Memorial Day

It has become a tradition since my Dad died to visit the Brigham City Cemetery on Memorial Day.

I love that it provides a connection for my kids to their grandfather even though that never knew him.

We also have the chance to visit the grave sites of their great grandparents and several other family members.

I also love that they take it so personally.  That is doesn't just seem something to me - it means something to them.

Of Course - no visit would be complete without the obligatory wade in the canal!

Talent Show

The YM/YW had a talent show back in May. I was so impressed with my boys who worked together to do their own arrangement of "Fireflies" It was fun to hear them practicing and working together and I am amazed at them that they were so willing to share their talents! Jarom also performed a song that he had written himself. Wow! He also performed it at his school's guitar concert and did a solo in his school's choir performance. I am so grateful that they are not afraid to participate and share their talents! They both are way more daring than I ever was -thank goodness for that!
Love you both!

Disney Dance!

Kayleen's dance recital this year had a Disney theme. She danced to "Life is a Highway" from Cars and to "Baby Mine" from Dumbo

(the obligatory tongue!)

The show was complete with an Electric Light Parade for the finale! It was awesome!!

Kayleen loves the flowers that she receives afterwards. It's a little sad that she will not be doing dance next year. We have decided to consolidate activities and pick one to concentrate on. She choose the flute. But I am glad for the 4 years of Dance that she has had and for her wonderful teachers!

It's time

I've taken a little hiatus from...  well just about everything.

The end of the school year was just about as crazy as anything.  My mind was on super overload.

School has now been out for 2 weeks and nothing has been posted.

I've read.  Spent time with my family.  Thought about my summer projects. Worked on some things for girls camp.  Walked.  Hmm..  That's it.

Tomorrow we are taking the kids to Manti and hoping to maybe stop somewhere along the way (any ideas?) and I am charging the battery in my camera. 

It's time to be creative.

hopefully soon.

Another favorite

Isn't she adorable?  For Mother's day I got to sit in church and just hold this beautiful baby.  Totally worked for me.

Baby on Baby

I took this picture of my sister on Mother's Day.  She's nearing her due date and her holding our little niece with her hubby in the background was just so close to what their life will be in just a few days!  Plus the baby on the baby is just classic!

Favorite Football Pics

Finally remembered to bring the camera to Spencer's flag football game. The lighting was great and I got some fun pictures.

So...  without further verbage I give you Spencer - blocking, running, and of course - grabbing flags!
