Science and Swimming!

Taylor has had the most wonderful, fun school year! During the final days of school she participated in a Harry Potter Science Fair with the 3rd grade. She spent a lot of time preparing and did a wonderful job.

Taylor and her teacher Mrs. Cook!

We were SO lucky that Mitchell was in town and was able to attend with us! He totally loved the Science Fair. I think he looked at EVERY exhibit.

More wonderful 3rd grade friends!


We decided to have an end of the year swimming/birthday party! How awesome!
About 23 friends came to join the fun. Everyone got their own water bottle and squirt gun (what was I thinking?).



Tay and two of her good friends! I love the little cowboy. When I asked him where his swimming suit was he said "Jodi, this is how cowboys roll."
We had pizze, cake and ice cream and played lots of games! What a wonderful place we live that we can be surrounded by so many friends.

The cute girls on this blanket are 4 of Taylor's best friends.

Memorial Day Weekend!

I love Memorial Day and think its a great time to talk about and remember

our wonderful family members who have gone before us!

Here is a photo of Hinkley's gravesite. The kids love taking care of the area

and making sure thier cousin's site looks nice!

Here we are putting flowers on Grandpa Pickett's headstone. We are so lucky to

be able to share such great times with Grandma Pickett. We also put flowers on Grandpa &

Grandma Dattage's, Uncle Clark and Grandma Icy.

Later during the weekend I took the girls to Tracy Aviary. Taylor had to do a report at school

on Toucan's so we loaded in the van to go see one in "actual real life" as Jord would say.

What a beautiful place. We went to two bird shows and Taylor was chosen from the entire crowd as a volunteer.

Crazy May!!

So... My sisters have finally convinced me to join the world of blogging. With so many things going on and no idea where to start here is a quick (sort of) run down of May!

Taylor played soccer for the first time! She is a very fast runner and played very well! She was lucky enough to be on the same team as her best friend!!

Taylor was so lucky to have so much support! Jordie loved playing

with Andrew!

Grandma and Grandpa made it to almost every game! With 5 grandkids

playing soccer they went to about 10 games per week!

We are so blessed to have so many people who love us! Jeff, Mitchell, Jill, Adam, Andrew, Kim,

Hunter, Reagan, Samantha, Ryan, Jamie and Kendall all came to watch Taylor.

Jordan had her first dance review! It was an absolutely incredible night!

Jord really loves to move! She was so thrilled to be in the spotlight!

Once again the family support was incredible. Thank you everyone!!
Jordan got flowers and gifts from everyone.

Saturday SKi Day!!

We decided this year that it was time to get back to skiing. So, the entire family has made their way up to Beaver Mountain every Saturday. We are so blessed to have such a great family and so many opportunities.
