Happy Memorial Day

This was the first Memorial Day that I have had a grave to visit. Raegan and I went to see my dad's grave this evening. Why does it never get any easier? I miss my dad daily, he was such an example for good in my life.

Since moving to Pleasant Grove, my dad always wanted to hike to the G on the mountain. He never got to. So before he passed away Raegan made a promise to him that as soon as she could she would hike the G for him and bring back a rock. On Saturday she did just that. (you can see the G on the mountain above his grave)

Here is the rock and the message she put on it before she placed it on his memorial.

Fun Run

On Your Mark...Get Set...GO!!!
Now for the end of the year "Fun Run"!
Andrew was so excited to run. He has been watching his brother and sisters run in it for the past few years. Now it was his turn.

Sydney ran hard too, she got a cramp half way through it that slowed her down a little bit but she still did awesome!

This little guy just enjoyed being out! Nicholas has a smile that lights up his entire face!

Tyler ran to have fun! He did great!

Kalli ran her little heart out! I was so proud of her. I gave the kids the choice after fourth grade if they wanted to run it or not, she choose to. Two full laps around the track...Way to Go!

Raegan decided 10 seconds before the 6th grade race started to run it. She had no intentions on running it. I am so happy she did, she did great! She had a smile on her face the entire race.

Tyler and his 3rd grade buddies!

Way to go Kerby Kids you guys did awesome. We are so proud of you!!!

Dance Festival 2010

I LOVE this time of year!! All of the end of the year activities brings a smile to my face. I love having somewhere to go and getting to watch my kids. Today was the Elementary school's annual Dance Festival. Each class performs a dance out on the field. This year the theme was Disney.

Andrew's class danced to Mary Poppins Step in Time

Sydney's class danced to Tarzan

Tyler's class danced to Peter Pan

Kalli's class danced to Under the Sea, Little Mermaid

Raegan's class danced to Aladdin

Max just wandered up and down the steps, occasionally dancing with the kids.

Here is the whole school including the principal dancing
to High School Musical

This picture brought a tear to mine and dad's eye...This is the last year these five kids will be at the same school together. For the most part they get a long and truly love each other!

Class of 2022

Andrew graduated from Kindergarten today. They had a cute little program. Can you believe that we are already talking about the class of 2022? I am sure time will fly much quicker than I would like. Congratulations to such a nice sweet boy, We love you Andrew!
(I put Andrew in this crazy beachy shirt to help bring the sun out, when we got to the school it was snowing like crazy...this is May??)

The carpool kids! These five buddies have been so cute and have had so much fun this year. It's great to have all of these boys so close. What a fun way to grow up.

Andrew and Isaac have been the best of friends since they were just little. Andrew is so lucky to have Isaac right next door!

Max was so excited for "Andboo" he came running to Andrew and said "You did it Andboo, you did it"

Andrew has been my buddy since he was teeny tiny. He is so loving and respectful and always gives the best hugs. I will miss him when he goes to school for all day next year.
Congratulations my sweet kindergarten graduate!

The Time Has Come...

Today was the sixth grade graduation. Raegan was one of those graduates...It seems strange how fast the time has gone. She was such a hard little toddler and now she is a nice, sweet, helpful Junior Higher!!!! Oh my little girl is growing up and way too quickly!!!

The theme of the graduation was Alice in Wonderland. The graduations hats were Mad Hatter Hats, the girls wore Blue ones and the boys wore Black ones.

Raegan, Jenna, Jenifer and Kendall have been best friends since Kindergarten. Don't you love the Black and Pink!!! Their moms and I got to take these cute girls out to lunch right after.

Jenna and Raegan have been such close friends for so long, they even clog (dance) together. They think so much alike that they did not know that they picked out the very same dress until they got to school...Great minds think alike!!! Aren't they so dang cute!!

What a great sixth grade year!!!

Classic Skating

Today the sixth grade got to go to Classic Skating. I wanted to go too, I wanted to take pictures since Raegan will be out of elementary school soon but I didn't want to embarrass her. So my good friend Kim went as my spy. She posed as a photographer from the PTA with my camera and took pictures. Raegan found out once she got home from school and found me looking at the pictures on the computer, she was surprised, ticked and happy all at the same time. Some day she will thank me for the memories!!!

The Guys

Raegan and her friends are in the back ground. This kid is Ryan Wisner or otherwise known as "the Whiz", he is a little "Ladies Man". Where ever you see Ryan you see the ladies. He is also a friend of Raegans.

The Whiz and the ladies

Raegan isn't really good on skates, I don't know when she has ever even been on them.

Breanna and Raegan.
Poor Breanna had to end the day with a bloody nose.
Good Friends, Good Times!

Big Baby and Wonderful Wednesdays

I wanted to update pictures of my sweet, sweet baby! Nicholas is such a sweet little guy, hardly ever a fuss from this kid. He is now 4 months old and getting too big too quick!

We love Wednesdays! Wednesday Max has play group. These little buddies are so funny together. I can't wait to take this same picture in 10 years and see if much has changed.

We also love Wednesdays because it is TRASH DAY! Max is obsessed with the Trash Man. He can hear him coming from a mile away. He always sits and waits for the Trash Man. Max is lucky enough to receive a "honk, honk" from the Trash Man on his big trash truck horn.

We will see you next Wednesday Trash Man...
