sweet-awesomeness: May 14th-21st 2017

Another great week!! The weather has been awful, but we had a great week none the less! It started off with Mothers Day!! We got to talk to Chanel!! It was so wonderful!! We miss her so much, so it does the soul good to actually see and hear how wonderful she looks/is...We love that girl.

We got my wonderful Mom a blanket with everyones name on it. It's super cute! Natasha's bright idea!! We love my Mom!! She is the BEST!! The guys made us delicious Hamburgers and homemade ice cream! It was so great and so yummy! I love Mothers Day! :)

Here is me being a goofball at work; we have to do social media posts, so sometimes we get creative...! :)

Rod made me this cute picture at school. I love it. What a sweet boy.

Jaxton had his Portuguese program on Thursday night. It was something, he enjoyed hiding behind the people in front of him and playing with the friend next to him, this made it really hard to see him 80% of the time. But I got this cute picture!!

Jaxton had one part in the show. Holding this weird laminated paper during a song. 97% of the song his face was just like the picture on the right, somehow my friend, Ashleigh, caught the one time he smiled on camera, the picture on the left!! yay! But his eyes are closed, he still looks darling--though he never sang. Not going to lie, it was a very confusing 3 minutes. All the other kids had dancing parts except these boys that held this paper during this song--I think it must have been all the kids that didn't volunteer for anything else. It was so weird. Though it was a weird program, I LOVE having my kids in Portuguese at school--it's the best!! I have loved my kids school and their teachers.

Jaxton has finally gotten over the initial scare with his drone. He LOVES playing with it now and does it as often as he can. I love his smiles in these pictures. It's fun to watch him fly it! Drones are so cool!

Calvin had a checkup! Our doctor is so nice; she gives the kids books every time they have a checkup. Rod was so sweetly reading Calvins book--which Calvin promptly took when he noticed--she gave Rod a book too. Rod is a GREAT reader. I LOVE watching him read, he makes me so proud. He is SO CUTE.

Calvin is 95% for height and 86% for weight! He is so tall--but his weight surprised me! He is so weird about food; we are taking him in to a specialist to get him tested for food aversion next week. We will see if anything comes of that--if nothing else maybe they can give us some good tips on how to deal with his food oddities.

Here is my cute Cal with his book he was so excited about!! "CHEESE!!"

Rodrik was asking me questions and wanting me to literally "guess" the answer. Like "Guess what I'm thinking." And I would say, "what?" and he would say, "guess!" and give me this look. It was SO cute!! I loved the face he kept making. He thought he was so clever!! I love him.

Hazel had a birthday on Saturday!! It was so much fun! I love that girl! She had Sami's dog come over for the party, Hazel LOVES dogs! That dog was definitely the highlight for most of the kids. It was this terrified love that was hilarious to watch! They couldn't stop trying to interact with the dog, but were all so jumpy whenever the dog moved or was too close to them. It was SO CUTE!! They couldn't stop, but they were so scared, but they loved it. It was so funny.

We went to the Gause family dinner on Sunday night! Justin made delicious waffles for dinner for all the mom's as a late mothers day. It was so yummy!! I wish I had gotten pictures!! I'll have to get pictures next we are at the Gause's! I want a picture of Justin with his mom. He made the waffles for her specifically. Love it.

But I must say the highlight had to be Zane, hands down!! That little guy is SOOO CUTE!! I've SO enjoyed holding and snuggling him. It's just too much cuteness and wonderfulness!! He makes everyone so happy!!
