How Time Flies!!!

I can't believe how quickly the month has flown by...I saw this quote and really loved it and wanted to document it somehow. But I have so much going on and I am so looking forward to school being out. I really need to be done this semester. It has been grueling, easy, yet grueling. The consistent nature of going everyday has been a challenge but it has kept me getting up in the morning. 

This month my Ella Bella turns 6 on Wednesday. She still cries at the drop of a hat but she started soccer this season and is actually getting involved.  I can't believe she actually runs after a ball. She is so painfully shy that she has surprised both Kyle and I.

We finished the missionary lessons with Attie and it was awesome. There were so many teaching moments that Kyle took advantage of that the Spirit was a nice feeling in our home. Attie is pretty excited about being baptised but we have chosen to wait until June. We have a traditional trip to Alamo that we do and we are looking forward to it.

Willie is looking forward to his birthday. Everyday for a year I listen to him tell me about his birthday and it gets worse as it gets closer. But he is turning 13 this year. He has a campout this weekend and loves to pack 2 weeks before. He loves scouts.

Ammon is growing up like a weed. Preschool is almost over and he will be happy about that and I will too. But he still hates church and fights us on it but he is so pleasant to be around. I love that I can say, Ammon, use your nice words, and he switches tones quickly. I love these kids. They keep me going and I am so grateful to have them all in my life.

Kylee and Sandy are all doing well. The harp and violin are coming along nicely and I can't believe Kylee will be 14 and in high school next year. These are the years that I remember went so fast for my mom. I still can see her in the stands bawling her eys out as I graduated high school. I don't know if she was happy I was heading out or if she was sad the time went by so quickly and she had wished she had done more or spent more time or etc. I know I will feel like I wished I would have done more.

My mom was such a good mom.  I still go play raquetball with her and as she ages these are cherished memories with her. I always tell her I won't take it easy on her and I will never baby her. She expects me to expect her to always give her best. She is such a spunky little woman and I think that will keep her around for a long while.  She has great stories and I should record them so I can share them with my kids. Maybe I could make that my summer project...

Love to all.
