Wanna Bee Zookeeper

Here is Brooke at the Utah Hogle Zoo.  She is feeding the giraffes.  Brooke wants to be a zookeeper.  Looks like she is on her way.

Jack turns 10

Jack just turned 10.  Can't believe it has been 10 years since he was born...blah everyone says that!!  Jack kindof got the short end of the stick on his birthday this year.  It was the first day of summer vacation, and it was also the first day of Summer school for me.  Then after summer school, Michelle, Brooke, McCall, Jim, and Abi had a golf class.  Nick also had a playoff game.  So after all of that, it was like 9:30 before we could celebrate.  I asked him if he wanted to celebrate the day before, and he said that you can't open your presents early...okay!!  He wanted Costco pizza and Duggar dessert.  YEA!  I can do that.  We called in pizza before we left our golf lesson so we could make sure and be there before it closed.  Success!!

We Love Jack.  He loves everything about sports.  I mean everything. He can tell you every player and every rule.  He loves Football, and baseball I think the best.  It is fun to watch him. He could work a bit harder on school, but hey, who has time for that when you are busy catching a baseball!

he wanted a swimming pool for the back yard.  Here are Nick and Jack.

This pool is what jack wanted.  A pool for the backyard.  He and nick had a blast in it for a few days...then pop.  Nick popped it when he dived in!!!

Ran over a Bunny

 Brooke came up from Ephraim and had a strange noise from under her car.  She thought she hit a jackrabbit on the road from Ephraim to the Freeway in Nephi.  This is what she told the guy....check for bunny.  Funny thing was it was just after Easter weekend.

Rookie of the Year

Abi decided to play Golf for Woods Cross High School.  She had a great season.  She played Varsity and Junior Varsity at times.  Her first tournament she scored about 132.  The last match of the season she got 101.  Wow!  She worked hard.  Practice was every day after school for over an hour and a half.  She had some great coaches.  She went to the End of Year banquet and received the award of Rookie of the Year!  She also lettered in Golf.  Congrats Abi!

Her coaches said she and this other girl would be playing first and second next year.  They also asked if she had a birthday coming up, and if she was planning on getting some new clubs?  I guess she will!

Way to go!

Can't wait to see what next year brings with the new clubs!!

Here is an article that appeared in the Davis County Clipper about WXHS golf

Maureen's new golf clubs

Abi being on the golf team has sparked a new interest in golf for us.  We went golfing and I have the OLDEST and HEAVIEST clubs of everyone in our family.  The new clubs now have this 'ping' sound when you hit them.  It is really cool.  So my old clubs don't do that.  My old clubs were a starter set and half as many clubs.  So, here are my new clubs that I got for mother's day!!  I love them.  

I even tried them out.  I can't say that my game is much better but I look much better and they are way more fun to golf with!!  I'm sure my game will improve immensely in the future.

And I look sooo much better!  Love them!

Nick Baseball 2016

This was another day that Nick was just helping out with the snacks at Jack's game

Mother's day 2016

I absolutely love Mother's day.  Wow, did you ever think that I would say that?  I was a disliker for a long time.  But now, I have gotten over other mother's being so perfect.  And just embrace being a mother.  There isn't anything I would rather be than a mother.  well, okay, maybe an astronaut, but I couldn't make the weight requirements.   I didn't have to teach primary because our ward let's the women have the time off to attend relief society.  So I got to do that which I haven't done for about 5 months since I have been a CTR primary teacher.  It was nice to go, except another lady had on my same skirt.  She looked much better than I did.m

I got some new golf clubs.  Fab.  Love them. I have even tried them out already.  (this post is late)  and a can with some flowers in it from Jack. Abi made me a mug with Diet Coke written on it and a note inside.  She knows I love Diet Coke!   Love Love everything.  Nick said he was going to give me a Bass solo.  I am still waiting for that.  I better cash in on that soon before he gives the bass back for the summer.

Love them so much.  Love when they remember me for anything.

 Jack also made me this picture at school for Mother's Day.  Love it.

Clear for another year

Time again for my mammogram.  Well, actually 9 months overdue.  I usually mamm-o-squish in the summertime.  However, last summer I didn't get around to it.  So I got to do the old mammo at the mammogram bus that comes to our school in the parking lot.  Nothing like having a mammogram in your school parking lot.  However, it took about 15 minutes.  It was slick.  So, now I don't have to look forward to that in the summertime.

And the best part? I am cleared for another year!
