Basketball camp, Swimming, Park, and Splash pads

We've had a great week of summer so far.  The girls had there basketball camp this week, and both loved it.  They got to go together 3-5th grade so that was fun for them, and nice for me because I only had to take the girls to once a day instead of twice.  Preston started swim team without the girls, they will start after soccer camp in another week.  Preston also has been practicing for the summer games in Soccer, and has stayed busy his first week of summer.  We spent Tuesday at the park and splash pad, the kids loved it, but especially Brecken.  He loved the splash pad, and didn't care that the water was cold he just wanted to play in it.  We went to the library, and played night games,We also have been swimming a couple times last week as well.  The kids are all fishes, and Brecken is following in there footsteps.  He loves jumping off the rock, and going down the slide.  He also loves for us to read books to him, he mostly reads books where balloons are involved.  So glad for summer and getting to spend time with the kids.

Schools out for the SUMMER!!!

Yay, we made it to the end of the year again.  Bitter sweet I guess.  I can't believe I have a kid leaving elementary school, it goes way to fast.  Shaylee did great in 3rd, and is excited for 4th grade, and her new teacher.  Addison will have Shaylees old teacher again, since they both are in Chinese Addison get every teacher Shaylee does.  I loved Shaylee's teacher, so I'm excited for Addison to get her as well. All the kids did great on the end of year testing, and got great grades.  So of course we celebrate the first day of summer with our summer basket, and donuts.  Love these kids of mine.

Preston's Constitution Play.

 Preston was Benjamin Franklin in his schools Constitution play.  He wanted that part, because as he put it. "it's the only part, that tells a joke or two and makes people laugh. "  That pretty much sums up Preston.  He loves to make people laugh, and just to laugh in general.  Pretty sad to see him leaving elementary school.  5th Grade was good to him.  He liked his teacher Mrs. Jackson, and can't wait for intermediate school next year, and getting to school by 7:15.  Time goes by to fast.

Sickness, and Preston's 5th Grade Field Trip.

We had sickness finally hit us around here.. we didn't get it all this year until may hits.  When it should be winding down.  We got hit bad.  Addison got it fist on a Saturday, and she didn't feel better tell about Tuesday.  Next Brecken got it.  His started Monday night, and lasted until Thursday.  Shaylee wasn't bad at all and only got a mild case of it, she never missed school.  Preston got hit with it Thursday during his field trip.   Brecken and I went on Preston's Field Trip to the Swimming pool.  We spent most of our time outside the water, since a big thunderstorm moved in.  He got in for about 15 minutes, and then the lightning started.   Preston said he was freezing.   I made him go off the diving board once so I could get a couple pictures.  Brecken enjoyed Preston's field trip more then he did.  About an hour into the field trip Preston had a fever and couldn't stop shivering, so luckily I brought my car, and we left the field trip early.  He was so excited for this day, but darn it when your not feeling well, you just want to get home, and cuddle in some blankets.  So we did.

 This picture is of Brecken, while I mow the law.  He was so sick, but I had put off mowing the lawn for 10 days, so it had to be done, or I wouldn't be able to get my mower through it.  He had a fever that wouldn't brake, I found him asleep in the tramp, as I was finishing up.  Poor guy.

Spring Soccer

 The girls went undefeated this soccer season.  They were so excited.  They played really well, and had so much fun being on a team with friends.  Shaylee, and Addison both scored goals this season.  Addison was really excited since she was 2-3 years younger then all of them.  She has so much confidence, and I hope she never loses that.  Addison is great at any position she is in, but she excels at defense.  Even if she is on offense I'll find her running back to help out the defense.  She loves to take the ball from other people, and is quite good at it too.  She is very persistent.  Shaylee love playing mid-and forward, and I think that is her best position too.  She has great ball control, and loves the game so much.

Brecken's 2!!!

Brecken had his birthday on May 9th.  It was on a Saturday this year, and we had soccer games all day.  To say Brecken loves Balloons would be an understatement, so we blew up a bunch and put them in his room when he was asleep.  We woke up to yelling Balloons over and over. We then went downstairs and opened presents.  He was so excited to open gifts, and have us sing to him.  He was in heaven when we wheeled out a scooter, and tied to it a bunch of balloons.  He was definitely more excited for the balloons.  For breakfast we had a donut and chocolate milk.  He loved it and was so excited the whole morning.  We then headed out to the girls soccer game.  It was so cold, the weather was rainy and windy and 46 so we all froze.  Finally grandma took all the little kids to the car and we watched the rest of the games.  The girls won and both girls scored goals so we were excited.  We had family down since it was mothers day weekend so aunt Stephanie was able to come and watch.  After soccer we all headed to St. George to meet up with Devin, Lisa, and Tynlee at the pizza factory.  We had Matt and Marci's kids there as well.  Grandma Eves was watching them for the week.  So the kids were in heaven eating lunch with all the cousins.  During lunch Addison started getting sick, and she was burning up.  We had to get to Preston's game so we made her sit in the car and lay down.  After the game we headed home since Addison was so sick.  That night my sister Lisa had a gender reveal party.  We all thought it was a boy, and come to find out we get to have another cute niece join our family.  While we were there we borrowed one of Lisa's cupcakes and sang to Brecken.  He loved the candles, and cried when we took them out.  He went in for his 2 year old check up and he is a whopping 23 lbs.  he was 36"  he was 4% in weight, and 87% in height.  He is tall and skinny.  He sleeps really well.  Hates most food.  Really picky eater it's awful.  He also doesn't talk that much.  He loves being outside and playing in the water.  His favorite things are bubbles, and balloons.  He loves his mom and is attached at the hip.  He does like going to nursery now as long as his favorite teacher is there.  He also loves the park.  He doesn't care to ride his little bike or scooter he would rather walk or run.  He loves to jump on the tramp, and loves when we are all on it together.  He knows his shapes, and colors.  Mostly.  A lot of times he will show me the wrong one when I ask he to show me a certain thing.  He thinks it's funny when I tell him No.  He has the best hugs, and loves to play with his older bother, and sisters.  He loves Applesauce, but only the kind that squeezes out of the pouch.  He is great and loves showers, anytime one is on he runs to the room and tries to undress to get in.  He also loves the popcorn song.  He knows all the actions, and loves to sing, and music to dance too.   We sure to love this little guy.  Happy 2nd Birthday Brecken.
