Manila Authors Fair
The kids worked really hard on their books this year and last night we all went to the school and listened to them read to us. It was fun to be in their classrooms and see their hard work:
Day: May 18, 2018
May Days
listening to Grandpa’s monthly fireside!
Sneaking off late to watch AVENGERS!
A real quick non money making lemonade stand cause the girls wanted to do one really badly:
Hanging with Lily on her 17th birthday!
These girls are best friends!
Everyone in Hawaii – Kevin and Liz and the parents and Brady and meeting up with Than and Erica!
Starting the seeds for the garden. The kids LOVE checking on them with Ben and watching them grow:
Cali won FINGERS math game in her 3rd grade class!!
This guy is loving his bike. He learned to go down the curbs finally! and now he begs to ride his bike to school:
Millie stubbed her toe really bad and has been reinjuring it all week. IF she would wear shoes she’d probably be better off… and sometimes you watch the tablet upside down…
Tiago is mastering his scooter – HE IS THE CUTEST:
And they have all been outside on their bikes and bugging the neighbors and enjoying the beautiful weather!
These 2 are the twins. Both born in June, 10 years apart. Blond Hair, blue eyes, chunky, and kind!
SCOUTS
The church announced that they will only be doing scouts through 2019. So about a year and a half. Packer just turned 11 and entered scouts. So we’ll see how much he can accomplish in that short time. And Benji is still going strong on his scouting. He is 2 years in now.
Packer’s Last Soccer Practice
end of an era for these two going to soccer practice together.
Hair Cuts
We had free hair cuts from RSL game tickets so:
First Grade Talent Show
Rewrite the Stars – By Rose Nettesheim and Gentry Hancock
These 2 danced and hula hooped for all of the 1st graders. They LOVED peforming and they did a great job!
Mothers Day 2018
We had an awesome Mothers Day! I didn’t get to talk to my mom until bedtime since she was in Hawaii! But we had Ben’s mom over for dinner!! and had Pete, Michelle, Emily’s families over to celebrate. Matts family stopped by too. Ben made delicious brazillian food and others brought sides and drinks and desserts!!
My kids spoiled me and my hubby spoiled me. I got lots of cards and treats and new watch bands and Lost Cities and grocery delivery and a fanny pack and… seriously – SPOILED. They also sent me up for a nap after church and then woke me up to come eat crepes for lunch!!
Father and Sons/Girls Night
Saying goodbye to the boys:
Then we went shopping!! and then hurried to Cali’s soccer game in the rain! and ate Costa Vida for dinner! and then we went home and watched Netflix and ate fruit dipped in Nutella all night!!! and woke up and kept watching and snacking until the boys got home. (one of us hurriend and did dishes and cleaned up)
The boys went up to Heber area and camped in the van! It was rainy but they still had some adventures and good food and got up early the next morning and played before coming home for soccer.
We all had a blast. It was a special night for all.
Ben is 43!
Birthday Morning!
We met Ben at JCW’s for lunch and then that evening his parents and Savannah stopped by!
And we ate cake and ice cream. And the 43 candles was pretty intense!!
Hope of America
Packer was in Hope of America this year with hundreds of other 5th graders! It’s pretty neat for them to be a part of this. We brought the whole family and had a great time supporting Packer.
