May Thoughts

Here we are all the way into May and I can't believe school is almost over. I think this school year went by so fast. Maybe because it's because we didn't have to shut down schools, or wear masks, or wonder who was going to have to quarantine because someone tested positive. It finally feels like things are back to normal. 

This cute girl is just growing right up. She wanted her hair cut again so I took her to Cookie Cutters where she got her hair cut last time. Well the girl who cut her hair this time made it look super uneven on one side, so I ended up taking her to a real salon and having someone else cut it. It looks so much better now and Makayla and I decided she is too old for Cookie cutters now. 

Watching our Number 35 in action. I love Caden's passion for basketball. 

Brynnli is doing so well in reading. She has worked so hard this year and her teacher said she has tested so much higher this year on her reading and summarizing. 
No we aren't sending Caden to the guillotine for not cleaning his room. There is a cute little Colonial ice cream shop that we went to and they had this... kind of random, but the ice cream is really good. 
Baby or dog... sometimes I can't tell. 

We got Bella this little car seat for when we go to Hanna or long car rides. She loved it!!
Baby or 8 year old... sometimes it's hard to tell. 
JK, JK, we love our Brynnie

Grandma Bonnie turned 91 this year. She is doing so well and is just so happy every time we see her. 
Caden's grade put on a Patriotic assembly and we got to go watch it. They sang a lot of great songs about America, the Constitution, and freedom. 



Caden made this picture he is standing in front of. Pretty cool!
Remember how I said my parents were thinking of moving? Well it's official. They are moving closer to us. They put down ernest money on a lot. Hopefully they will be in their new house by next February. My dad is super excited about it, but my mom is not. 
Do you know what makes my little English teacher heart burst with pride? When the kids ask to go to the library and we check out stacks of books. They all love to read and I am so happy they do. 
The Utes Softball team made it to the College World Series and Jo got to host on the radio. Did you know Jo used to coach softball at the University of Utah and she took her team to the World Series two times while she was a coach?
Ok, so this is a cool story. About a month ago Makayla was telling me she was helping her friends in another class with a project they were doing in science. They were making a music video about thermal energy and they needed someone to record it. Then she brought home a permission slip I had to sign saying it was ok for the group project to be on some company's website if they won. I didn't think much about it when I signed it. Well fast forward to the end of May and Makayla and her friends won 2nd place for their video. She got a gift card and a certificate. We thought the gift card had like 10 on it, but we were shocked to find out she won a gift card for $100!! Great Job Makayla!!!
Just whippin up a little dinner in her restaurant. If you ever go to Brynnli's restaurant, she is the server and cook, but most of the time she doesn't clean up. Plus she insists you tip her a lot of money. 
Now that the kids are done with their after school activities, they get to ride their bikes to and from school. 
Tyler picked up Makayla from her friends house and they were taking an extra long time. Apparently they stopped for ice cream along the way. 

Jealous! 

Can you believe summer is right around the corner? I can't wait!!
