A girl and her bike

We got Harper a bike a few weeks ago, and she's loving it! She picked out a strawberry shortcake one, even thought I don't think she really knows who that is! It has taken her a while to get the hang of it, but she's getting better each time she tries. She claims it makes her legs too tired...so it will be a while before the bike is mastered!!!

Mother's Day...a little late!

I had such a great mother's day! Harper handed me this paper on Saturday night, so I had a lot of decisions to make!


I chose donuts for breakfast because I didn't want to be overly full so early in the morning. I also got to sleep in (something I get to do every weekend) which was great...especially because I had a miserable cold. I let Harper choose lunch, and of course, she chose Potbelly. Then we went to see the movie, Chimpanzee. It was so sweet! After the movie, Harper and I enjoyed a manicure.








Since I knew our dinner would be filling, I chose dessert before church! So we enjoyed some yogurt after our manicures. While there, Harper called her grandmas, and this picture was when she was talking to my Gran-D. It cracked us up!!!


Our evening ended with dinner at Benihana, and it was delicious!!!! I love every single part of that meal. Our table mates were especially entertaining this time, so that made for a funny evening!!! It was a great day with my favorite people! They sure spoiled me!!!

Last Day of School

Harper had her last day of school today. We are both going to miss it this summer. 😊 She had such a wonderful teacher this year. Not only did she invest well into Harper, but she was very interested in my life too. She provided so much encouragement, tears, and hugs as we had Taylor and eventually said goodbye to her. She has also prayed many prayers for Mare and baby Olivia. I am beyond thankful for Mrs. Gigi...the Lord knew she needed to be in my life this year. We will miss her next year but are looking forward to a great year with Mrs. Barb. We love Jubilee Junction!!!

TICKED...

If you know anything about my family, then you know my sister is sick. She has been REALLY sick with Lyme disease for several years now. Recently, my niece Eliana, had terrible seizures and then later was diagnosed with Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. Yes...another tick disease. It honestly seems like a sick joke that this could happen to one family. Insurance companies don't recognize Lyme as a chronic disease (even though it clearly is!), so they only cover your first antibiotic. So needless to say, with Lindsey's illness and Eliana's hospital bills, the Wheelers could use any help they can get. Lindsey set up a give forward page, and I have been praising the Lord each time I check it to see a higher total. I know there are people who would love to help but simply can't... but for those who even have an extra $10 this month, I know one family who would be forever grateful to you. And if you're unable to give, then please consider adding them to your prayer list. Thanks in advance for helping out my sister.

The Princess Party

For the end of the year celebration, Harper's dance studio has a party. They call it the Princess Party, and Harper had a great time. She thoroughly enjoyed her cupcake, as well as mine...no I didn't give her both, but when my back was turned talking to another mom, she took the opportunity to devour mine. I thought it was pretty hilarious! Each girl received a medal when they walked in, and Harper wore hers with pride. We had such a fun time together!


Sitting with her sweet friend Saylor!


Enjoying her cupcake


At the end, Ms Tammy told all the girls to join her on the stage...such a brave woman!


You can sort of see Harper because of her blue bow. She sat perfectly still...I was quite impressed!

Muffins with Mom

Harper's class celebrated their moms today with a fun breakfast. We sat in their (tiny!) chairs and enjoyed eating together. We got some sweet gifts too. Unfortunately at the end, Harper tripped and nailed her forehead on the back of my chair. If you know her, you know her scream let the whole building know something happened to her! Thankfully after an ice pack, she was much better and ready for a fun day at school!



Me and my Harper girl


Her interview about me...cracks me up! We never eat mashed potatoes because Harper HATES them and gags dramatically when she has to try them! And who knew I was so into music?!?


Our last gift was a shrinky-dink of our child's hand print made into a pin...so sweet!

Angelina Ballerina

On Monday, we went to the mall with my mom and sister. Kay-Kay surprised Harper with the treat of going to Build-a-Bear. My mom had seen a ballerina outfit there and thought it'd be the perfect recital gift. So Harper (thankfully) chose the normal brown bunny....that was after being talked out of the tie dye bear. She had such a fun time! She named the bunny Angelina, after the mouse on her ballet game. Thanks again, Kay-Kay, for such a fun treat!!!


Kissing the heart before putting it in

Pure happiness!!!
