Catching Up!

Just when you think your life can’t get any busier, it does. Somehow you manage to get everything done that needs to get done…everything that is, except blogging. We are a little behind and I don’t see it getting better anytime soon. I have started this post several times and keep changing it because I get interrupted and then life changes and hence the post needs to change. I am determined to get it posted CORRECTLY, today! Get ready for picture overload!



Scout Expo
A couple of weeks ago we attended the Scout Expo with Austin. It was a lot of fun for the kids.

Austin got a bulls eye on the knife throw.

I was mesmerized by this eagle. It has been a long time since I saw one up close and she was simply majestic.

While the kids and I were going around to all the activities, Chris stood in line for the zip line for 1 HOUR and 45 MIN.! We must really love our kids! They really wanted to go on it so we made it happen. SPOILED, I tell ya!

Allison was so brave, I thought she would get up there and start crying but she loved it. Now, if we could get her to ride a two-wheeler...

Austin loved it too!

We also stood in line for 45 minutes for face/arm painting. Allison got a guitar on one arm and a butterfly on the other.

Abigail was so shy that she just got a heart.

Austin sawed some wood and then got a bear claw print branded into it.

Preschool Graduation

We loved, loved, loved Allie's preschool this year. We had a preschool co-op with four other people. The kids loved going and I really enjoyed teaching once a week. The kids really are the best of friends. Their preschool graduation was so cute. They performed a couple of songs and did a graduation cheer. I still can't believe she starts Kindergarten in a few months!

In-Tune

Some of Chris's cousins started a performing group/show choir in Cedar City. It is supposed to be from ages 5 and up but Abigail knew all the songs and dance steps so they let her do it too. They performed at the Cedar City Business Expo a 50's themed program. They did so good and were soooo cute! And of course, my kids were the best! :) Stay-tuned for more pics of their summer play.

Field Day and The Last Day of School

Allison and Abigail got to help the girls in Austin's class during the tug-o-war. The girls lost but only because there is about 5 more boys than girls in his class.

I had never seen Austin hoola-hoop before this day. He actually did really well but didn't place.

Austin got 3rd in the sac race.

We loved Mrs. Greenfield. She was especially nice to Allison and Abigail and would always let them play with things in her room and give them treats. She always included them in class activities and asked about them. We will miss her.
