May happenings

May has been busy with rides in the little red wagon, visiting Temple Square, attending a cousin's baptism, going to WY to visit Grandma's house, practicing for and performing at an end of the year ballet recital, graduating from preschool, and the last day of Kindergarten for Abbie! I'm so glad it's finally summer and hopefully better weather and more relaxing days!

Here are the kids in the wagon together, on a long awaited warm day

Porter was excited to explore the grass and outside once it finally got warm enough

Having fun!

Visiting Temple Square for a preschool field trip with the cousins (and Grandma)

Playing in the fountain

In front of the Christus. I have a lot of memories of visiting this as a child, every time we came to UT it seemed we took a trip to Temple Square and ran up the round ramp to see this statue. Now my kids get to grow up with this memory as well.

Attending a cousin's baptism

Visiting Grandma's house in WY for a couple days. She read the kids stories...

and they helped her plant and water her garden.

Playing on the swingset with cousin Lexi

Riding 4-wheelers at Uncle Walden's house. Leah loved it and rode most of the time we were there, over an hour!

Porter didn't like it too much!

But he loved the kittys!

Leah's preschool graduation

Aunt Rachel made up a little play they performed and made it so cute and fun for the kids with caps and certificates.

Throwing the caps into the air! Hooray!

Abbie earned a Coyote Pride award at school (an award they get if they complete certain requirements in their grade like counting to 100, knowing their sight words, identifying shapes and colors, being able to tie her shoe, etc.)
