Decathalon

Abby's team won the 5th grade decathlon. Dave and I like to fight over where she got her speed. I know where but it doesn't hurt to let him think he does. Lol

Catching up

So I know it is FREEZING right now, but that just makes me long for warmer weather. While going through my warmer weather pictures I realized I am way behind on my journal/blog.  One of my New Year's resolutions is to document more...... so here goes.

Last season we decided to get Lagoon season passes for everyone. In the past it's just been one or two kids, but we decided to go for broke (literally) and get one for everyone. (Dave opted out because he knew his work schedule wouldn't permit it.... not to mention it's not his favorite thing.)

 

 

 

I have to admit it was a lot more fun than I thought it would be. I can't even ride very many rides but I had a blast just watching the kids. My favorite part was watching the older kids with Kate. I thought they would all want to go off on their own but no, they were so excited to take her on the rides.

 

 

 

 

 My parent's foreign exchange student came back to visit and we brought her with us. She has been a nanny in California over the past year. She kept telling tell me how good my kids were....and they were that day;)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As fun as it was, we did get our fill of Lagoon for the season. I think we will take next season off and do more Bear Lake.

Too good to miss

5-4-12
So Saydi got a call last night after I had gone to bed from a neighbor wondering if she wanted to go do "Baptisms" at the temple in the morning, 5:30 to be exact. I can't believe she got up all by herself found everything she needed and left, I didn't even need to get out of bed. I am so proud of this child. She is my kid that really likes to sleep in, so for her to do this without any help or persuasion from mom and dad is really something. And after she got back she rushed in changed her clothes and headed off to a math lab to prepare for her test today. I wish I had been that on the ball in 6th grade!!!!

Bree's May performances

 Bree played the Bach Double at her school's Honor night.

 Her Lady Madrigals did a medley from Mary Poppins

and she sang Queen's "Somebody to Love" for her musical theater's GLEE night. Smashing!

4th grade program in Spanish

It was a fun twist to hear the same old 4th grade program in Spanish.

Star Wars at the Symphony!

Truly moving to hear John Williams music live!
