Thanks Mom and Dad Hill

I just wanted to publically thank my mom and dad! I put in a call on Sunday evening stating we had a problem behind our fridge. Our valve went bad and was slowly leaking! Well, dad knows a thing or two so he offered to come and help! They originally came out on Monday evening and he tried to fix it, but the new valve was not working. Well, we made the best of it and I made them dinner, we ate outside(beautiful night), then mom planned a lesson, activity and cupcakes for FHE! sigh,,,,,how nice!:))

Well, I worked today and the previous two days so life has been crazy, but mom usually comes out every so often and watches the kids so I can work! I really do appreciate that she does this because she does it for free and the kids love their Nana! So, today dad came with mom to fix the valve (this time it worked), then he also fixed our toilet which hasn't worked for months and then he washed our windows on the outside plus our screens! When I walked through the door after work, my heart felt so overwhelmed by the help! They did some of this without me having ask too! I feel very loved. So, again thank you , thank you , thank you! Ben, I and the kids appreciate the love, support and kindness!

I've been working more this year and Ben has been working a lot of overtime so that we can live in our home and live our life. It has been a little stressful at times, but having good family and friend support has been one of the reasons we have been doing good and getting by!

with a full heart,

J

Lots of stuff going on!!!

So,

We've been doing all sorts of things in the past few weeks. Tyler and Abby had both of their school cottages which we all went to, even dad! Abby sang some of her songs she's been learning and had a book full of projects they have been doing. Tyler has been learning all about rocks, soil and minerals in science. Their class made volcanoes! How fun! We got to see his volcano explode. Tyler was so excited about it.

Then we had the opportunity to go to the zoo with friends. We always like the zoo and they had the splash area on which made even more fun too!

Abby had 'cRaZy hAt' day at school and she was so proud of her homemade hat, we had to take a picture! By the way, in this house if something is being done or made the other usually has to jump in so Tyler made one too! I loved helping them do this--creativity at its best!
