1. Jason!!!!! I love May 4th because we get to show Jason all day how much we love him.
This morning we had the house all decorated and made cinnamon rolls for breakfast.
2. I got some new clothes for Jason's birthday. All he wanted for his birthday was for me to get something new, and I knew he was Serious. So I took him up on it and got me a few new things and wrapped it up for him.
3. I went with Emilee on a field trip to the tulip festival at Thanksgiving Pointe. It was fun! Jayne was happy to be out, the flowers were beautiful, and best of all I got to see Emilee in her junior high element. She is a cute girl and I love her.
4. All 3 of Emilee's teachers told me how much they LOVE her. They all said the nicest things about her and what a cute girl and great student she was. Mrs. Jones said that out of all of her students Em was her very favorite. It made me proud. Every mom needs to hear that every so often.
5. Max's first Dodger game tonight. He pitched the first inning and really hasn't ever practiced. I thought he did great.
6. Going to Brick Oven for Jay's birthday and the craziness with our server. We asked for Red Cream soda for the kids and he brought us Whip Cream in their cups instead. It was crazy stuff the whole time.
7. Colett. I love having her as a neighbor and friend. She is so good to my little girls and I love anytime we are together.
8. Jason is the best husband anyone could possibly ever want. He is truly my best friend and is always so good to me. My life is perfect because of him!!
9. Jayne singing "Happy Birthday" to Jason all day long. She has the cutest little voice.

May 3
1. Jason pulled out Lucy's first tooth and I cried. I hate when they start losing their baby teeth. It changes them. She was so excited to show everyone and made Meagan promise not to tell anyone because she wanted to surprise them. The minute we would pull up to pick up her friends for school, Megan would roll down the window and yell out to them "Lucy lost her first tooth."
2. Abbie running up stairs and putting her 10 dollars under Lucy's pillow and telling her that the tooth fairy had come 5 minutes after she had lost her tooth.
3. Emilee watching Jayne for a few minutes while I ran to the mall to get something for Jay for his birthday.
4. Abbie wore her track outfit to school today because today was her first meet and she was so excited! I told her not to because she would get it all dirty but she couldn't resist. I was gone when she got home from school and of course her white track shirt was dirty so hurry and threw it in the washer in hopes that she could get it clean before I got home. I got home just minutes before we needed to leave to her meet and her shirt was SOAKING wet and all sudsy. I was dying. We had to ring it out the best we could and take off to the meet. We drove all the way there with the shirt hanging out the window to try and dry it. I swear we run a circus around our house.
5. It was so fun to watch Abbie run at her meet. She did great and had SO much fun. She took 1st, 2nd, and 3rd in her 3 different events. I also got to watch Jenny and Tyler run and sit by Nicole. It was another fun, cold, and long day.
6. I made Jason a birthday dinner knowing that tomorrow will be crazy. We had carne asada tacos, homemade salsa, and tres leche. We had to eat fast because I had a RS presidency meeting.
7. I got home tonight at 11:30 and Jason had to clean up his own dinner and get the kids to sleep. Thank heavens for him!

- Getting all the book reports done for April. I hate book reports. Jason started helping Abbie with her cereal box report and then after losing ALL patients I had to take over and finish it. Whew!

April 22
- Enduring last night. Jayne didn't sleep a wink because Jason gave her some "healthy" drink that Ray brought over to us. It turned out to be some green tea something and she wigged out all night. She screamed "medicine" all night and when we would ask her what hurt she would say "my body". The worst part was that I took 2 NyQuil pills before bed because I have this head cold and didn't sleep last night. So I felt drunk and so out of it while she was going crazy.
- I drove up to Thanksgiving Pointe to see Emilee's Natural Curiosity project and was just a few minutes to late because I had to drive Lucy's kindergarten carpool and missed it. I felt bad.
