Memorial Day Weekend

Happy Memorial Day Weekend

We had a great long weekend. We went on a family

bike, scooter, walk, run ride to the Waterfall.

 Kate & Ella had their last soccer games.

We went to Orange Leaf to celebrate.

(Ella made 5 GOALS at her last game!!)

Awesome soccer medals for our awesome soccer girls.

 We had a Derrick Family BBQ to celebrate

May Birthdays. I made Abby's favorite

chocolate chip bundt cake.

Our family was asked to help put up Flag's

and deliever flyers for Memorial Day.

It was suprisingly a lot of fun. It was a great

patriotic way to start Memorial Day.

We went to the Bountiful Cemetary.

Ella loves that her Great Grandma is Ardella. Bond!!

James completed his first Century of the year, 

a 100 mile bike ride to Crystal Hot Springs,

with Intermountain Medical Group.

He did another ride on Monday through City Creek.

He is enjoying his new bike.

 I took Abby & Kaylee Birthday shopping & to lunch

for Abby's Pre-Birthday celebrations. Cutties!!

 We created our own version of shaved ice with ice cream.

Our shaved ice stand is now open! Yum! 

The kids ran through the sprinklers,

we shot hoops, watched movies, got out the hammock,

and had lots of summer fun!

Viewmont Dance Recital

The girls had their Dance Recital at

Viewmont High Shcool.

Kate - Boys Will Be Boys

Ella - Born To Be Wild

Lucy - Born To Entertain

Kate & Ella Duo - Let It Go

The girls had their own private dressing room

to change into.

My 4 cutties.

This was their last time performing their duo and dances.

They have done a great job and learned so much.

I love my beautiful dancers.

Thank you to Emily & boys,

Grandma & Grandpa Smedley

and Papa J & Grammy for coming!

 Afterwards we went to Fiiz to celebrate.

Ella & Lucy tried Mean Girls (pink poodle with a peep).

Welcome To May

May is a full and busy month. 

Here are some of the fun memories from the month of May.

~ ABBY~

Abby has enjoyed being in SEM this year.

She was able to compete in the District

Math & Science Olympiad. 

Abby is our Krypto master!!

Abby went to The Bees Game on a school field trip.

It just happend to be the game where one teammate bit off

the ear of another....awesome!

Abby caught a bees t-shirt that was thrown into the

crowd!  Score!  Nice catch Abby!

~ KATE ~

Kate has LOVED 2nd grade.  We took M&M cookies

and had a party to celebrate Mrs. Thompson's Birthday.

Kate earned a special park day.

She was pretty excited to take her tennis racket to school.

Kate got to create her own Rock Collection for school.

She enjoyed this project a lot.

Kate made me this beautiful boquet of flowers.

She is always so thoughtful.

Kate has enjoyed being apart of 

The Oak Hills Running Club,

She has earned chick-fil-a gift cards,

bracelets and other prizes for her diligent running.

She was awarded the top runner for her class. She

worked hard and was really excited!

 ~ ELLA ~

 Ella has enjoyed Kindergarten.

She had her first school day eating lunch.

Mrs. Thornell had a Birthday so we took treats

and sang to her with the whole class.

I love being the Birthday Mom!

~LUCY~

 Lucy is everyone's buddy.

 She is our sleeping beauty princess.

 This is makeup...

Lucy LOVES makeup.

This is NOT makeup!
(Smacked by the Wii remote....ouch!)

 Lucy loves to help me bake in the kitchen.

She especially loves tasting everything! 

 Lucy loves to play!  Playing is her way!
