For our Special Grandma (Asplund) and Mom

Since we can't be with you IN PERSON, we thought you'd enjoy these special videos made

JUST FOR YOU!

Grandma we hope you know on this Mother's Day just how special you are to us!

I didn't really want this to be on my blog, because it is more personal, but I didn't really know how to send these large files via email (I'm sure I could have figured it out,eventually, IF I tried)

Here's to YOU Mother:

You are such a perfect example of what a mother is and should be. And I love that we have become so close, not only as mother and daughter, but also as great friends too. I am so fortunate to have you as one to emulate. I don't think I could ever become half the person that you are...but it is always good to set your goals high, right?

I am also so grateful for the grandmother you are to my children. They are so fortunate to have someone who is so thoughtful, generous, loving, concerned and just enjoys having fun & being WITH them! ( just not right now)

Happy Mother's Day...to the GREATEST mother I could have ever asked for.

Love, your daughter, Brittany

Tumbling

Kaipo started taking tumbling last week. I was a bit nervous about starting him, not knowing how good of a listener he would be and if could stay focused. He has pleasantly surprised me and done very well! This is such a positive way for him to release some of the enormous amounts of energy he has, at least once a week! (This gives me hope for preschool next year)

Way to go Kaipo...YOU made your mama proud!

Here are 2 of his buddies, from our ward, that are in the same class. They are actually

both older than him, but you would never know that cuz he is just such a tall boy!

Classic

Have your kids seen this "timeless" classic?

We saw it at the library yesterday and I just had to get it for my kids to watch.

They have never seen it.

They are actually watching it right now.

Great movie for a rainy day, I think!

I have told Quinn before that we should get this movie for the kids to watch.

But He doesn't think it is as great of a classic as I do.

He says it is a creepy, wierd movie.

What is your opinion????

For Gma and Gpa

I don't want to bore anyone with another performance by Ame, so this video is put on here just to make a grandma and grandpa proud, of their favorite little girl (well one of them).

I don't think Ame has given the scripture or prayer, since we have been in this ward. But she has given 4 talks (because she always vounteers)! If it were up to MOM, I don't think I would choose a talk EVERY time, but as long as she is willing I will let her choose. We always seems to get the assignment on a busy week. But once I see her share it on Sunday, the little time spent was SO WORTH IT! And if this didn't make a mama proud enough, she jumped right up in Sac. Mtg. and shared her testimony. What an example this girl is to her parents and brothers!

yard work

This weekend we (mostly I-Quinn sort of checked the sprinklers) spent some time in the yard, doing some planting, care, repair and clean-up.

This is a picture of my flower bed(s) and the tulips I planted last fall.

I planted several other things this weekend, that I ordered off of a website my neighbor recommended. So we will see if I made good choices and if they will actually bloom.

I tried to pick out some things that seemed kind of unique, as well as some traditional flowers.

I also gave our lawn some "lawn food". Hopefully it will help with the less green areas. These are some of the flowers I ordered called Lupines.

This is a picture from the website and it said they come in a bundle,

so we will see if I actually get this assortment of COLOR.
