Mothers, mothers, everywhere!

My mom, Susan, and Phil's mom, Jeannine, were both here to celebrate Mother's Day this year. My 5 kiddos also gave me a great reason to feel loved and appreciated.

Sunday was great. We had a wonderful sermon at church on the book of Ruth, a nice Italian roast dinner, some rest time and finished the evening with Allie performing in the annual Mother's Day concert by the Casper Children's Chorale.

As always, trying to get the perfect picture is, um.... always interesting.

Take #1 - Savannah screaming.

Take #2 - remembering to take the sunglasses off. Savannah still screaming.

Take #3 - Sunglasses put away, Savannah not screaming, 4 out of 6 looking at the camera - GOOD ENOUGH!

Grammy joins in on the fun.

Taking this photo was not near as stressful as the earlier ones......


Allie is very proud of her roses and her Children's Chorale Certificate. There is one more group performance in June as part of the State Honor Coir. Allie was also selected to represent the Chorale in one of the six honor trios selected by the conductor, Marcia Patton. She will continue to practice in anticipation of this special event.
