Emma received the Leadership Pillar Award at the school assembly today.  Her teacher said she finds this award to be the hardest to achieve but that Emma was her obvious choice.  Proud of you babe!

Jacob hanging out with a buddy at the church picnic today. 

I won 2nd place in the 30+ women's knapsack race!  It was just starting to rain and my long necklace kept hitting me in the face every time I jumped, but the Starbucks gift card I won made it all worthwhile!

We all know that the blogosphere is renowned for picture perfect Pinterest worthy posts. Anyone that's read my blog, especially my "Not Me" posts know that I'm far from perfect but it I thought it couldn't hurt to post some extra proof.

So here's me eating some humble pie.

Now, that doesn't look so bad at first. But see the brown and blue bags on the bench? Yeah, that's some of the girls end of the year school stuff.

From last year.

I finally sorted through it and cleaned it up just shy of one year later.

Pin that on Pinterest!

My kids are so sweet!! Nathan had taken Emma out on a date and the girls and I were cleaning up supper. They unloaded the clean dishwasher, reloaded the dirty dishes, swept the floors and wiped the counters. I was about to start washing the dishes that needed hand washing when I mentioned how sore my legs were from my intense weight training the day before. The girls had a quick secret conference and then told me that Olivia wax going to give me a massage while Sophia washed the dishes - including muffin tins and everything!!

Today was the annual volunteer appreciation breakfast at school. Emma's class made the lifesaver placemats and Sophia's class was one of the ones that performed for us (Ode to Joy on recorder). Jacob was thrilled that they had pancakes and Timbits! I enjoyed a cinnamon bun and lots of fruit. And the Junior Mints of course.
