Kindergarten Graduate

Max had his Kindergarten Program on Friday. It was so cute watching the kids sing the songs that they had learned throughout the year. He is sad that he has to wait 3 months before he can go back to school again.

I can't believe my little boy is going to be in First Grade in the Fall!

Memorial Day

Yesterday we went hiking in West Canyon of the Stansbury Mountains with Ben and Christina's family. It was nice to get out and enjoy the great weather. The kids had a lot of fun exploring. Max and Charlie are great hikers.

Tech-Savvy Kids

Max: "Mom, I need my microSD card."

Maddie: (While digging something out of her eye) "I have an Eye Pod."

Max: "I'll have to look that up on the Internet."

Maddie: (Pointing to the computer) "Max, that has a mouse in it."

Gotta Love a Bargain

We love to get a good bargain, that is why we love to go to DI so much. At a recent trip to DI Maddie was so excited to get a princess scooter ($4).



Max got Marbleworks ($4)! I think Bret has had as much fun with them as Max. I have never loaded a video before so I thought I would try this out.

Catching Up

I am behind on my blogging. We have had a few weeks dealing with losses and sickness that have left me unmotivated to blog. But along side the trials we have had some happy occasions and family fun. I figured I would post the pictures of the last three weeks all together in one post.

The most exciting event was my brother James' wedding. He was married on April 25th to his long time love Sharee. They had a wonderful wedding and we had a great time.

Maddie loved the dancing, we could not drag here away when it was time for bed.

Here are a few other pictures from the past few weeks.

The new nighttime ritual, a ride from Dad before bed. The kids love it!

One day we found Max up in his closet playing his leapster. Crazy kid.

I went to get Maddie out of the car after returning home from dropping Max off at school and this is what I found. She had pulled her hood up and put her shades on. I had a good laugh.
