Daisy!!!

Makenna had her pinning ceremony for Daisy girl scouts a couple of weeks ago. She was so excited and loves going. For some reason I keep forgetting about it every week but she reminds me every time....even if it's a couple hours before:) I'm glad she gets to do things with her school friends in the summer!

Last Day of Kindergarten!!!

Makenna's last day of Kindergarten was on June 9th and it was a very emotional day!! She was completely fine and excited when we were home but something happened on the way there. She just all of a sudden started balling!! And I mean balling. She kept saying that she didn't want to go to first grade if she had to leave Mrs. Carvalho! It was so sad. I thought she would be better once we got there but she just kept crying. Thankfully Mrs. Carvalho was the one to open the gate that morning so she was able to give her a hug and try to calm her down. We are so thankful that Makenna had such a great teacher for Kindergarten to start her schooling years!!

 I was also a bit frazzled this day because I was just planning on going to the store really quickly and then picking her up and letting them play at the park with Olivia until swimming lessons but my van had a hard time starting and it sounded like the battery. I still decided to go to the store (we were going to St. George for a funeral the next day so we needed stuff for that), quickly dropped the cold stuff in the fridge then ran to get Kenna and then went to get the battery changed after that!! It was changed in no time thankfully so we were able to have lunch and then still go to swimming lessons!
I picked up all the girls while the moms stayed by their cars and mine (still running so the battery wouldn't die) and there was not a dry eye anywhere. They all had tissues and Mrs. Carvalho had red eyes!! It was so sweet!! We got report cards and their teacher assignments for next year! Makenna is in the same class as Olivia but not Layne!! Then we had to take one last picture of the cute little girls together!!

This is one that Laura took when they were all wearing their girl scout shirts!! So cute!! I'm so glad that Makenna made such good friends and that I got to make such good friends with their Moms!! We are going to enjoy our summer before venturing into another great school year!!

Field Day!!

It's time to try and catch up on my blogging!!! I keep forgetting that just because I put it on facebook, doesn't mean I put it on my blog and since I can't print out facebook....:)

Makenna had her field day on June 3rd. I was able to come and also bring Jordyn. There were so many parents there that I didn't have to do anything but watch. It was great!! I hung out with Laura, Olivia's mommy and we were able to put our little ones on the games that weren't being used at the time so Jordyn had a great time as well!!

It was actually kinda chilly that day and since Makenna got soaked after her first station, she was freezing!! This was one of the few that didn't involve getting soaked.

 Jordyn trying to get the ball to the end!

 Makenna doing the same thing:)

Makenna and Olivia were in the same group and they got to throw wet sponges into collanders on kids' heads!!

 Jordyn trying to do the bouncing balls!

This was actually the first station they went to. They were supposed to pass the sponge over each other's heads and squeeze it out in the bucket but they didn't really get it. They thought you were supposed to squeeze the sponge on the heads! :)

Too fun!! They had a great time and they were quite pooped that afternoon:)

Finally blogging about Easter!!

These pictures are a little backwards but that's ok!! In the first ones, It was Easter night and we are over at Marnae's and had an egg hunt with my little ones! It was Aiden's first Easter even though he was over a year old:)

 This was the best attempt at a group picture:)

 Look...there's a bug!!!

 Don't you take this egg from me!!!

 So cute!!!

And these pics are from Easter morning when the kiddos first woke up. We also went over to my parent's house but we didn't take any pics:(

I got them things that we needed to buy anyway. They needed new swimsuits so they all got a new one and the dresses were a possible choice for our family pics. We didn't use these so they were added to their baskets. Add a couple of $5 movies and candy...:)

I actually hid eggs around the house this year. I usually just put them in and by their baskets. I don't know why I have never hid them before...guess I just never thought about it since we usually do it later in the day but they had fun finding them that morning too:) It was a great Easter!!

This little dude just makes us laugh and laugh!!

Aiden is such a big boy and wants to try and do everything. He gives us this little screech when he wants something and will keep doing it until he gets it. Yes, he has us wrapped around his tiny, little digits!!

He got to water the lawn yesterday!!

He also loves popcycles and will screech for a taste of one if anyone is having one.

Thank goodness he will even clean up the mess of one...lol!! He loves to clean. He is always trying to wipe things up and takes away my broom everytime I try to sweep:)

 He also makes us laugh!! You should have seen him backing up to sit in this 'baby barber chair'!! It was hilarious!! This little man is very rambunctios but I wouldn't trade him for anything!! Love this little guy!! :)

Very first swim lessons!

I hate to say that these are the girls' very first swim lessons but they are! It's not bad for Jordyn but it's about time for Kenna:) I was totally planning on putting them in lessons last year but who knew you had to schedule these lessons in the Winter or they would be booked??? :)

Anyway, they are getting two weeks worth of lessons and I'm hoping that they will be able to get around the water a little better by the end. Makenna did great. She already does really well but this should help her keep her legs and arms more controlled instead of flopping around. Jordyn didn't really want to do anything but I'm hoping that she will warm up to her with each day. I wanted to just get in with her and help her but I had Aiden and it was COLD!! Who knew that it would just barely be 70 degrees at noon in June!! Hopefully she will do better and get something from it!
