Lagoon

Dance Tech went to Lagoon in May, so we took advantage of the discount tickets.  

It was fun to see Grandma Lori and Grandpa Matt during the day too.

We started our day at Lagoon at the fountain.  

The kids love running around in it and didn't get too wet.

Me and Jonas, Eli and Hannah.  You can barely see Jonas' head.

 They wanted to ride together, too cute.

Family shot

We went on Rattlesnake Rapids and I was worried Jonas was going to get upset about getting all wet.  So we made a competition to see who could get the wettest.
 I'm not sure who won, but I know I lost.

Brady took Hannah and Eli on a couple of roller coasters.  

They liked this one (The Bat).  

They didn't like Colossus though!

Me and Jonas.  This was one of the last rides of the day.

May Happenings

Hannah and Eli participated in their school's FUN RUN Fundraiser.  They both did a great job!  This is my favorite fundraiser because the kids get lots of exercise and almost all of the money goes to the school.  

The kids spend a few weeks training for the big day and get pledges beforehand.

Lovely Hannah did a wonderful job at the end of the year dance recital

The kids and Brady spoiled me on Mother's Day, again. 

 Hannah and I went to a special Mother/ Daughter activity.
It was a dinner and spa treatments.  

Hannah pampered me with a foot bath and then we did each other's nails.
It was a lot of fun!

Here's Jonas on his last day of tumbling.  He had fun showing off his skills.

We went to Richmond for Memorial Day.  

We visited Grandpa Lynn's grave and spent the day at Grandpa and Grandma Skidmore's with family.

Here's Grandma Lori playing with the grandkids.

Uncle Brook took the kids for tractor rides!

It was definitely a fun month... and I didn't even include our trip to Lagoon (that'll get it's own post).

Family Hike to Mesa Falls

Idaho is such a beautiful place.  We went on a family hike up to Mesa Falls in June.

We all enjoyed seeing the upper falls and hiking to see the lower falls.

On the drive home, we stopped at this restaurant for some lunch and ice cream.  

It was a fun day for our family.

Hannah and Y Basketball

Hannah played basketball at the YMCA this year.  She was on a team with 3rd- 6th graders. (It was supposed to be 3rd and 4th, but they didn't have enough players.)  We are so proud of Hannah.  She was a great team player.  She always tried her hardest and wasn't discouraged about being one of the smallest players.

She was #2.  (She has a pink ribbon in her hair.)

Brady and I nicknamed the player standing behind Hannah "MJ".  She was seriously as tall as me!

When I asked Hannah what she liked about playing basketball she said: "I really liked meeting Emily" (the girl on her left).  "I liked playing defense too."

Happy Easter

We had beautiful weather for Easter this year.  

Our kids love going to the neighborhood Easter egg hunt.

Easter morning brought more fun and more eggs to find.

April Fool's Day

We didn't tell our kids that it was April Fool's Day until dinnertime.  

Their jokes are really cute, but we can only take about two hours of them.  

We could hear them plotting at bedtime.  

When we went to bed, we pulled down the covers to find out what all of the sneaking around was about.

I loved all of the toys they stuffed into our pillow cases.

We had a good laugh and had fun telling the kids about it the next day.

General Conference

Our kids love General Conference. It's a fun time together as a family.

This year I prepared some fun activities for the kids to do during the talks. 

 Each time an apostle spoke, they found the activity to do during that talk and colored the flower on the package.

They each made a flower garden (with an apostle on each flower).

We look forward to conference in six months... maybe we'll color leaves :)
