas City.  We went to Science City and to a 3D ocean film.  It was exhausting but fun!

I had a wonderful Mother's Day, thinking of the Mom's who are far away, and celebrating my 3 dreams come true:

...and ending the evening at Braden's (my nephew) bacclaureate service with these amazing people!  (For those of you who haven't heard of it, {like me before I moved here}, baccleaureate is similar to a Seminary Graduation, except it's for all of a certain High School's Seniors, put on by several churches of the area-- a "religious graduation."  Braden will also graduate from LDS Seminary in a few weeks as one of my students!
