We did some hiking up beautiful Millcreek Canyon this week! The weather was perfect and we hike this cute Isaac.
Then later in the week the YM and YW went and did the same hike followed by a campfire and smores. We love living by these gorgeous mountains. 







We spent lots of time at the pool this week. Our first week of summer was lots of fun! Pool days are our favorite, because it's fun to keep cool and everyone comes home tired and worn out! 







Isaac made lots of slime this week. The secret ingredient is borax and shaving cream!



Emily went to Reno for a few days with Mary! They had tons of fun with cousins and went to Lake Tahoe. We love cousins time! 



We celebrated Monica's Bday a few days late with Brunch at at new restaurant called "SweetLake Biscuits" It was a fun morning and the food was delicious!

It's Summer!


We had Sunday dinner here at our house on Sunday. It was extra fun because Marcus and Natalie were here from CA to visit! We had a great night eating dinner and celebrating May Birthdays - Richie, Monica and Danny! 

Danny took the boys fishing at Strawberry Reservoir that weekend. They had incredible views of the lake and lots of fun fishing.
Lizzie had a cousin sleepover at Monica's house and Emily had fun in Island Park, ID with her friends. 

May 30th was Danny's 41st Bday! We had a taco dinner and Key lime pie celebration with our friends the Milliner's.
We all love Danny and hope he has a terrific day!
Emily had her lip sync, song with her class at the school Talent show, and we had the chance to babysit Teddy, our neighbors adorable baby boy!
Also we rode bikes to Sweetly a local Gelato shop and got caught in a huge rainstorm on the way home! It was crazy and we were all soaking wet! 

Friday was the last day of School!!

Lizzie had her Kindergarten program and graduation. She was so excited and happy to perform her class program etc.. She looked adorable in her little cap & gown. 


After her graduation we hurried over to Clayton to see Taylor graduate from Clayton Jr High. They had a nice program, songs etc.. followed by lots of pictures of his friends ets.. 

Taylor has a fantastic group of kids in his grade!  They will all have a great time in high school next year! 


Friday afternoons after all the school stuff I left to go to Logan to ride "Little Red"bike race in Lewiston, Utah.
I went with some friends from the ward. We had a terrific time and really enjoyed the ride and spend time outdoors biking. It was a blast! 

While I was gone Taylor got shaved! The incoming Seniors at high school traditionally shave the incoming freshman at the beginning of the summer! It's a crazy tradition and taylor looked so weird. I hope it all grows back.

We are so ready for Summer!

We were lucky enough to babysit Jane two times this week! She is the sweetest one year old, and always happy and smiley! Lizzie loved helping with her, and we had so much fun. 

Danny and the kids went fishing at Rockport Reservoir. They had tons of success catching rainbow trout! They caught over 40 fish, and had a great day! 

More pics with cute Jane! 

The kids had their Fun Run and Field Day at school on Friday. They ran hard,  ate a popsicle and then had a lot of fun activities for their field day. 

Emily went to Island Park with the Sargent family for the long weekend. She missed school but was having tons of fun at their cabin in ID. 

Taylor had his last Show Choir concert for the year. He had a hard  year with the teacher, Ms. Juarez, but I think he was happy to have participated in the choir. They sang "Africa"as one of their last songs, and it was very entertaining .
Also we let him drive home from the new gelato store "Sweetaly" on Friday night! It was scary but he did good. 

More cool pictures from they day fishing at Rockport!

This was a busy week. Taylor got his cast removed from his arm! He still needs to be a careful, but it's healing.
Danny bought his new fishing boat a couple of weeks ago, it has brought him and the kids endless happiness! They all love it! He took Taylor and Emily to Willard Bay to go fishing on Saturday. They left at 5am and had a fun day of fishing, I'm glad they enjoy it so much! 





Emily had her choir concert performance on Wednesday. She did great , but went back to class before I could get any pictures of her. So I grabbed on after school.  


The kids completed their cards to sell at art night. 


I bought a gallon of Elmer's Glue and the kids were thrilled to make homemade slime! They love this stuff, all of them. It's a fun project. 





We tried the new gelato place in our neighborhood.
Emily and her friends having fun dancing and playing together. 



Isaac and Lizzie both had soccer games on Saturday morning. They both played awesome! I am so proud of them.
Isaac scored a goal and so raced really hard this game. So we went to get milkshakes after, to celebrate!







Here are the rest of the fishing pictures! They had a great day and came home all happy. We even had fish tacos for dinner!
Yay for a terrific weekend!
