Derby Hat

Aubree was really into the Derby this year. She learned a lot about it from school and shamed me for not teaching her about it. I made it up to her by helping her make a Derby hat. She had a lot of fun doing it. Luke got a hat too but did not want to decorate it. Less work for me so I was fine with that.

Up close of Aubs hat. I know there is not much to it but she loves it.

Ryan loves to grab my scriptures and flip through the pages. I think he likes the feel of the paper. Who knows he probably knows how to read. I am still in shock that he knows most of his letters.

The sun has been out. It is very warm here. Today I took the kids to the park and they loved it. Ryan fell asleep on the way home. I love being out doors so the weather makes me very happy. My house always goes to pot during the spring and summer. I end up staying up late cleaning. I was watching each of the kids today playing and thinking how thankful I am for them. Aubree is so mature. She still likes to tell me about her day. I hope she will always be open with me. Luke has to be the friendliest kid in the world. I meet so many people through him. He introduces me to everyone. Ryan is so happy and loves to be outside just like me. Looking at the kids and thinking about our new little angel are things to be so thankful for. With Jamie being hurt and me taking a lot of the load I have been a little bit of a grump. Taking time to reflect on all my blessings really help.
