Kades 1st grade field trip

Today was Kades field trip to Red Butte Gardens and I got to chaperone. Neither of us had ever been before. It was beautiful with lots of trails and hiking. We had a fun group. 

Afterwards, we took the bus to liberty park for lunch and playtime. I love getting to hang out with my little guy :) 

Memorial Day

Memorial Day was spent swimming at Legacy Pool with grandma and Grandpa, Scott's family and Keith's family.

Then we headed over to Scott and Jenny's for a BBQ. It was a great long weekend. 

Sunday relaxation

Sundays are the best when you can eat outside and just relax all day.

Home from Bolivia

Grandma and grandpa are home from serving a 2 year mission in Bolivia. We are so proud of them and are even more happy to have them home.

Band/Orchastra Concert

This year Kylie and Bailey wanted to join the school band (Kylie) and Orchastra (Bailey). They each wanted something of their own so chose to do the separate groups. Kylie played my old flute and Bailey chose the violin. 

They've both worked hard this year and have learned a lot. We could see the improvement in the end of the year concert. This was the school performance and both Mom and Dad were able to see. 

Happy mothers day

Love these four and I'm so lucky I get to be their mom. 

For mothers day Paul got my car detailed. He kids brought me breakfast in bed. It was a great day!

Jaxon's 5th Birthday Party

Invitations

Jaxon wanted a Mickey Mouse party and wanted to invite all his friends from preschool AND primary. This was his first birthday party with friends and it was a lot of fun. We played pin the nose on Mickey (I designed and printed all the games), Mickey bingo and Mickey treasure hunt. Jaxon wanted dirt cake and had lots of fun!

Jaxon is Five

Today, Jaxon celebrated his fifth birthday. Jaxon is our silly, little tease. He loves playing jokes on people and teasing them. He's always happy. He's stubborn. He thinks he's never sick and never needs sleep. He works really hard on his speech therapy. He still loves Mickey Mouse but has really gotten into Minecraft this year. He's started collecting all the different toys and loves playing the game on the ipad. Happy birthday Jaxon!

Dual immersion

This year, Kade has been in a dual immersion 1st grade class. He spends half his day learning English (language arts) and the second half doing math, science and history in Spanish. He has learned so much and is doing really well. His teachers put together a "Friendship Around the World" assembly. The kids showcased different Spanish cultures through dress, dance and songs.

It was one of the best kid shows we've seen. Kade did awesome and even did a dance with his friend Megan and had a speaking part.
