Hanging out with Jane at Breakfast for Monica's bday. 

lizzie had her 1st grade Patriotic program! It was so cute and they all sang so many wonderful songs about USA! Lizzie was thrilled to do this program she wanted her hair crimpy and wore her Red, white and blue dress to school! 

We are happy it's a long weekend for Memorial Day.

We divided this break the guys went camping/fishing/boating at Flaming Gorge. The girls stayed home and hung out with friends, cousins, went hiking watched the PBS series of Little Women and had a blast!
We baby-sat all of Monica's girls on Friday night, we had so much fun! 

Saturday we went for a bike ride, had a cousins sleepover and then went swimming. Lizzie is really into climbing trees right now. 

The boys had a great time camping! Flaming Gorge looked SO amazing this time of year! 

They had fun torturing Emily with these Crawdads. she freaked out when she saw this on her plate for dinner! 

We have been looking for a new car for a while now and this weekend we found one! I have driven my old can for 11 years now- so it was hard to make a change! But we bought a Toyota Sequoia! I'm excited about it, and think it will be a great car for our family! 

We finished our weekend with fajitas for dinner and strawberry shortcake for dessert!
We had a wonderful long weekend! 

May is a busy, fun month! A lot of things going on and all the end of school activities. Lizzie had her "Chicken Little" Play this week. She was "Ducky Lucky", and she loved every second of it! Such cute songs, happy faces and a great event. 

She is enjoying her soccer season playing with her friends on the team "Unicats". She loves to hustle and play hard with her the girls on her team. 

Isaac earned his Webelo in scouts this week. He has terrific leaders and really enjoys his time at scouts! Lizzie moved up to a bigger bike, it seemed too big for her, bu t she's doing great!
I had the YW here for their activitiy this week, we worked on Personal Progress, such  great group of girls. Danny attended the U of U Business school graduation last week, complete with cap & gown. 

Emily had her Choir end of year performance this week.  She does not love singing in the choir, but I think it's been a great experience for her, and I'm proud of her for doing it. They sounded awesome! 

Now that the weather is great we can ride our bikes in the evenings to "Sweetaly" for our favorite gelato! The kids LOVE this gelato! 

Emily had a big Volleyball tournament on Saturday. It was ALL day long! Her team did good, and it was great learning experience for the whole team!
We are looking forward to summer!  Off to another crazy week! 

We had a wonderful Mother's Day!!
We went to church, Danny spoke and the kids sang in sacrament meeting. Then we came home and had rests, played games, and I took a nap, it was fabulous!
Later we made homemade pizzas on our pizza oven. 

earlier in the week we went swimming at the Randall's pool. WE had a fun family dinner at our house with cousins etc...Lizzies been bust with her dance rehearsals and recitals! She is a very graceful, beautiful dancer, we love watching her perform! 

Friday night the kids had art night! They are all so creative and doing so well at school!

We all went to Lizzie's dance recital at Kingsbury Hall. It was a great event and she did awesome! 

It was a terrific Mother's day!  I love these kids so much!  They bring me joy and laughter every single day! I feel SO blessed! 

May!

Emily is definitely turning into a  preteen lately! She is giving us lots of sass, and attitude! Love her so much!

Danny had an awesome work event this week. He was chosen for an award at work for "Innovation", he has doubled the student enrollment in his programs and is really doing amazing things at his job! I am so proud of him! 

Cute girls under gorgeous blossoms! 

Lizzie wanted double braids and is wearing her new PJ's! 

Danny had all of the YM over to our house for their activity this week. They had a Jazz party watching the Bball game! 

Here's a blurry shot of Danny getting his award. 

Camping Prep- We are going camping this weekend and we wanted foil dinners to eat. So I made all the dinners Friday morning. The kids are really excited to go camping for the weekend, it should be tons of fun! 

We headed out to camp Friday afternoon. We went to Jordanelle to camp this time and it was perfect; warm weather, gorgeous weekend, no wind and so fun!
We got camp all set up, made a fire and then headed down to the lake to explore. 

We made our foil dinner, ate them, and then went back to the water to skip rocks, explore, watch the sun set, and we saw 5 deer! We went back other camp to have a fire, roast s'mores and relax around the fire.
Everyone turned in earlyish for bed, it was cold, and  we were all tired. We slept pretty well, and then woke to the sun. Made a big breakfast the fire and then headed to the lake for fishing, boating, a picnic, swimming and more!

The highlight of the day was Taylor & Isaac getting into the lake, the water was around 53 degrees!  It was SO cold! I put my feet in and they went numb really fast! They stripped down to their underwear and jumped in the lake!

We caught fish, Lizzie caught the biggest of the day- a nice big brown trout! She was thrilled! 

All in all it was a fantastic camping trip! Everyone had fun, lots of smiles and great memories were made.
We are really ready for Summer!
