These aren't in order as I am blog-uploading challenged. May 26th we celebrated Davis' Kindergarten Graduation. The morning started with the K-4th grade awards so we got to see Eli's class also.
Davis looking so big in his graduation hat :)

Getting his award in the all school part of the program. His teacher selected fruits of the Spirit that she saw in the kids. Davis received an award for kindness. She said that he was very kind to her and others in the classroom. So proud of him.

There were multiple birthday celebrations for Mark this year, but we spend his actual bday in Alaska with family. April and I made his favorite cake - Banana Spice (Gram Boyd special). Probably wasn't as good as Gram's but it did the job. I'm very grateful for all of his 36 years but especially the last 9 birthdays that he has been with me :) Happy Birthday to my wonderful husband and best friend - we all love you very much.
The first day we were in Alaska, Davis literally "lost" his first tooth (might actually be a milestone I'll remember since he lost it on Mark's birthday). It has been dangling for weeks. He has been asking me to pull it but the thought of that brings forward the panic of my own loose teeth as a child so no tooth pulling for me - at least this round. He came inside for dinner and I looked at him and realized it was missing. He had no idea when it had fallen out but he had been in the front yard. My husband was committed to finding his first lost tooth. I thought he efforts in the front yard were hopeless but sure enough he found the thing. I hope in twenty years Davis is super glad that we saved his first lost tooth :) He looks very big and was excited to show people his new smile.
My mother-in-law with Parker and Grayson. Another amazing mom in my life. I can't imagine being a mom without the encouragement, love and support of my mom and Billie.
Me and my boys. I love these little men so much. I don't think there is a day that goes by that I don't thank God that He made me their mom and ask Him to help me be faithful to the huge responsibility of caring for them and shepherding their hearts - one of the most rewarding things in my life!!
