Palm Desert Getaway

The weekend before Chris's Change of Command, we spent the weekend enjoying the lovely Desert Willow Resort in Palm Desert with Aunt Holly, Mimi and Papa

It was HOT but there was no lack of pools to swim in and cool off!

Hannah texting all of Aunt Holly's friends.  She especially loved to send messages to Jamie!

AWANA Awards

So so glad we decided to participate in AWANA clubs again this year!  I thought that taking on the job of directing the Sparks group would be too much on my plate, but it ended up being a HUGE blessing.  Boy, I'm gonna miss all those sweet kiddos.  

Hannah and the wonderful, Miss Jody.

We just love her to pieces.

All 3 kiddos earned awards for completion their books this year.  It has been a truly awesome experience with new friends at Carlsbad Community Church.

May Whirlwind

Here are just a few of the fun moments in May.  Luke had Jack over for one last sleepover before we move.  So thankful for the friend Jack has been to Luke.  

Some of the Smiths came over for the evening and I found them all in the middle of art class.

Mother's Day

Hayley's last swim practice.  It has been a great joy to watch her swim this year.  

She has improved so much and really enjoys every minute.

Hayley's friend, Elena came for a sleepover.  I find it crazy that Luke's BFF and Hayley's BFF here in CA look like twins!  

Going away beach bash for the Smiths 

Our sweet babysitter, Maddy, invited us to come and see her high school production of Oklahoma.  

Another playdate at Alga Norte pool in Carlsbad 

with a trip to the Baked Bear after swimming.  You build your own ice cream sandwich and it was amazing!!
