On the Friday before Mother's Day, Jef gave me my present. (we are really bad about keeping presents until the actual day) I was glad he gave it to me early, because I was able to take these pictures!
We've been blessed to be able to go on dates on Friday nights. This Friday, we went to Wright Park and took a walk. We walked around the neighborhood, too, and I took some pictures of flowers on our way.
L-R from the top:
The light pink flowers are azealeas (Wright Park).
Duck (Wright Park)
Beautiful rhodie (Rhododendron) on our walk (N. Yakima Ave.)

A pink tree (")

Cool pink tree (on our walk ... N. Yakima Ave.)
fuzzy lilac-colored flowers
this white flower was on a hedge, the buds were pink, but the flowers came out white.

The end of the AWANA year
Hi all! It's been awhile since I've written anything. We've been really busy, or so it seems. Jef has been getting a lot more business, and the boys and I have been staying busy. We've been enjoying the sunshine. :)
Last night we had our AWANA Fair & Awards night. Everyone had a lot of fun. We ate hot dogs and chips and pudding, then headed inside to play games. There were ring tosses, spinning wheels, put-put golf and Plunko. :) The boys seemed to have a good time. (I was manning the Plunko game, so I only saw them occasionally) After we played, we went upstairs for the awards ceremony. The boys were especially excited. Jonathan was pretty sure he would win Clubber of the Year, because he was the only one who had finished his first book in one year. They made him wait, though, the Clubber of the Year award wasn't handed out until the end!! :)
Nicholas received a perfect church attendance award and Cubbie of the Year!!! We weren't expecting that! :) He was so excited!!! Nicholas received a Cubbie T-shirt. It's cute.
Daniel received a perfect church attendance award and Skipper of the Year!!!!! We weren't expecting that! They split the Sparks into two different things - Skipper of the Year and Hiker of the Year. Elijah got Hiker of the Year. :) He worked really hard.
Jonathan also received a perfect church attendance award and T&T Boys Clubber of the Year!!!!! (we were expecting that :o) ) He was (still is) so excited.
I'll post pictures soon.
Jef got me a digital camera for Mother's Day. :)
