SPREADING MORE TAGS...

Photobucket


I have decided to get more TAGS out on their journey. The first person who came to mind is OUR friend April. April is "One in a Million"! Just ask any of my own sons, or any boy that was on a team with either of April's two boys. 

I first met April when I coached her oldest son in Little League. She was amazing from DAY ONE. She is SO sweet and helpful. She has always given her time to Glendora sports and to "HER BOYS" (as she calls them)...as she has personally adopted every single boy...on every one of her boy's sports teams...as her own. If anyone ever needed a ride to a travel soccer game...her car was full of them. She always brought lots of snacks for everyone. Actually, if the boys needed anything...she was always there for them. She volunteered her time to every sport her two sons were involved with. She even played in the adult co-ed soccer league...and she worked in every capacity that she could for that league, too. She even kept up on her duties for the adults, after injuries made her hang up her own cleats. Her latest involvement was the Tennis team at the high school, where she quickly starting running a club team for the boys. There really are TOO many to things to name them all. And if that wasn't already enough...she has a weekly game night at her house for ALL the boys to stop by and play and eat and laugh! And they do! It is so wonderful to have someone like that in the lives of your children...not only to be a friend and a great example of GOODNESS....but, to love them unconditionally like she does. I have never seen her mistreat any of them...she loved them all equally! (of course...I noticed she has always had a special soft spot for my four boys...and vice-a-versa) tee hee

April's younger son is now a senior at the high school and has been friends with my youngest son ever since they were little. They always played together while the older boys were playing in their games. She would always have my son over and has been like a second mother to him...and he ADORES her. Her creativity is beyond measure...as you can she in the photo above...where she and her son are presenting my son with a darling candy creation at his graduation party last June. The smile you see on her face is always there...and she is always happy to greet me with a "HI SWEETIE"! Now you know someone like that has made many days brighter for soooo many people....I know she has for me!!!

I LoVe you April!!!....and so do ALL OF MY BOYS!!!! 

I decided to tag her with these tulips and a card of appreciation. The tulips looked so happy and reminded me of her. They are hanging on the mirror of her car tonight...so she'll have a surprise there in the morning when she goes out for the day. So April...TAG YOU'RE IT!!!!    Smooches xoxox
