Matthew,

This has been a crazy week.  The weather finally warmed up and I got so projects done around the house.  It has been good to get some things done that have been driving me crazy.  We have planted in the yard, painted the staircase, fixed brick (I got Lye burns on my hands, not fun).  Friday was the last day of school for the kids.  They are so happy to be out of school.  Friday we went to Ripples for lunch and then Jacob had a late night here for his friends and Adaline went up the canyon to watch a movie with her friends.  Yesterday we worked so hard in the yard (weeding the garden and laying mulch)  then we went out to Katie's house with Jim's family and Grandpa and worked in her yard.  Then I went to Lowes, got more mulch and laid it until the evening.  Dad and I were so tired by the evening.  Dad worked a little on James' trailer.  This week the kids get to sleep in and Adaline goes to Germany Wednesday.  Isaac to youth conference Friday and Saturday we are all going to Montana to do some projects at the cabin with Grandma.  It should be fun.

I love you and think of our mother's day conversation often.  I am so excited for your one year mark but am so happy with the hard work you are doing.  You are beginning to look genuinely happy.  That makes me so happy.

I love you!

Mom

Matthew,

It was so much fun getting to see/talk to you last Sunday!  It has been a busy week with nothing too significant going on.  It's the end of the school year and Isaac is trying to get all his homework caught up from his trip.  Adaline is working for grandma to get money for her trip to Germany in a week.  This is the last week of school.  This Friday is the last day.  I will be so happy when school is out.  

Yesterday we spent planting the garden.  The weather has bee really cool this past week but yesterday was nice.  Not too warm or too cold.

I look at your weather and it looks SO hot!  James asked why you don't switch study hours with tracting when it is the hottest in the day?

I went on walking field trips with Eleanor (to the Bean museum) and Jacob (to the BYU dinosaur museum).

I love you and think you are amazing.

James left for Montana on Tuesday so Monday we were working glide cray on the trailer.  It's still a wreck!  

I hope you have a great week!

Love,

Mom
